In an interview during a taping of Inside Texas Politics on Dallas’ WFAA-TV, Shami refused to discount so-called “truther” theories that suggest the U.S. government played a role in the terrorist attacks.

“I’m not sure,” said Shami, who was born in Palestine and has lived in the United States since 1965. “I am not going to really judge or answer about something I’m not really sure about. But the rumors are there that there was a conspiracy. True or not? It’s hard to believe, you know, what happened. It’s really hard to comprehend what happened. Maybe. I’m not sure.”

Shami also said during the interview that he cannot find many white people willing to work, so he hires Hispanics and African Americans instead.

“A majority of the people are going to be Hispanic and African American,” he said. “You don’t find white people who are willing to work in factories. And our history proves, you know, lots of time when they, you know, the white people come to work in a factory they either want to be supervisors or they want to be, you know, paid more than the average person.”

Shami, like Medina, is making his first run for public office. Most polls put him far behind former Houston Mayor Bill White.

Gawd how I hate to hear people say “ya know” every third word.
That’s enough to send him packing.

What a racist idiot. White people have been working in factories since they invented the factories of the industrial age. And they still work in factories all over the US.

But what is this genius paying his black and Hispanic factory workers? Lots of illegals keeping the wage scale low? Lots of nonsense and lots of missing information.

Well it’s a good thing there aren’t any white people in Texas, or they might take offense and vote for someone else.
