Video: New Twist to Andre Carson's Outrageous Comments about Tea Party

When Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) spoke at a town hall on August 22nd, he egregiously said that the Tea Party wants to see blacks 'hanging from a tree.' To this point, some have referred to a specific portion of his comments as 'unintelligible.' He can be heard saying, 'I'm sorry........" We now know what he said. He said, 'I'm sorry, Tamaron.' Who is Tamaron? That would be MSNBC host and moderator of the town hall, Tamaron Hall. Two things make this revelation significant. First, Hall never reported what Carson said and second, Carson obviously knew he was going to put Hall in a bad spot by saying it.

Here's the video of Carson's rant via The Blaze:



Now NewsBusters is reporting on another NBC employee who was in attendance. Joy-Ann Reid is not just an NBC employee, though. She's also a former aide to Barack Obama:

In addition to Hall, the RealMReynolds blog on Wednesday pointed out that Reid, the anchor's colleague in the NBC family (as managing editor for TheGrio.com), live-Tweeted the CBC town hall. The former Obama 2008 campaign press aide, who bashed Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann as "crazy" and "loopy" earlier in August, and defended Newsweek's "queen of rage" cover of the Indiana congresswoman, actually highlighted Rep. Carson's lynching attack against the Tea Party in a Tweet (while admitting she didn't know his name), but neglected to mention it in her report on TheGrio.com.

Hall never reported on Carson's comments and neither did Reid. Obama has not uttered a peep with regard to denouncing the comments. It's pretty safe to say that the Obama administration is controlling the message coming out of MSNBC and NBC.

For the record, Carson is one of two Muslims in the US Congress with the other being Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). Both are Democrats, both are members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and both have been registered members of the Democratic Socialists of America caucus.

What a disgrace.
