And then proceeds to say, "I've been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly."
:wtf:
While speaking to a group of Latino students on the virtues of America as a melting pot, Republican Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle said that some of the students looked Asian to her.
As
Jon Ralston reports:
"So that's what we want is a secure and sovereign nation and, you know, I don't know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don't know that. What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country. My grandchildren are evidence of that. I'm evidence of that. I've been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly."
That last comment, about her being called the first Asian legislator? I have no idea what she is talking about.
