Another Racist F***ing Republican Reptile Gets Foot-in-Mouth Disease

Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins: GOP is searching for "great white hope"

The spokesman for Kansas Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins is apologizing today for remarks the congresswoman made during a recent forum in Hiawatha, Kan.

"Republicans are struggling right now to find the great white hope," Jenkins said to the crowd. "I suggest to any of you who are concerned about that, who are Republican, there are some great young Republican minds in Washington."

Jenkins identified several Republicans -- Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin -- as future movers and shakers.

All are white.

Oh sure, you say it was taken out of context. We at theGOPisDEAD believe that may be true, but come the f*** on...! That phrase carries weight motherf***ers.

The phrase "great white hope" often is associated with pre-civil rights-era racism and is widely believed to have entered usage in the U.S. when boxer Jack Johnson, who was black, captured the heavyweight title in the early 20th century. Many whites reacted to Johnson's achievement by trying to find white fighters — or a "great white hope" — who could beat him. Sphere: Related Content
