The Nevada state Assemblywoman who believes that cancer is a fungus that can be flushed from the body with saline solution has now said that she believes that racism in her state is a thing of the past.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, State Assemblywoman Michelle Fiore (R) said that racism is over, now, so people of color should stop using the race card about voter ID laws and other Republican policies that unfairly impact people of color and the poor.
She also congratulated an African-American colleague for being the first colored person to graduate from his college.
Fiore is one of the cosponsors of a proposed voter ID law in Nevada which like all such laws has been predicted to have an adverse effect on voter turnout by blacks, the elderly and students, all traditionally Democratic voting blocs.
