Allen West Calls Rep. Maxine Waters A ‘Plantation Overseer,’ Then Sends His Brother To Her For Help

WATERS: Did I tell you his brother was here today?

MATTHEWS: Tell me.

WATERS: He has a brother that’s out of work. Well his brother came up to me, introduced himself, and told me that he’d lost his job — he’d been laid off. And I asked him if he’d called his brother and he said he had. And I said, “And what did he say?”

He said, “He told me to come to the job fair. He told me to come and see you.” And so we’re hopeful that we can help his brother.

MATTHEWS: So he sent him to the plantation, as he put it?

WATERS: Well, you know, that’s a reasonable conclusion.

the rest:

4. Passing the buck, typical republi-CON "Personal Responsibility" advocacy on display.

:puke:

Guess if you want it handled, or done correctly, or even considered at all, let a Democrat take care of it.
