When will Claire McCaskill Apologize?

Here is what Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill had to say to Anderson Cooper about the incident where the woman with the Rosa Parks poster was escorted out forcefully by the police after a teabagger snatched it and tore it up.




Here is what actually happened along with a contrast in what happened to some white attendees who were holding their own signs.





I just want to know at what point will Senator McCaskill apologize to those women who were thrown out, to Representative Scott for calling him irresponsible and to all of us for the way she tried to dismiss the claims of racism so flippantly?

And if she doesn't, at what point do we start looking for a progressive alternative in a Democratic primary against her in a few years? She doesn't seem to understand that she is now representing a blue state anyway. It might be time to put a real Democrat from Missouri in office.

  1. Man, it's totally disgusting the way the quiet black women were treated. What's happening to Americans?
