Proving that the race card has no bounds a Democrat Indiana lawmaker has accused an 18-month-old of being a racist. While debating the controversial Religious Freedom Bill recently signed into law by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Rep. Vanessa Summers said the toddler, who is the son of her colleague Republican Judson McMillin was afraid of her because shes black. He looked at me like I was a monster and turned around and cried, she said. And I told him you need to introduce your child to some people that are dark-skinned so he will not be scared. Now anyone whos ever met a baby knows they sometimes cry when they meet strangers, or Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny or because, you know, theyre babies and they just cry sometimes.
But not in the mind of Summers. In her mind this baby was a racist who could only have cried in response to her black skin. I told Jud McMillin I love his son, but hes scared of me because of my color. Its hard, she said to the sound of gasps from her colleagues who likely couldnt fathom a dumber statement being made by an elected official. Her colleagues seemed to groan at the insanity of her claim, according to the Indianapolis Star. Its true, Summers insisted. McMillin took the high road in response to the claims. Its just incredibly unfortunate. Youd like to think that we would have professional discussion on the House floor and certainly be able to avoid having 18-month-olds in the discussion, McMillin told the Star. I can tell you that if he reacted the same way he reacts with anybody brand new, he buries his head in his dads shoulder. Whoever it is, its what he does. Hes an 18-month-old kid; hes in a new environment up here in the place like the Statehouse but doesnt know anybody. I honestly dont remember anything out of the ordinary. The Twitterverse responded to the absurd statement accordingly.
That is the most digusting thing I’ve ever heard.
Maybe the baby was repulsed by feel of her evil.
Walking my Black Lab past city bus stops seems to cause a fur/skin color negative reaction on the part of the waiters. My dog clears the path. Funny really.
Does she get some of that $7,500 disbursement the individual Ferguson rioter gets? For the good of Indiana, of course.
Nice little state you got there. Wouldn’t want anything to happen to it....
I’ve been a mall Santa several times. Babies and toddlers (even older kids) cried when brought to my “throne” almost half the time.
She is unwittingly making the case that racism is a natural human instinct.
Children like dogs can sense the evil.
She’d just damned stupid.
I am wondering, what the hell was Judson McMillin thinking bringing his 18 month old son into a place that has people like Vanessa Summers.
My God man, that is bordering on child abuse.
My grandson at that age would have turned his back on her....ha...he did that to strangers...at 21 he’s a bit more friendly now
She’s a Democrat.Any 18 month old should be afraid of her regardless of race and gender.GOD ,please forgive but I detest that accursed party and everyone in it.
Is she from the same hometown as the idiot who said that he is worried that Guam is going to tip over?
Must be something in the water! ;-)
Indeed. Little ones are very intuitive. This b!tch has a gigantic chocolate chip on her shoulder.
Uncle Joe is in DC (liquored up, no doubt), so he felt it was safe.

We took our three year old son to see Santa and waited in line for about 45 minutes just to have him scream and push away from Santa.

LOL You’re right. I like the way you put that.
My own neice used to give me the stink eye and wouldn’t let me pick her up. I found it hilarious....as both my boys used to flirt with anyone when I was shopping! Ha! I was praying for a bit of ‘stranger danger’ from them.
