'HOW DARE YOU?' Rep. Plaskett Holds GOP Rep's Feet To Fire For Racist Comments
Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-KKK) got the reception he deserved for suggesting that Black people don't care about families.



By Karoli Kuns


Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-KKK) got the reception he deserved for suggesting that Black people don't care about families when Rep. Stacey Plaskett spanked him in public on the House floor during the debate on the American Rescue Plan Act.

Republicans love to be racist and pretend they're not being racist, but it's getting harder and harder for them when they just lay it all out there. Not only that, but Black people aren't going to stay quiet when they do it, especially when they do it on the record. Grothman learned that lesson.

"One of the things that hasn't been mentioned here, the increase in the income tax credit for single people has a marriage penalty in it," Grothman said. "I bring it up because I know the strength that Black Lives Matter had in this last election."


"I know it's a group that doesn't like the old-fashioned family," he tossed in for good measure. ..

Plaskett: 'How dare you say that we are not interested in families in the Black community?'



Rep. Stacey Plaskett, D-U.S. Virgin Islands, responded after Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., made a comment suggesting that the Black Lives Matter movement was not interested in "the old fashioned family." She spoke directly to the congressman calling for his comments to be stricken down, adding "how dare you say that we are not interested in families in the Black community?."March 10, 2021

Or Rush Limbaugh? Or Newt Gingrich? Considering all the societal forces arrayed against them, it's a wonder there are any Black families at all. Yet conservatives regularly break up their families for the most specious reasons imaginable.

Reminds me of that Jim Carrey movie "Liar, Liar", where he cannot lie for 24 hours. These fools keep telling us what vile racist creeps they really are with no help from Democrats.
