Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Milwaukee, Wisconsin blasted
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s support for Voter ID, drug testing for
welfare recipients, as well as his opposition to minimum wage hikes as proof
that Walker is hurting black people.
Rep. Moore then played
the race card, claiming that Walker’s polices are “tightening the noose,
literally, around African-Americans.” Just Vice President Joe Biden told
African-Americans that Mitt Romney was “going to put y’all back in chains”,
Moore’s race-baiting rhetoric was a desperate smear against an egalitarian and respectable
Republican governor.

The truth is that Moore’s liberal adherence to those failed
Democratic points, and even the advance of those failed policies, hurt all
Americans, particularly minorities. Minimum
wage hikes have forced out entry level workers while closing down
businesses and forcing up prices. Voter ID laws do not discriminate against
African-Americans, but ensure the integrity of every man’s vote. An
African-American lawmaker in Rhode Island, Raymond Hall, advanced Voter ID in
that most Democratic state in the union, and black religious leaders in
Southern California as well as throughout the country support Voter ID. As for
drug testing for welfare recipients, Moore should consider that mostly white
people are on welfare. For her to assume that African-Americans are
disproportionately affected in itself exposes how much of a “stereotypical politician”
(and racist?) she is.
Moore has battled Walker on many fronts, including her
opposition to his Act 10 reforms, and lost. She lost this fight too, and should
apologize for her abusive, offensive comments.
