Pobody's Nerfect.
On Monday afternoon, Bloomberg Politics editor and MSNBC senior burrito correspondent Mark Halperin apologized for an interview two weeks ago in which he ham-handedly quizzed Senator and 2016 presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his Cuban heritage.
In the interview Halperin questioned Cruz on his Hispanic appeal, even his consumption of Cuban dishes, and offered to let Cruz welcome Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders to the race en Español.
The interview flew under the radar until it was torn to shreds by San Jose Mercury-News columnist Ruben Navarrette this weekend. “As a Hispanic, I felt like I was watching a college fraternity have fun with racial stereotypes, like when staging a ‘border party’ where people show up in serapes and fake mustaches,” Navarrette wrote, unleashing the hounds.
Here’s Halperin’s apology in full:
Thank you, Mr. Vet.
Keith Ellison, do you prefer a sword of knife for beheading infidels?
Elizabeth Warren, Do you prefer brunette scalps or blonde scalps?
Mr. Obama, What is your favorite breed of dog and recipe?
Mrs Obama, Do you prefer Churches Chicken or KFC?
Hillary Clinton, which cleaning product do you find removes stains best from dresses?
John Kerry, Why the long face?
Everybody, and I mean everybody, STOP BEING OFFENDED!
Ted Cruz Ping! Yup. I worked with a reporter once that had to do a public apology. You should have heard what he had to say about the public he ‘apologized’ to. It included the words “Probably too stupid to read it anyway”.
Believe NOTHING the media tells you.
Halperin is another liberal liar. He usually tries to mask the fact that he is a liberal punk, but he let down his guard and tried to humiliate Cruz. Big Fail!
“light hearted banter”....LOLOL! With foam coming out of his mouth and daggers from his eyes. I don’t think anybody misunderstood, Mr. Whatever your name is.
Seriously. I want him to ask The Mooch if watermelon is a healthy fruit for school lunches. Could you even imagine?
Not good enough. Racist moron. He needs to pay Cruz retribution money for being so white and oppressing him with his whiteness.
The really sad thing here is that halperin no doubt thought he was being sharp and clever with his questions.
Mark Halperin is an idiot.
Would he have asked Obama to speak jive? How about if he liked fried chicken and watermelon?
Gosh, liberals are dumb.
The Hillary question is the best. Made me LOL.
