In a constituent meeting gone awry that was captured on shaky, amateur video, embattled Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) berated a group of local activists who oppose amnesty legislation, suggesting they were racist and saying they didn't have “any damn facts.”
“You're telling me what people have told you? You don't have any damn facts!” Ellmers exploded at one of the activists when he said that employers – who often claim a labor shortage to argue for amnesty – frequently don't post job openings in that region.
“Facts – numbers. Facts – documents,” Ellmers lectured, her voice dripping with disdain. She went on to attribute the activist's views to “resentment...because of a personal issue that you experienced,” later referring to a local company that had laid off workers. “I know where your hatred and vitriol is coming from,” she added.
The incident is the second time in a little more than a week that Ellmers has suffered an embarrassing public outburst over the immigration issue – the first coming March 13 in an interview with nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham, whom Ellmers called “ignorant” and “small-minded.” She also ran into trouble when she claimed to have the same position on the issue as Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), only to have Lee's communications director publicly distance his boss from Ellmers' position.

Bye Bye Renee-seriously, folks-is this the best this once great nation can come up with to represent us?
.
She will be running against American Idol Clay Aiken.
a gigantic miss (ala rubio) by the tea party, and that included me. another reason we need the vetting of a real conservative party.
Back in 2010 she supported AZ’s immigration law.
Beltway fever, and too much Red Bull?
At least she promised she wasn’t “going to make a career of it (politics),” so she’s going back to nursing, right?
Chamber of illegal alien commerce money..what a sell out.
Hope Frank Roche takes this fraud to the woodshed.
Sounds to me like she really shot herself in the foot bigtime.
I don’t know how she votes on other issues, but on this one, how could you distinguish her from a Democrat?
And she will lose to him/her.
She is terrible on everything. Maybe she could run for Senate instead and help split the pro-amnesty vote with Tillis.

She said she agreed with Mike Lee, Cruz and Rand Paul even though each is different on amnesty. But even Rand I think understands that not one of them should ever be allowed to vote.
“Only after this legal work status is obtained can individuals have the opportunity to begin the naturalization process - if that is their choice. “
At least if Akin wins a conservative will take the seat back in 2016 and it won’t have been wasted for a decade under Ellmers control. Doesn’t McIntyre(D) or Shuler(D) have a protege who could swoop in and run opposing amnesty?
Yeah we have all the facts we need - overrun welfare programs rhat bankrupt cities, overwhelmed school systems and hospitals, illegals being paid under the table and not paying taxes, anchor babies in finim, auto accidents with no insurance, inordinately high drunk driving deaths contributors, overcrowding / exploding urban populations. If you want specifics the stats will overwhelmingly make our case but will take us forever to complile because its so widespread.
The only fact we need to know about you Elmmers is that you want illegals here to keep you and your kind in power and we are going to remove you and you kind one seat at a time and put you out on the streets.

I would certainly hope not - I hope instead Frank Roche is the GOP candidate defeating him.
