I hope this finishes his presidential ambitions, and costs him his seat. He was apparently talking to a small white crowd in an obscure corner of VA, playing to their racism with the slur which means monkey or brown skin. But perhaps the crowd didn't get it. So he then appealed to their nativism by saying "welcome to America" a couple of times to the guy.,
This was totally gratuitous, the cameraman, justt a college student working for Allen's opponent, wasn't attacking Allen physically or verbally. He was just a convenient foil for Allen to show he was jus' a good ole' racist xenophobic white boy and worthy of the crowd's vote.
I don't think someone should be scrapped for one remark, but he made 4 within a very short time. To me this indicates he often speaks and thinks in racist terms when he is not in public. He's courting a white supremacist base of voters. As a senator, or president, this is who he will represent.

You mean can the brownskin young mutt push humpty dumpty off the wall! Maybe sure will be entertaining and show how if your anything but white you have rights! Or if it was a white retard with video cam and Allen said hey you Mongoloid or something intentionally disrespect-full do you think the lawyers and media would be all over that! I realize that is NOT the issue my point is white's in many respects are disadvantage in USA and not treated equal with other races we are ignored more so if you are poor!

Not much. I have a much higher opinion of George Burns and Gracie Allen.

Not very much. I doubt if there a day that goes by when I don't think of him.
From where I stand, he is the most unthought of Senator in our Congress.

I doubt seriously this would cost him his "seat" in the senate, as most senators serve until they expire! A senator can do no wrong......

I think he is a fricking idiot. I cannot believe people would vote for this racist jerk.
