Are you a geographical bigot, Walter?

Of course you are, a racist too.

I would be a political bigot. I just do not like Neo-Nazis.

Come on man, Walt isn't a geographical bigot. What a horrible thing to say. He's a garden variety run of the mill bigot.

Even Neo-Nazis don't like Neo-Nazis.

Indeed.

He doesn’t like Louisiana either.

That's true. And if you count only US Citizens it's one of the lowest in the world.

Is it true?

Treating black women who lost an infant at birth like people who don't count? Yes, that's what the man said.

He's disgusting. He wants to treat black infants' deaths like they were animals, not humans to be counted.

Got a quote of him saying that?

It's that what he said? Got a quote?

You can't seriously think he made a good argument for the poor birth rate. Women are women, births are births. They all count, yet he dismisses the black infant deaths as only something that made the mortality rates look bad in his state.

It's that what he said? Got a quote?

"Maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count Black women," GOP senator says​

How about he just acknowledge that his state has a bad infant mortality rate, without bringing race into it. He wasn't asked for a breakdown of the statistics based on race, maternal age or any other standard.

That's not at all what you claimed he said. Are you debunking yourself?

Are you obfuscating because you know the man made a racist comment?
