Rep. Steven Horsford, Nevada's only black congressman endorses Biden

Rep. Steven Horsford, Nevada's only black congressman has endorsed Joe Biden for president.

“He is ready to do the job of president on Day one,” Horsford said of Biden in a statement. “And Joe knows Nevada. He campaigned with and served alongside (former President) Barack Obama during the eight years of his successful, scandal-free presidency.”

Horsford credited Biden with helping to “kill” the Yucca Mountain project, which would have dumped nuclear waste from across the country in Nevada.

He also praised the former vice president’s work with Obama on civil rights, labor and the economy, as well as Biden’s work on passing the Affordable Care Act.

Horsford is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and was the first African American majority leader of the Nevada Senate from 2009 to 2013.

Cliven Bundy Says Blacks Might Have Been 'Better Off' As Slaves

Wow I guess being racist makes you a true patriot in the eyes of people like Ted Cruz, Sean Hannity, and Mike Huckabee. Cliven Bundy the current hero of conservative politicians and conservative talking heads made some very racist remarks doing one of his daily diatribes. This conservative "hero" said:

[ SOURCE ] “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

What's funny is that a lot of Bundy's supporters appear to be caught off guard by his remarks while his detractors are not. Now many of his supporters are in full back track mode. LOL. That's what happens when you blindly support someone without knowing who or what they really are. George Cook AAReports.com.
