Staffer: Rep. Jenkins didn’t read Johnson resolution


TOPEKA | A spokeswoman for Rep. Lynn Jenkins said the freshman congresswoman didn’t read a resolution she supported urging a pardon for boxer Jack Johnson that contain the phrase “great white hope,” a term she recently was criticized for using at a forum in northeast Kansas.

The July resolution urged President Barack Obama to pardon Johnson posthumously for a prison term.

Jenkins, a Republican, caused a stir when she used the phrase on Aug. 19 during a town hall meeting in Hiawatha. She apologized for the remark, but said it was in reference to the GOP’s need for bright, young leadership. Someone in the crowd recorded it and gave the video to the Kansas Democratic Party.

A staffer told the Topeka Capital-Journal on Monday that Jenkins didn’t review the Johnson resolution before it came up for House vote.

“No, she did not read the specific resolution,” said Mary Geiger, Jenkins’ press secretary.

1. She can read?

I might need to see her prove it...

2. Maybe not

She is not too bright. LOL

3. Why would they read it? They were against it on political basis

It was presented by Obama and the Democrats so the Republicans are automatically against it.

For them to read it would be a wast of time.

5. It's not the Health Care Bill, it was a resolution

to pardon Jack Johnson, the boxer. Remember the Great White Hope?

Last week Jenkins was taped telling a town hall that the GOP was looking for a "Great White Hope". When the state Democratic party called her on it, she claimed she had never heard of the Great White Hope. So the party said well, you just voted on a resolution to pardon Jack Johnson a few weeks ago. Then yesterday, she said well she had not read the resolution.

She's a major idiot.

4. frankly i don't think they care what's in the bill. they have no intentions of voting for anything.

6. It was a resolution and she voted yes

7. Surely someone made some reference to "Great White Hope"

putting it into context while this bill was bouncing around. So the defense that she didn't know what the phrase meant when she stepped in it is even more ridiculous.

8. Yes it is ridiculous

But this woman is really a nutcase. I just posted this about her: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6440361&mesg_id=6440361
