Link is an archive of the Detroit Metro Times article. Gfaqs kept telling me I was bypassing the censor for 'shit' in the original address so I had to archive it.

More in the article but the gist of it:

The allegations against Scott are detailed below.

In the early morning at Bethany Lutheran Church in Detroit, Rep. Scott called one of Rep. Stephanie Changs campaign volunteers an immigrant, saying you dont belong here and I want you out of my country.

Later on in the day, Rep. Scott was talking to a voter and said these immigrants from China are coming over and taking our community from us. Further, she said it disgusts her seeing black people holding signs for these Asians and not supporting their own people.

In the early evening at East English Village Preparatory Academy, Rep. Scott approached another campaigns volunteer and told her not to vote for the ching-chang, apparently referring to Rep. Chang. She was overheard telling multiple voters Vote for me. Dont vote for the ching-chong! She also told Rep. Changs campaign staff that she called Changs volunteers ching-chongs, saying I called them ching-chongs. Thats what they are!

Since you're turning this into Republicans vs Democrats... when was the last time a Republican politician hurled an equivalent of this to their political opponent? That is no denial. I'm sure it's happened.

But I do this.

Had voters picked her, you could say this was representative of Democrats, but much like Nehlen, she was kicked to the curb. So what does her behavior matter now? We can say she's scum, but it doesn't mean anything else.

No one's demanding that you care. If you don't care I'm puzzled why you'd go out of your way to be so contrary and defensive.

Simply by posting a matter-of-fact news article I'm apparently causing some to pull their hair out over it. It's rather bizarre.

Because he's trying to push an agenda, he doesn't really care, just using it as ammo for his side.

With that said this bitch should be thrown out and shamed.

You misunderstand me. I think less energy should be focused on these has beens and more on the people who actually were picked.

Take Ellison for example. His misdeeds actively reflect on the Democratic Party as he won the primary. This bitch? Not so much.

If their misdeeds were actually allowed to be called out in the first place, it wouldn't be an issue at all - Ellison's blatant anti-Semitism has been defended and handwaved away for YEARS by Dems, just as this person's racism is now, because Dems don't actually want to deal with these problems.

They just want to use the other side's infractions as ammo.

Let's not pretend for one second that's exclusive to one side. I don't think anyone is handwaving this woman's racism away. She lost (only 11 percent wanted her anyways) and if she ever tries to run again, this should be shouted from the rooftops

Yeah, the current climate is divided into Trump supporters and everyone else for the most part. I get called a liberal too, despite my supporting the death penalty, unrestricted second amendment, and free market capitalism with just enough regulations to keep the playing ground (somewhat) fair.

You're ignoring those same people have denounced her because it hurts your narrative. It's totally obvious what you're doing lol.

Anyway, let's compare her and Nehlen

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/election-results/michigan-primary-election-results-for-state-senate-district-1-on-aug-7-2018

Stephanie Chang - 16,422 - 49%
Alberta Talabi - 8,697 - 26%
Bettie Scott D3,697 - 11%
James Cole Jr. D -1,712 - 5%
Stephanie Roehm -1,463 - 4%
Nicholas Rivera - 939 - 2%

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/14/us/elections/results-wisconsin-primary-elections

Bryan Steil - 30,883 - 51.6%
Nick Polce - 8,945 - 14.9%
Paul Nehlen - 6,635 - 11.1%
Kevin Steen - 6,262 - 10.5%
Jeremy Ryan - 6,221 - 10.4%
Brad Boivin - 924 -1.5%

So does this mean our claims that you guys are ignoring white supremacists in your party?

I've never heard of that being a racial slur. Anyone and everyone can be called a dog. He insulted her because of her nasty behavior, her slandering.

If those other guys have hurled racial slurs at their political opponents, then you'd be right. And I'm not denying they haven't. I'm not aware of it so you could inform me if you want.

Paul Nehlen is an unabashed anti Semitic white nationalist who recently appeared on David Duke's radio show. He got 6,000 votes in the last primary and in 2016 got 10,000 when he was endorsed by both Laura Ingraham and Sarah Palin.

Democrats - the party that push for policies that harm minorities under the guise of "helping them", while justifying it with the claims that "minorities can't succeed the same way whites do without extra help and that's why giving them this special treatment is justified" - are racist?
