Obama fanboy Colin Powell caused some commotion among people who actually
care what he still thinks after an appearance on “Meet the Depressed”
Sunday, alleging the GOP has an identity problem among minorities.
Amusingly enough, Powell doesn’t seem to be aware the GOP has a majority of
minorities in the United States Senate, and today one of them corrected the
alleged Republican.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) hit back Monday at a remark made by former
Secretary of State Colin Powell, who told NBC’s “Meet the Press” over the
weekend that “a dark vein of intolerance” in some parts of the Republican
Party was alienating centrist and minority voters.
“I disagree with General Powell’s assessment of the Republican Party
today,” Rubio said on “The Andrea Tantaros Show,” according to audio
uncovered by The Daily Caller.
Rubio cited growing diversity among Republicans in the Senate as
evidence the party had increasing appeal among minorities.
“The Republican Party is the party that placed two Hispanics in the U.S
. Senate,” Rubio, a Cuban-American, continued. “And we have an African-
American senator in the United States Senate.”
The Democratic Party, meanwhile, has zero African-American senators. Funny
how the guy who twice voted for Obama isn’t aware of that. The same guy
might want to also give thanks to the Republican president who appointed him
Secretary of State. |
