And this exercise in being a racist hammer who sees nothing but white nails, is an elected official
Rep. Vanessa Summers was debating the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on Monday when she speculated that Republican Rep. Jud McMillin’s young son is a fledgling racist.
“I have told Representative McMillin I love his little son, but he’s scared of me because of my color,” Summers speculated. “And that’s horrible.”
“It’s true,” Summers said in response to groans from the legislative body.
“And that’s something we’re going to work on. We’ve talked about it. And we’re going to work on it.”
“I asked him ‘please, introduce your child to some people of color so that he won’t live his life as a prejudiced person.’”
McMillin responded to the attack, telling the Indianapolis Star that the incident was “unfortunate.”
“You’d like to think that we would have professional discussion on the House floor and certainly be able to avoid having 18-month-olds in the discussion,” McMillin said.
“I can tell you that if he reacted the same way he reacts with anybody brand new, he buries his head in his dad’s shoulder. Whoever it is, it’s what he does. He’s an 18-month-old kid; he’s in a new environment up here in the place like the Statehouse but doesn’t know anybody. I honestly don’t remember anything out of the ordinary.”
After Monday’s session, Summers stood by her comments …
I can’t find out if Ms. Summers has any family, but she could be so stupid, even if she never had kids of her own, that she would not know that babies all go through a period where they are terrified of new people, including their own relatives?
The stupidity and maliciousness of her public attack on a toddler should draw a censure if not removal.
Beyond the pale.
Greetings:
That “Beyond the pale.” was very white of you.
And speaking of beyond the pale. My father had an observation that he would use when one of my associates went beyond his. “The next time you see your parents,” he would say, “tell them I said they still have some work to do.”
Silly politician.
Well look, her attack isn’t so much on the little kid as it is on what she presumes (without knowledge, we can suppose) the parents are teaching the little kid. Somehow or other, the JennyAssCongresswoman has to believe the parents directly teach the little kid fear of black people. Which assumption she makes, as indicated, with nothing more than her prejudice to go on. She’s a racist, is another way of putting that. Too bad the colleague dad didn’t trouble to openly mention this in his own defense.
I am still afraid of some of my relatives.
(heh, good one mcgehee)
I don’t have kids and I know that kids do that.
I know that some kids do it in a stage and some do it all the time. Some grow out of it and others remain timid.
She knows it too, but she’s such an ideologue she will use any weapon at hand, even a baby.
These are leftists: Never attribute to ignorance what is better attributable to malice.
Somebody tell Ms. Summers that black kids need to be introduced to some people of pallor so they won’t live their lives as prejudiced people.
‘Cause the only prejudice on display here is hers.
The boy wouldn’t eyeball me! Get a rope!

Juche!
Evidently, the child is an excellent judge of character.
she looks like diabetes
She should eat more Quaker oatmeal. It’s the right thing to do.
Not a surprise; it’s perfectly acceptable stuff now.
IMO, Harry Reid established it being fine and dandy for elected officials to attack segments of the population with his legion of slanders against the tea party.
As usual, ‘we the people’ did nothing.
