GOP Congressman Blames CNN for What He Said About Blacks Hating White People



"I was quoting is what they were saying last night that I observed on your network, and... their hatred for white people and that saddens me greatly"

We were witness yesterday to Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) saying that black protesters in Charlotte, NC, hate white people, that “they hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not.”

Given the chance to explain him comments and to apologize on CNN’s CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, Pittenger declined to accept personal responsibility for his words and claimed they were taken out of context. He instead blamed CNN for the words that came out of his mouth…………..

What not the famous “taken out of context” argument……… Blame the one reporting……..

More and more it is becoming clear the unstated reason for Trump’s support is found in the race haters and bigots who have had their mouths shut by “political correctness”………

Can’t use the N word any more……”What has this world come to…” they lament …………

All seem to have found a new champion in Trump……..

An example is a Trump campaign official who had the audacity to say “"I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected……….."

It is shocking how many bigots this country is home to……..

What gets me is how they all seem to think that they can say anything under the sun, no matter how obviously stupid/racist/bigoted/hateful it is, and the moment anyone calls them out on it, "No fair! You're taking it out of context!"
 
so much for accepting personal responsibility
no longer admired as a republican trait
