US Senate candidate apologizes for using racist slur while trying to say ‘bugaboo’


A Maryland Democratic congressman running for US Senate has apologised for using a racist slur during a hearing on Capitol Hill.

Speaking during a House budget committee hearing, David Trone said: “So this Republican jigaboo that it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business. They’ve never been there. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.”

The next junior Senator from Maryland is going to be Larry Hogan. Trone is a clown.

Haven’t heard that slur in decades.

Wonder how it was part of his vocab still.

Hmmmm

Part of the game...he apologized and said his white privilege was the reason. Like a commercial for CNN and msnbc

jig·a·boo. plural jigaboos. offensive. used as an insulting and contemptuous term for a black person.

So this Republican jigaboo

I laughed my arse off when I read this.

But seriously, it's almost verbatim what they've said for years about Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Allen West, JC Watts, Dr. Ben Carson, MLK, Tim Scott and pretty much every black conservative throughout history.

Dims are blatantly and overtly racially bigoted and it blows my mind that the black community so overwhelmingly still support them.

Upon learning the meaning of the word I was deeply disappointed to have accidentally used it, and I apologise.

I definitely believe he didn't know what it meant

quote:

Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to whom Trone was speaking on Thursday, is Black. She declined to comment to the Post.

Of course she declined, he's a democrat

quote:

Trone’s closest competitor, Angela Alsobrooks, a state politician, is Black. She also declined to comment.

Of course she declined, he's a democrat

quote:

I recognise that as a white man, I have privilege.

And there it is. All better
