Asked to Condemn Omar, Dem Congressman Calls Crenshaw Racist

‘This ain’t about Ilhan Omar’

EXCERPT:

CASTEN: “The last amendment on the floor that day came from Dan Crenshaw, the new Republican, the Navy SEAL with the eye patch. He came up with an amendment to say, ‘We're going to add a rider on this bill that says that illegals can't vote.' And I sat there and I said, ‘You know what? You're not allowed to vote if you're not a citizen.' Why are you doing that? The reason you're doing that is because you are a racist. Because you are trying to appeal to people who will vote for you if you stand up and oppose brown people. Yesterday we voted against hatred. Who is going to call that out? The answer is nobody. That's what we have to stand up to. This ain't about Ilhan Omar. Did she say some unfortunate things? You bet she did. But you know what? She apologized for it, we did that. And if you don't stand up and recognize that, then that's the problem."
