Conservative
radio host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday used racially charged language to hint out
that Democrats would punish black voters for leaving the liberal “plantation.”
During the
weekend, African-American pastor Corey Brooks blamed the robbery of his church
on his support Republican Illinois gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner.
On Laura’s Tuesday
radio show, she noted that President Barack Obama had campaigned for Rauner’s
opponent, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn.
The radio host
also stated that Brooks had been blasted as an “Uncle Tom” in an anonymous voicemail
that he received.
“Look at what
they did to Col. Allen West, look at what they did to Justice Clarence Thomas
or tried to do,” Ingraham said. “This is what they do!”
“You can’t get
off the plantation! It is their sole province for maintaining control of the
black population,” she continued. “You must be liberal, you must be for certain
policies that Al Sharpton and Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid
favor.”
“You can’t
waiver because if you think for yourself, you are as that [voicemail] said, a
sell-out.”
