New York Rep. Steve Israel said Sunday a significant part of the Republican Party is “animated by racism,” marking the third time in recent days that a leading Democrat has appeared to make race an issue and draw a sharp response from Republicans.
Israel, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, whose major role is the get his House members re-elected, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that not all of his Republican colleagues are racist.
“Not all of them, of course not,” he said. “But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism.”

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t the KKK mostly DemocRats?
The race card is all they have—This shows how desperate they are.
They need to get over this nonsense. I would bet conservatives have more black friends than liberals do. I find it interesting to check people’s friends on FB. Most of my conservative friends have all sorts of friends. My children have “diverse” friends. They just sound ridiculous. And who bashes black conservatives relentlessly?
The DNC has LONG supported terrorism, antiSemitism,
crucifixions, slavery, beheadings, and child rape
around the world, and going back to the US civil war.
““Not all of them, of course not,” he said. “But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism.”
What the he77 of a stupid answer! What is wrong with him?
The Democrat Plantation must be preserved.
KKK = Democrat Party. Chartered and backed up by the democrat party; their terrorist arm.
Democrats love any minority that knows his place on the plantation.
The D cult both silly and evil at the same time. The same old anti-white crap day after day.
Ergo, I am a proud racist.
GOP should respond that the Dem Party is anti white. Point out that Dems are fast to blame whites for everything even after US has inacted affirmative action, Civil Rights Bill and made allowances for minorities in schools, gov and corporations. Point out that in general whites even pay higher taxes to implement racial equality and now the Dems are still blaming whites and want whites to pay even more. Point out to loud mouth Dems that whites make up 65 percent of the US, if they get mad it ain’t going to be pretty.
Bull Connor, Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Orville Faubus, the entire KKK - ALL DEMOCRATS. Oh, and Algore’s daddy, too.
Westboro thug Fred Phelps was a DemonRAT and the recipient of numerous awards from racist outfits such as the NAACP, an organization founded by the notorious commie, W.E.B. DuBois and like-minded subversives.
Awesome.
These guys are now openly admitting defeat and that their ideology has no merit.
I’m racist
Not all of them, of course not,” he said. “But to a significant extent, the Republican base does have elements that are animated by racism.”
Name em, Richard Head and give precise examples.
Thank you for that great video.
These folks know what’s going on, and I’d back them 100%..at the ballot box...or in the street.
When someone calls me a racist I ask if the reason they don’t live in a predominantly minority neighborhood is because the people are poor.....or because they are black. If you’re gonna preach it you darn well better be living it.
