Steele On Sotomayor: ‘God Help You If You’re A White Male Coming Before Her Bench’

[sarah553807]

This mans ignorance is just getting fucking old



“God help you if you’re a white male coming before her bench,” declared Steele before agreeing with a caller who who wanted the GOP to raise questions about her “character”:

STEELE: And apparently, the comments that she made that have been played up about, you know, the Latina woman being a better judge than the white male is something that she has said on numerous occasions. So this was not just the one and only time it was said. They’ve now found other evidences and other speeches, Trip, that she has made mention of this, this fact that her ethnicity, that her cultural background puts her in a different position as a judge to judge your case.

TRIP: Yep.

STEELE: And God help you if you’re a white male coming before her bench.

TRIP: Why don’t we focus on the content of her character?

STEELE: Well, you got that right. You got that right. Thanks Trip for the call.
