Stunning video of Devin Nunes defending the N-word emerges after his disastrous lawsuit against parodies

Scott Dworkin at the Democratic Coalition unearthed an old video of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) where the thin-skinned Congressman appears to defend tea party protesters using the N-word to refer to civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-GA).
The protest happened around the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as Obamacare. Lewis joined Congressman Rev. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) and later noted that the tea party members were shouting insults that included the racist term.
During a C-SPAN episode of Washington Journal, Nunes was asked about the protesters, where he claimed they had every right to say what they want. He said the N-word was not appropriate, but didnt call them out for their racist language. He excused away the bigotry by claiming the protesters were just emotional about the healthcare law.
Can you give us a sense of the flavor of the debate on the floor, and what youre hearing? asked host Steve Scully. A lot of angry comments yesterday aimed at a couple of your colleagues including Barney Frank and Congressman John Lewis, using the N-word as some of the protesters jeered at him as he walked through the halls of the Capitol.

This is quite a find though sadly not surprising. For those keeping score, Nunes thinks the n-word hurled at a civil rights leader is cool but a twitter cow making fun of a congressman is not ok. What a warped and twisted little man.
