The Dallas Morning News decided to endorse
Senator John Cornyn in the Texas Republican primary for reelection
and the Editorial Board gave its reasons why they chose corn and but not only
that they also said why
they didn't choose to endorse certain other candidates
and they said some of them are a little too out there some other than the
positions we don't agree with
but they per day brought up in particular Chris Mack
Mapp and the reason they were able to give him an endorsement is
they if they were told by Chris map that
ranchers should be allowed to shoot on-site
anyone illegally crossing the border onto their land
referring to such people as wetbacks
and he also referred to President Obama as a quote
socialists *** map of course
came under fire for these comments and he actually defended
there's so many people in the in the south who defend the tournament but the
term *** and they say
it is not using that term is as normal as breeding air
in South Texas I I'll
it's always the same explanation I don't remember who it was a few months ago
we use the term *** and then they said it's just
it just the term that we use here it's a very common term
as if that alone makes it an acceptable
acceptable terms yeah I remember talking about that
and I there is something to be said for for habit
white when you are trying to you run for Senate yet when you're in this position
you really should know better the funniest thing is that this is creating
a really great opportunity
for John Cornyn to show himself not to be racist because it really teed it up
and John Cornyn just said hey
these remarks are disgusting and it is way outta bounds in that is just
completely unacceptable
which reminds me i've when I when Jason Collins in the NBA
became the first openly gay player to play in any of the four major
about sports leagues NFL and I'll be NBA
and NHL Kobe Bryant said
this is a huge move forward is just fantastic and I was just thinking about
how funny it is that Kobe Bryant who got in trouble
or for yelling bag on the court he's thrilled that now he has an opportunity
to you brain himself as not being anti-gay and I'm not saying Kobe Bryant
definitively
is anti-gay what we know is he used a word that is a slur
against LGBT individuals but could be bright loves the opportunity
no well it's it's a great opportunity are really begin his
do damage control anymore I I wouldn't say that he's
I E R anti-gay bright he there we go back to have it again it's it's
that's why those words to you that has some people it's just a bad habit
and we talked about it with Alec Baldwin and every time we do this I know no
matter how we say it
we will get emails from people saying we're defending the use of the word
we're not doing that what we're saying
very very clearly is using the term
bag alone using the term *** alone in the absence have more information
doesn't tell us for sure that you have a negative opinion of gay people simply
because they are gay or that they shouldn't have right it doesn't tell us
for sure that you have a negative opinion
have hispanic people or think that day should not have certain rights
when it comes to Chris map he thinks he should be able to shoot
wetbacks on site so that suggests to me that maybe he does actually each
that that the use of the slur does translate what I meant to say was
the word is a bad word to use no matter what
the word is offensive anyone who hears the word is right to be offended
however we still need more information to know what the individuals view is
on the policy regarding whatever group
the word is offensive to rain in the case that mister map I think we know
what that is and I
very clear it's pretty clear bad he is
I incredibly
