Fox News anchor Brit Hume called "baloney" Monday on the notion that House Republicans must help approve the immigration reform legislation that just passed the Senate, arguing that Hispanic voters are still not as important to the GOP as white voters.
The right-leaning Hume was responding to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who warned Sunday that Republicans may never win another presidential election if they don't help pass immigration reform.
"And I am absolutely convinced that this trope that youre hearing that says that if the Republicans dont go for immigration reform much as the Senate has done, theyll never win another presidential election. Oh, baloney," Hume said during an appearance on the conservative cable news channel. "If you look at the statistics, you find there was one significant bloc of voters who turned out in smaller numbers this time in a major way way below expectations, below even their '08 turnout and that was white voters. Now, that doesnt mean that if they turned out thatRomney would have gotten them all but it shows you that this Hispanic vote, which is I think now 8.5 percent of the electorate or something like that, is not nearly as important as, still, as the white vote, which is above 70 percent."(continued)

Brit is an apologist for all of us “whitey’s”.... he laments that the immigrant populace has not yet out-bred us all! Listen to him and BOR... is just disgusting in his support of the Senate bill.
They’re not voting for the abortion party. They’re voting for the “free s#!t” party.
When? Where?
Mr. Bill was incredibly rude to Britt last night...he talks over him and doesn’t allow him to talk....
He’s going to start to lose folks like me who think a lot of Britt and have watched him for years....he has way more experience than Mr. bill and deserves to be listened to....the only thing BO wants to hear is “ I agree with you”: and that shows little character
