Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke says that Senator Dick Durbin should explain his own previous opposition to the nominations of black women before accusing Senate Republicans of racial motivations for not confirming attorney-general nominee Loretta Lynch.
Last week, after Republicans said they would only hold a confirmation vote for Lynch if Democrats approve language barring taxpayer funding for abortions in a human-trafficking bill, Durbin took to the Senate floor and invoked Rosa Parks, accusing Republicans of making Lynch sit in the back of the bus.
But as Clarke points out, Durbin voted against the nominations of black women on more than one occasion during the Bush administration. He opposed Condoleezza Rices nomination as secretary of state, and Janice Rogers Browns as a federal judge.
If Dick Durbin was driving that bus that Rosa Parks got on that day, she wouldnt have had to worry about sitting at the back of the bus hed have drove [sic] right by and left her at the bus stop, Clarke said on Fox News on Monday.
He encouraged Republicans to develop counterstrategies to these types of accusations by Democrats, rather than playing into their hands by getting defensive.
People reach for this race card when either they dont have an intellectual argument in the political fight thats going on here with Loretta Lynch, Clarke said. The other reason they reach for it is because they know people will flee, people will run, and maybe they can get people to act.
Shame on him.
If Janice Rogers Brown was wearing Benedict Roberts’ robe a whole lot of nonsense could have been avoided.
Milwaukee Sheriff, David Clarke, takes on Illinois Senator, Dick Durbin over charges of racism regarding Loretta Lynch and other nominees.

This guy is awesome.

Sheriff David Clarke, DINO?
He was originally appointed Sheriff by Scott McCallum and always has serious primary opposition.
“He encouraged Republicans to develop counter-strategies to these types of accusations by Democrats, rather than playing into their hands by getting defensive.”
IF ONLY! Yeesh! I am SO tired of, ‘playing nice.’ I want heads on pikes!
WTF are the RINOs afraid of? The Media HATES YOU ANYWAYS. Run with it! Aarrgghhhh!
Walker/Clarke 2016! :)
Of course, the ticket can’t hail from the same state (so it can be Cruz/Clarke). ;-D
He is one FINE lookin' man...and his horse ain't half bad, either! I LOVE that Milwaukeestan and Madistan have mounted police. Walker/Clarke 2016!
Walker/Cruz 2016. That’s as far as I’ll go at this point. :)
Well, technically the P and VP can be from the same state, but the electors from the state could only vote for 1.
One could always pull a Cheney. ;p
How about Clarke...last director of the ATF!
He’d be a good one to dissolve it, for sure!
