Cenk Uygur talks to “Young Turks” producers Hermela Aregawi, Logan Pollard, and
Jayar Jackson about Ken Emanuelson, a Tea Party leader from Texas who has come
under fire for his comments at a recent GOP event.
In response to a question regarding the Republican Party’s struggles to gain the black vote, Emanuelson replied, “Well, I’m going to be real honest with you. The Republican Party doesn’t want black people to vote if they’re going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats.”
Emanuelson has since walked back his statements, but our panel appreciates the rare honesty from a politician. “Of course he’s right,” Cenk concludes. “I mean, the whole point of the voter ID laws was to make sure black people don’t vote.”
