And in one single sentence we get to defame not just one person and one entire religion, but two distinct people and two distinct religions (neither of which person practices either religion):
This evening in an interview with Pub Politics, state Sen. Jake Knotts (R-SC) — who is supporting a different candidate — slammed Haley by using a racial slur:
We already got one raghead in the White House, we don’t need a raghead in the governor’s mansion.
Nikki Haley is a Christian convert from the Sikh faith. Knotts - of Don fame, presumably - is a Beck convert from the Civil Rights ages. So that would presume why he thought his *joke* was *funny.*
But don't worry kids. The Republican Party of South Carolina is on it. They won't stand for such brazen racism in the age of Jan Brewer and Tea Parties!
The South Carolina Republican Party has issued a statement condemning Knott’s remarks, saying, “Senator Knotts should apologize for his inappropriate comments, so that we can put this unfortunate incident behind us and focus on issues important to moving our state forward.”
Oh, why even bother?
