Obama’s media bodyguards continue to make a mockery of themselves.
Via Mediaite:
A group of guests on MSNBC’s Now on Thursday agreed that a Missouri rodeo clown who wore a mask of President Barack Obamaand invited bulls to run after him was indicative of a larger epidemic of racial animus in America. One guest on the program linked this incident to voter identification laws and said that it shows a significant portion of the country believes Obama is not a legitimate President of the United States because of his race.
“This is a decidedly racially loaded move to wear a mask of the president and invite yourself to be run over by a bull, right?” host Alex Wagner asked her guest, The Root columnist Janell Ross.
Ross and Wagner agreed that the clown’s act amounted to “an actual minstrel show.” […]
“For us to say that this is disrespectful to the president — to President Obama — disrespectful to the office, is true,” Capehart declared. “And it has racial implications.”
