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.
Santa used to freak my kids out a little bit, but that 6 foot Easter Bunny sent them into full DefCon 5 mode.
Thinking logically however, a 6 foot rabbit would freak me out too.
Only Jimmy Stewart could handle that.
If you never saw Harvey, check it out. Great flick.
That naive mindset is the reason Liberals have won the culture war over the past several decades, which has translated into election victories, and will continue to win.
"That doesn't make sense! Why do the Democrats keep doing these silly things?"
The Liberal movement knows EXACTLY what's it's doing. The Dem in this story knows exactly what she's doing. She's calling her opponent a racist, and her opponent now has the burden of explaining "No, I'm not a racist, let me explain why......"
The voters remember that candidate X was accused of racism. The Conservative movement needs to "grow a pair" and use the same tactics.
It’s only going to get worse. Such will be our culture and whites will pay dearly. We look on now, soon we will be put down.
A couple of years ago my 2 yr od daughter recoiled as this black man approached, and he noticed it and said “she doesn’t like me because I’m black” and I basically said “yeah.”
It’s fair to say this boy freaked out b/c she is black...doesn’t mean he’s racist, just means he’s not familiar with dark skinned folks.
the parent might best have said something stunningly tactless like
naw she doesnt hate you she just doesnt easily warm up to..bitter nasty people
I spent those early times in my life with Leafa the maid. I certainly was not afraid of color.
Lol. That would be.funny
Bingo...God spelled backwards....
My take is that the toddler instinctively recognized an evil, racist, socialist monster when it saw one.
GMTA!
Yep.
Nice story. thanks for sharing.
RIP
spoken like that misspelled baseball term .... (b)unt!
Thank you.
She looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...She almost made ME cry! I mean it’s true not everyone can look like Vanessa Williams, but come ON!!! Are there ANY pretty Dems at ALL??? /s;)
An 18 month old is racist? I’ll ask my 18 month old nephew if he is racist. (Bet he would say ‘car race yes...’. He loves watching NASCAR)
I’m crying to having seen her picture...she looks like a cross between Michelle Obama, Helen Thomas and Bigfoot..(with Bigfoot supplying the beauty).
What is that thing? Toadzilla?
Afraid to see a black person... Hmm... Maybe Jesse needs to be introduced to more black people, too.
