Sen. Joe Donnelly (Ind.), a conservative Democrat in one of the tightest reelection battles in the country, made a cringeworthy and puzzling statement about some minorities on his staff during a debate Tuesday night. To begin, here’s a quick vocab refresher. The definition of the word “but,” according to Google, is “to introduce something contrasting with what has already been mentioned."
So it was strange when Donnelly, in what seemed like a genuine effort to compliment his aides, said this when asked how he would bring diversity into his staffing: “Our state director is Indian American, but he does an amazing job. Our director of all constituent services, she’s African American, but she does an even more incredible job than you could ever imagine.”
Mr. Senator, but, what?

This wonderful cleaning man, Kenneth, became a very important influence in my life.
Why is that?
***
My father had committed suicide in 1961, having jumped off a bridge. It was a very hurtful experience for me as I was a thirteen year old boy. Kenneth became the fine male influence in my life at that time.

Kenneth was a black/Negro, BUT, he cleaned thoroughly. /s

My wife and I eloped in 1973. We hid our marriage certificate under a chair cushion in my grandmother's living room. When my wife and I next looked for the certificate, Kenneth had put on top of the certificate a greeting card under that cushion!
Kenneth was a black/Negro cleaning man, “BUT” he cleaned thoroughly. /s
This should say, a traditional racist Democrat. Shameful to say he is conservative because his racist views are not conservative.
A LIE from FAKE NEWS WAPO...................NO SUCH THING AS A 'conservative Democrat'...............
But . . . are they clean and articulate?
Wait, this made the WaPo?!?! Someone is getting canned
She has syphilis, but she’s still a good lay.
Joe Donnelly made a career ending statement, BUT, he’s a Democrat so it won’t cost him anything.

LOL Maybe frozen
And they all look alike, too.
Mostly proof that Donelly is inarticulate.
But, do they all look alike? Heh, heh.
You don’t have to peel the mask very far back on any Democrat politician to uncover the racist.
Can’t wait to see him kicked out on Nov.6. MSM trying to give Democrats false hope of retaking the Senate so they are propping him up with fake polls. Still saying that Beto can win in Texas! Nothing from ND though! MSM will make big push right through Monday to get Democrats to the polls with the hope of winning the Senate.

What are you saying? ... That you are stupid, or you also can't spell?
“Clean” like Obama? Wow.
Let me translate Donnelly. “You may think that my black and Indian staffers were affirmative action hires, but you would be surprised to learn that these individuals are actually qualified, unlike many others you’ll find around Washington.”
Say it like you mean it, Joe!
A conservative Democrat is only as far to the Left as LBJ.
A right of center moderate Democrat is a McGovernite.
A Left of center Democrat is Bernie Sanders.
The Left mostly no longer recognizes that there’s a far Left wing because they’re already there.
It is most likely a “misspeak” mind you I voted for Braun already. The thing that gets me here is the “polls” show Donnelly ahead, that’s not what I am seeing and hearing around Southern Indiana. Mike is from Jasper, about 30 miles north of us.
