GOP Rep. Doubles Down On 'War On Whites' Comment

And now he's showing how definitely racist he is:

GOP Rep. Doubles Down On 'War On Whites' Comment

By Caitlin MacNeal Published August 4, 2014, 5:45 PM EDT

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) on Monday did not back away from his accusation that Democrats are waging a "war on whites" during an interview with AL.com.

On Monday morning, Brooks told radio host Laura Ingraham that Democrats have made Republicans' push for stronger border security about race.

"This is a part of the war on whites that’s being launched by the Democratic Party. And the way in which they’re launching this war is by claiming that whites hate everybody else," he said.

Ingraham told him that his comment was "a little out there."

During an interview with AL.com on Monday afternoon, Brooks defended and elaborated on his comment.

I thought I wasn't feeling too energetic today now I know I have been waging war on myself because I am white.
I knew as soon as I became an old white guy I would also be angry. So I got to get those old angry white guys of which I am one. I just don't know what is pissing me off though. I am not mad at anybody in particular just now.

This is the third idiot today blaming Dems for something then using the line "they are waging war on us by...". Today they hit on abortion rights, marriage equality, and the Ebola virus.

13. So essentially Obama got no white votes at all in 2008 and 2012, right?

I mean, if he's waging war on us, we wouldn't vote for him.
