Black Dem Rep. Emanuel Cleaver Backs Off Claim He Was Spat Upon by Protesters

Weasel Zippers blog has the skinny on Congressman Emanuel Cleaver’s tap dancing backwards as to his false claim that a Protester spit in his face.

As I have written here on TLT numerous times, Democrat pols, Black and White, purposely make false racially tinged claims because they know that Blacks will believe it on face value and thus continuing the mythical history that the Democrat party are the saviors and protectors of African Americans interests even though the reality was that Democrats were the original enslavers of Black people, and even though it was the Democrats who filibustered Civil Rights legislation.

Weasel Zippers reports:

KANSAS CITY, MO- U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver voted in favor of the controversial health care reform bill, but talk isn't raging about how voted, but whether or not he was purposely spit on as he and other congressmen made their way to the U.S. Capitol building to cast their vote.

In video of the incident, a man is seen with his hands around his mouth and yelling at the Kansas City, Missouri, Democrat as he walked by. The footage shows Rep. Cleaver reacting to the man,and is seen a few seconds later wiping his face.

The video is not clear as to whether or not the man spit in Cleaver's face intentionally, or if it was a matter of "say it, don't spray it." Rep. Cleaver never commented on the incident, but it didn't take long before many people claimed that he was spit upon.

In an interview on Tuesday with FOX 4 News, Rep. Cleaver would not directly answer the question of whether or not he was intentionally spit upon.

"I haven't talked about this incident on TV or anywhere, and I've been approached to talk about it on every national TV show," said Rep. Cleaver in an interview with FOX 4 News. "I never, I never reported anything, never a single thing in Washington, not one thing. People assume I went somewhere, never done press conference, never done an interview on it and I'm not going to do it."
