A video has surfaced this evening of the incident today involving civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and Tea Party protesters on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Lewis has alleged that he was called a n***** by the protesters.
Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), who was walking with Rep. Lewis, says he heard the word n***** fifteen times.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) claims "It was a chorus" of people yelling "n*****."
The video, filmed by Marooned in Marin and posted at YouTube, shows Reps. Lewis and Carson walking together, with Rep. Cleaver several yards behind as they fight their way through the Tea Party patriots like they were in 1965 Selma, Alabama.
Reps. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) and Maxine Waters (D-CA) are also walking behind Lewis in the video.
View the shocking video here.
FYI.
I don’t hear the supposed offensive language. They are just saying “Kill the bill”.
LOL...
Did Bull Connor sick his dogs on them too?
I am not going to waste my time watching the video but I would guess if it was true some Kos Kiddies got loose from their parents basements.
I only heard “KILL THE BILL” uttered various times. Is that racist thing to say now?
So they heard the short i vowel sound in “Kill the bill” and assumed people were shouting the N-word? Figures.
I heard “Kill the Bill” and some Booing! That’s it!!
Technically it is true. They called each other that when they got away from the crowd.
Rep. Lewis: Hey Cleaver you’re a n*****
Rep. Andre Carson: Did someone just call you a n******
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver: That’s what I heard. Hey Lewis. You are a ******** too.
Rep. Andre Carson: Oh my. I heard it again
I bet that it is written and produced by the network that faked pickups blowing up years ago.
They hear what they want to hear.
I hear KILL THE BILL
I seem to have missed the name calling on the video. If I watch it again, will I hear it?
Shocking video??? I am shocked I never heard the N word when told evidence otherwise.
???
I knew they lied. Glad someone took a video PROVING they lied.
There is no low they are not willing to sink to in trying to discredit the American people.
Amd just where the heck is Tawana Bradley today anyway???
America -- a great idea, didn't last.
They are Black, not deaf. This is an intentional misunderstanding. They are just Race Pimping as usual.
Plants.
I did hear lying crook...but that’s just honesty
