Rapper Killer Mike drew attention late Tuesday after saying during a rally for Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders that a "uterus doesn't qualify you to be president."

The rapper said he was repeating something activist Jane Elliott said when he made the comment while ripping Sanders’s rival Hillary Clinton.

Then they say conservatives are the misogynists.

Man they take offense at the smallest hint don’t they?

He could have said something more neutral, like that it takes genius, not genitals, but it gets AWFUL tiring to have to bow down to all this P.C. sensitivity (one reason why Donald Trump is going over really well with quite a mixed crowd, though he has some hurdles to overcome yet).

I've heard Killer Mike - helluva rapper, but I don't care about the political opinions of entertainers. But it's always fun to see the political correctness demanded by liberals come back to bite them on the butt.

Blacks and the hip-hop, or rap, or whatever. This is music created by the criminal element for the criminal element, if it can be called music at all...speaking over someone else’s song sample isn’t terribly innovative.

This is music created by the criminal element for the criminal element,

And promoted by lily white record execs, because it's cheap to produce and highly profitable.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well it evokes the rip-off element, after all....

[HiTech RedNeck]

Hey, can’t blame whites for not being broad minded, can ya?

MONEY LAUNDERING

[PGR88]

I wonder if he feels the same way about Obama’s skin color?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Huh? That calls forth a picture of trading CDs for tokes, or something like that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Can’t be TOO broad minded, now....

[I want the USA back]

Good. Another highly-privileged minority group member gets to feel what it’s like to be in the sights of the easily offended left.

[digger48]

He didn’t say anything that all of us here don’t already know and say.

Without a Vah-Jay-Jay, Hillary would be living off of Bills book deals and that’s about it. There would have been none of these high paid speeches, any book by Hillary would sell less copies than an instruction manual on a 1960s Delco AM radio.

[TexasCajun]

Someone needs to educate Rapper Killer Mike.

What earth makes a “helluva rapper”?

They talk to a beat. They just talk.

Well, what good rappers do isn't just talk. It's the same as me and my morning-shower bellowing compared to a great singer belting one out.

[Beagle8U]

Bernie should tell Hillary to...Bark like a dog!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The fact that a thug named “Killer Mike” is officially on stage with Sanders doesn’t create a controversy. The fact that he says “a uterus doesn’t qualify you to be president” does. We live in a bizarre world.

[dfwgator]

This whole campaign is bizarre, soup to nuts.

Doesn’t give me a lot of confidence for the long-term survival of this country.
