Missouri’s lieutenant governor lashed out at the Justice Department on Monday, accusing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration of racism in the wake of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in Ferguson last year.
“There is more racism in the Justice Department than there is in anywhere I see in the St. Louis area,” Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder said in an interview with NewsMaxTV Monday. “We are making progress. We’ve come an enormous way in 50 years. That’s not to say we don’t have still have more to do. But it is the left — it is the Eric Holder and Obama left — and their minions who are obsessed with race, while the rest of us are moving on beyond it.”
Kinder, a Republican, criticized the administration for “[inciting] a mob” during the protests that followed Brown’s killing.
“The whole blowup of this protest movement was based on the lie that never happened of ‘hands up don’t shoot,’” Kinder said in remarks that were first reported by BuzzFeed. “It’s bad enough the protesters were behaving that way, but we have a right to expect much more from the attorney general, the head of the Justice Department of the United States, and the president of the United States. And instead, what we got too often from them was incitement of the mob, and, uh, encouraging disorder in Ferguson and disrupting the peaceable going-about of our daily lives in the greater St. Louis region.”

There is more racism in America than there was 7 years ago.
Give him credit for balls.
Coin toss.
the media has blood on their hands. Screw you MsNbcnnNyt.
they have it on this small scale and they will have it on islamist uprisings on a larger one.
Very nicely said.
The old “I’m rubber you’re glue” tactic. Only difference is at the DOJ it’s racism against white people with a strong show of black privilege.
CNN is also guilty!
“But it is the left — it is the Eric Holder and Obama left — and their minions who are obsessed with race, while the rest of us are moving on beyond it.”
The truth of this will become apparent whether the old “civil rights” left wants to recognize it or not. Young people today KNOW they aren’t racist.
What do you expect from the BlacKK Klan?
Pray America is waking
Good for him!
Glad he said what he did...but bear in mind he is still a politician...
Taking this stance will enhance his prospects with the non black population who are sick to death of the race baiters making their state look like it’s the 1950’s
OWN IT: Nation’s Largest Teachers Union Funded This ‘ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS’ SIGN [VIDEO]
A militant Wisconsin group funded heavily by the National Education Association — America’s largest teachers union — unfurled a banner declaring “ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS” at an anti-police protest last week.
The group, Wisconsin Jobs Now, organized the protest on Wednesday, EAGnews.org reports.
The next REAL U.S. Attorney General will have a TON of cleaning to do
But... Holder can’t be racist because he doesn’t have the power to impose it on...
oh... wait... yes he DOES have the power to impose his racism on others.
He is a bold one.
Hope he does okay
Seems to me a man wants to have his life in order, taxes, emails, texts, relationships, all of it, in very good order before calling out the goon squad in D.C.
That’s the truth.
Kinder is a hard as nails politician. In 2011 he survived a battle over an issue with a stripper from 17 years prior who was trying to run him down politically as he was once in pursuit of her back then when he was single and she called newspapers and made it public in 2011.
We recently had a respected auditor who committed suicide after he had announced a run for governor and many old line Republicans like Danforth think it was caused by dirty trick threats by others running against him.
Mo politics is pretty hardline on both sides of the aisle.
I saw reports of the suicide and could never quite figure out what happened there.
