Agreed that the usual suspects in the Democratic Party won't.
Of course, if there's no valid case to be made for racism it should not be made merely to score political points. But I hope LTC West looks into it, and if he thinks a racism accusation needs to be made, that fellow conservatives do so.
Bigotry does exist in our circles, the courts may be receptive if a credible case can be made, and I'm not convinced that honest Democrats as well as those who want to bash Republicans for their own reasons won't agree, if the racism case is solid.
I think West has already given us his answer. He intends to run for re-election in a neighboring district, where he stands a chance of being returned to the House.
Frankly, I'd rather we didn't become embroiled in a case of 'racism' against a sitting black congressman - even if he does play for our team. Perhaps even especially because he plays for our team. It's a muddy field we oughtn't be playing on.
