Stay classy, Illinois Republicans!
A county Republican Party chairman in central Illinois called a black female congressional candidate the “love child” of the Democratic party; a “street walker” whose “pimps” are party leaders; and suggested that after the election, she will be “working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires.”
And it’s a Republican candidate he’s talking about.
Montgomery County GOP Chairman Jim Allen wrote the comments in an email to a Republican website, regarding Erika Harold. She is the former Miss America and Harvard Law grad who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 13th Congressional District, which stretches from Champaign to the Metro East.
It’s worth noting Jim Allen is a supporter of incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, having been listed on Davis’ campaign website as a supporter until just after Allen’s racist, sexist remarks.
This whole rant he did, is exactly why it’s so damn laughable Republicans trying to get minority voters to their side.
