Senator John Cornyn Also Blasts The "Double Standard" After Reid "No Negro Dialect" Comment

The Washington Times reports that "Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican and chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in a statement that Mr. Reid should step down, calling his comments 'embarrassing and racially insensitive.'"

"It's difficult to see this situation as anything other than a clear double standard on the part of Senate Democrats and others," Mr. Cornyn said.

Senator John Cornyn has reason to condemn this "clear double standard" and demand Reid's resignation. Cornyn knows full well that if he ever became Senate Majority Leader and had made a racial comment such as the one made by Reid, Al Sharpton and the NAACP, along with the Democratic party, would not be rushing to defend him as they are Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He knows that if today's Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell had made the same comments as Reid all hell would have broken loose. He knows full well that Senator Trent Lott was pressured to resign from his post as leader when he made comments that were construed as racial remarks as well. Tweet
