A Democrat congressman running for Senate was caught on live TV uttering an ugly racial slur during a Thursday House Budget Committee hearing while talking to a prominent black government official.
As Fox News reported, Rep. David Trone (D-MD) was taking a shot at Republican economic policy when he dropped the offensive term right in front of Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Budget and Management, who was testifying before the committee.
“So this Republican jigaboo that — it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business,” Trone said. “They’ve never been there. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.”
