Lewis said protesters used the n-word as he walked to the Capitol during the weekend healthcare debate that led to the bill’s final passage. Conservative commentators and Bachmann have questioned whether the racial insults actually took place.
“I think it undermines the credibility of somebody who’s a denier. People denied a lot of things happened, bad things that happened,” Hoyer said Tuesday at a press conference.
“I don't think there's any doubt that what John Lewis said happened and what others saw and heard happen did, in fact, happen. That's why I think the credibility of that assertion is questionable.”
Hoyer urged a return to civility following the emotional healthcare debate, and continued to sound warnings about overly heated rhetoric from public officials.
“There are obviously clearly differences of opinion in the country and among members of Congress and the parties, but the debate ought to be civil, it ought to be constructive and ought to be designed to educate the public, not incite the public,” Hoyer said before taking questions at his weekly meeting with reporters.

Desperation from the lack of current racism. Must keep the race card alive so he had to lie. I am just glad the American public has had enough of the farce.
ReplyDeleteAn elected US Congressman crying the boohoos because he thinks someone called him a name. Gro up and stop acting like a little baby. Uh-oh, I think I just used a geriatric slur on him. Time for more pouting.
ReplyDeleteI wish you Congressmen and Senators could comprehend what the American people really think about you.
Despiter the fact that here were 50,00 cameras and recorders surrounding teh whole event, nobody can produce a recording of the claimed racial comment.
ReplyDeleteSteny, you're a damn liar!
Vote Charles Lollar Southern Maryland!
ReplyDeleteIt was known long ago that Hoyer is nothing more than a buffoon. As for Lewis, he must have bat ears because he heard things that no one else heard or no device recorded. Out of curiosity, I'd love to hear Lewis admit how many times he's used the race card and how many times he's said, whitey, honky, cracker, etc. in his life.
ReplyDeleteHoyer is a jerk. Nuff said!
