The picture, which was posted June 6, showed Cummings at a department fundraiser with three men who were wearing fake mustaches and sombreros.

I’ll bet there are a hell of a lot of “offended” Muzzies out there. It doesn’t take much to “offend” a Muzzie.

They should claim they are transnationaled, they were born that way and it is against their rights to not let them self identify as Mexican.

Meanwhile tens of millions of Mexicans routinely disrespect our laws, rules, borders and sovereignty as they gang rape our system..

Then Americans beg for forgiveness for having fun, and posting fundraiser pics while trying to sell tacos..

spit*

Leave it to the Communist American hating SOBs running the LA Times as well as some of the American hating Communist in the neighborhood.

“I’ll bet there are a hell of a lot of “offended” Muzzies out there.”

Here’s a suggestion for next year’s fund raiser. Have the Muzzies start a fire and the Mustachioed guys stomp it out. That would make everybody happy.

I agree.

Good God people—Political “Correctness” is what is KILLING this country!

It’s a stupid photograph!!!!!

And yet, black on white crime abounds, infants half-way out of the womb have their spines severed, young girls and boys are raped, senior citizens become prey in the country most of them fought for, our pResident is a f*cking alien, we have voting fraud, we have no investigative media, we’re importing Somolians and Syrians, and God knows what else, and people’s sensibilities are offended by THIS!?!

Political correctness KILLS!

Call a spade a spade—call a sodomite a sodomite—call a usurper a usurper—call and ILLEGAL ALIEN a CRIMINAL LAW BREAKER. Call an abortionist a murderer.

Idiot socialists use language AGAINST Americans that should know better.

Good God-grow up and fight.

If you believe their is a woman inside of you just bursting to get out, they can’t line up a surgical team and makeover people fast enough, but if you get in touch with your inner mexican they threaten your job and pension.

The LA Fire Dept is owned and operated by racist “Stentorians”.

I agree, it’s like no Mexicans wear sombreros or have mustaches. When am I going to hear someone complain about America, Americans, our Flag and our way of life being disparaged. Everyone wants our money and lifestyle while at the same time they are pissing on us.

Screw the apology, and state no further recognition nor patronage for anything resembling the Mexican culture.
