And yes, he’s serious.

Via Breitbart:

Monday on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,” host Ed Schultz blamed the Republican party for the racist comments allegedly made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

“I do believe that the conservatives in this country continue to fuel racism by their policies that attack minorities in this country, and try to keep the working folk down. It emboldens people who are in power to say what they say with absolutely no responsibility whatsoever,” he said.

“I think this constant negativity and attacking of the President of the United States has emboldened a lot of people in this country to have at it with absolutely no reproductions whatsoever,” he added.
