Spot the racist: Dick Durbin caught in a ‘tell’
By Jack Hellner
Perhaps taking his cue from an NBC host, Senator Dick Durbin used a racist “dog whistle†expression so patently vile that he has been forced to apologize.
Last week NBC host Craig Melvin asked a black Senator if he was being used as a token. Via The Right Scoop:
UGH: NBC hosts asks Sen. Tim Scott if the GOP is using him as a “tokenâ€
