Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) in a statement provided to TheBlaze Tuesday defended a campaign email linking the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan.
“Regarding the image that the campaign circulated, members of the Tea Party have engaged in relentless racist attacks against our African-American President,” the statement reads.
“For example, when the President visited my home of Orlando, Tea Party protesters shouted ‘Kenyan Go Home.’ Other examples include Tea Party chants of ‘Bye Bye, Blackbird,’ and Tea Party posters saying ‘Obama’s Plan: White Slavery,’ ‘Imam Obama Wants to Ban Pork’ and ‘The Zoo Has An African Lion, and the White House Has a Lyin’ African,’” the statement adds.
The congressman’s office did not immediately respond to requests for documented examples of Tea Party leaders leading these chants. His office did, however, accuse the Tea Party of circulating images including the following:
Progressive Socialist/Fascist do not have a sense of humor -- Grayson is one of the most acidic nasty mouthed individuals in any Government on planet earth. VILE IS THE TERM.
Take his power away and he will retire . .
