Dem to GOP: 'Prove Me Wrong' That Leaving Flint Out Isn't Motivated By Race
Source: Talking Points Memo
Rep. Daniel Kildee (D-MI) went to the floor of the House Tuesday afternoon to demand answers about why money for Flint, Michigan, was stalled in Congress. But he already had a pretty good idea why.
"I have to admit, Mr. Speaker, I'm coming to a conclusion that I don't want to come to, that the leadership in this House when they think about Flint or when they look at Flint, they see something different," Kildee said. "They don't see American citizens, don't see people in need, but there's something about this poor community, this poor majority-minority community that exempts them from the kind of help that we have provided time and time again to people in crisis in this country."
Kildee, who is white and represents majority-black Flint, was upset that funding for Flint's lead-contaminated water crisis was not only not included in the must-pass continuing resolution that Republicans drafted in the Senate, but that Republicans also rejected an amendment to add it to the water resources funding bill late Monday evening in a party line vote, again throwing its future into question.
"I hate to come to the conclusion that there's something about these people that causes this Congress to decide they don't deserve that help. That is a shame," Kildee said.

Notice that the Georgia repunk wasn't pissed off because of his racism, but because Rep. Kildee exposed the real reason not for funding Flint: racism. He was mad because he'd have to admit to being a bigot.
The nerve of the Democrats to tell the truth about the repunks!
