Maryland Democrat Rep. David Trone Uses Racial Slur

[volsrock]

Maryland Democrat Senate frontrunner Rep. David Trone has apologized for using a racial slur during a House meeting, claiming he simply misspoke.


Trone, a member of Congress since 2019, was talking about tax policies with Office of Budget and Management Director Shalanda Young — a black woman — when he uttered the word: “jigaboo.”

If this were a Republican who did this to a Democrat staffer, it would be a major national news story

That's interesting.

If he were Republican, he’d be forced to resign tonight. Since he’s a Democrat, it I am sorry and all gets swept out of the rug.

No if he were a Republican he'd be a headlining speaker at CPAC.

They read only far right gnus.

But he's not a Republican. Duh!

I'm in Maryland, and the rich white racist Trone is running for U.S. Senate. He has been swamping the airwaves with ads making the same empty promises to Blacks as democrats have done the last 60 years, ... and pushing firearm bans for law abiding citizens.

 

[Nordberg]

He made a mistake saying jigaboo instead of bugaboo. He meant nothing racial about it. He was not calling anyone a jigaboo.No racism was involved.

I use racial and ethnic slurs all the time, unfortunately.

Just say what you want to say and then, if necessary, apologize later.

It's healthier than holding it all in.
