The RNC should withdraw support for Sen. Allen
17 AugFrom MoveOn.Org:
At a campaign stop Virginia senator George Allen singled out the only non-white member of the audience–S.R. Sidarth, a young Indian-American volunteering for his opponent–and called him a “macaque” (a racial slur meaning ‘monkey’). He went on to say, “welcome to America,” when in fact, Mr. Sidarth was born and raised in Virginia.
Bigotry has no place in our democracy. The Republican National Committee should withdraw support from Sen. Allen for his behavior.
Republicans have used racism to try to win over voters for decades, but this kind of pandering has absolutely no place in our politics. That’s why we’re standing with Color of Change to ask the Republican National Committee to withdraw support from Sen. Allen. We need to send a strong message that America won’t tolerate bigotry.
