Florida Republican Rep. Allen West said liberal Democrats in Congress — including many members of the Congressional Black Caucus — who walked out on the bipartisan votes to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal and civil contempt of Congress did so because Holder is black.
“Today the Congressional Black Caucus and other liberal Members of Congress judged the Attorney General by the color of his skin, and not by the content of his character,” West said of their walkout in a Facebook post. “I am disappointed my colleagues would rather engage in a political stunt to distract the American people from knowing the truth behind the Attorney General’s disregard of the law and disrespect of congressional oversight to provide requested documents.”
On Thursday 17 Democrats joined all but two House Republicans to vote to hold Holder in criminal contempt of Congress. And 21 Democrats joined all House Republicans to vote to hold Holder in civil contempt of Congress. (SEE ALSO: GOP congressman who voted ‘no’ on criminal contempt demands Holder’s resignation)

If I were West I wouldn’t worry too much about the CBC and Democrat walkout.
Instead of it becoming anything serious it was more or less humorous.
They are a joke.If they wish to make fools of themselves , they are on the right track.
“not by the content of his character”
Holder has no character. He is an immoral black racist who has already stated that he has contempt for whites.
That is the perfect response, throw the racist crap right back in their face.
Is this man wrong about black Americans or is he just telling it like it is?
Right on! Bravo!
...And so much for the memory of Brian Terry....
West is right on the money, as usual.
Same with black voters and hussein.
An exemplary American.
That simply is not so. Obama won the presidency in 2008 in a white dominiated culture. Holder was installed in a white dominated culture. If he goes down, it will be in a white dominated culture. But what is the point? Race has nothing to do with it!
