Nevada Congressman: Bundy Militia Needs to Leave Because They’re Making Residents Nervous
PJ Tattler ^ | 4/25/14 | Bridget Johnson

Posted on 04/27/2014 10:17:29 AM PDT by Nachum

A freshman Nevada congressman said the militiamen need to leave the area around Cliven Bundy’s cattle ranch because they’re scaring kids trying to walk to school.

Rep. Steve Horsford (D-Nev.), who represents the recently created 4th District of central Nevada, told MSNBC that he spent Thursday in Mesquite, “meeting with residents who actually live in Bunkerville, who are neighbors of Cliven Bundy, who live in the Moapa Valley community.”

“And they, like myself, are extremely frustrated by the fact that we have these armed militia in our community, the fact that children in Bunkerville, which is a community of only about 1,200, 1,300 people cannot walk around the corner to their school without armed militia on the hills of our community, that they can’t go to church on Sunday without armed militia being in or around the church because Cliven Bundy is there and the armed militia are there,” he said.

“And his comments today do not reflect our community. They don’t reflect the majority views of Nevadans or the Western way of life and the way that most of us feel. They are racist. His comments were racist. They are infused with bigotry and hatred. And they belong in the dustbin of history,” added the first person of color to represent Nevada in Congress.

“He profiled the African-American community, and it’s so ironic and hypocritical because he says that people don’t understand his way of life, but yet he would profile and make judgments about another community’s way of life. He’s wrong. He’s racist. And we need to have the armed militia leave our communities.”

Who is Clive Bundy to criticize our beautiful traditions of Purple Drank and gettin’ a lil’ sumpin-sumpin from Uncle Sam, Yo.”

Rep. Horsford then placed a mat on the ground and went into an impromptu break dance routine, showing unexpected balance and dexterity.

One of the uh, less desirable parts of Vegas. Maybe even where that racist Cliven Bundy saw welfare dwellers doing nothing and having nothing to do.

I’m sort of curious. With all the scary armed “militia” around, has there been any crime whatsoever in this community?

I support Bundy. the news media are the worst threat Americans and humans face. the news media are almost all democrats

The federal government owns 86% of the land in Nevada

the government this much land in Nevada and other states is socialism/communism. the land must be given to the states and individuals NOW

I agree with your points

Yep. A bunch of scary guys with military weapons and uniforms killed a bunch of a rancher's cows.

I have posted time and time again since the beginning: we CANNOT co-exist with traitorous liberals. One of us has to ‘go” in order to save the country.

It would appear that we have become two nations attempting to occupy the same space. I fear this will not end well.

Gen 25.22-23 And the children struggled together inside her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord: 23. And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger:

Gen 25.27. And the boys grew; and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents:

Oba 1.18. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble, and they shall burn them and consume them; and none shall remain of the house of Esau; for the Lord has spoken it:

“It would appear that we have become two nations attempting to occupy the same space. I fear this will not end well.”

Yup. America is polarized beyond compatibility. Reconciliation is now not possible.

As some pundit said recently, America is now a pressure cooker without a release valve.

God help us.

I played a little game with myself when I read the headline. Without reading the article I challenged myself to try to figure out if the mentioned Congressman was a D or an R.

Not much of a challenge, but this is a lazy Sunday after all.

Is it just me, or does anybody else find it disturbing that the Democrats supported thousands and thousands of Occupy protesters who destroyed public and private property and terrorized business owners and the general public but now consider a simple rancher in rural Nevada and 200 of his supporters to be domestic terrorists?

Simply a blatant attempt to remove the militia members from the area by using their favorite tactic, playing the race card. I’m thinking it won’t have the effect they were hoping for, but we’ll see.
