GOP Rep Doubles Down On Racist Tweet: “It’s All True”

“It’s all true. I can put up another controversial post tomorrow if you want me to. I mean, we do have freedom of speech. I’ll say what I want.  It’s not a big deal to me. It’s like something stuck to the bottom of my boot. Just scrape it off and move on with my life.” – GOP Rep. Clay Higgins, in a statement sent to CNN’s Anderson Cooper just before Cooper hosted a discussion about Higgins’ tweet with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.  So much for “prayer and redemption,” isn’t that right, Speaking Johnson?

Cooper: Higgins has told CNN that he stood by his comments adding “it’s all true. I can put up another controversial post tomorrow… I’ll say what I want… it’s not a big deal to me, it’s like something stuck to the bottom of my boot. Just scrape it off..” pic.twitter.com/2y11EGdEAv
