MSNBC Host: “Heart And Soul” of Republican Party Is Racist…
And just yesterday they were claiming race baiting “isn’t who we are.”
ALEX WAGNER: As John Stanton reports according to one southern Republican lawmaker, the reason the party has had such a hard time doing anything on immigration reform is because “it’s racial. if you go to town halls, people say things like ‘these people have a different culture than we do’, and that’s code for race.” …
Sam Stein, one would hope we have moved past the question of alligator-filled moats but it is a fair point that John Stanton brought up that what’s driving division over immigration reform is the base itself, which makes tackling it that much harder. John Boehner came out and excoriated outside groups over the last spending bill in the fall…and seemed to maybe be putting those demons in a box. But this is very much the heart and soul of the Republican party, this argument.
