  Speaker 3: goes the congressman David Throne. Okay, he is a Maryland congressman,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: a Democrat running for Senate, and he recently apologized for
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: his use of a racial slur during a budget hearing.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Now, let me set this up for you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: During the hearing, David Throne was discussing corporate tax rates
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: and their impact on business, and somehow that led him
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: to use a racial slur.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Would you like to hear it?
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Go? Could you do it better than the other competitor?
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: And with that, could you create a P and L?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Stay with it works? So this Republican jigaboo, that's you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: it's a tax rate that's stopping this investment. It's just
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: completely faulty. My people have never run a business.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Now I haven't heard this racial slur in a long time. Okay,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: this is a throwback. I don't think I've ever heard
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: this racial slur I actually used in real life to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: be honest with you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: David thrown at sixty eight years old, though born in nineteen.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty five, nine years before the civil rights
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: back in nineteen sixty four was implemented, so he had
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: nine years of segregation. By nine he was probably fully
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: equipped with all the black slurs coune, monkey, colored, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: N word, and jigaboo Jesus. Okay, you got to understand,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: if you grew up when discriminatory practices was still in
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: place and there were segregation in public places, you definitely
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: use some of those slurs as a white man in
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: There's actually a phrase called a phasia where you think
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: one word would say another.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: You ever heard that avenue? Yes, you think one word,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: but you say another.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: So in this case, David thrones that he intended to
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: use the word bugaboo. I don't understand the context of
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: either in a budget hearing. Okay, I don't know why jigaboo, buggaboo,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: my boo, Acon's brother boo boo from a goods boo
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: with you. I don't know why any boo would be
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: used in the budgeteering, unless, of course, one of these
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: elected officials is getting booed for using a racial slur.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Now David Throne did apologize. Let's go to the news
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: report to hear what he had to say and developing.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Now, Maryland Congressman David Throne has apologized for making a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: racial slur he made jourin a House Budget committee hearing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: In all honesty, I'm actually not surprised.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Brandon Brooks of Prince George's County says Maryland sent to Kennedy,
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: David Thron's use of a racist word in Congress Thursday
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: is no big shock.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I've observed other situations where derogatory languages such as that
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: is used freely in a white household, Caucasian household. Is
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: no accountability because he keeps happening.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: White feel comfortable using this type of terminology and thinking
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: that it's okay because that's the playbook that Trump is using.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Trone declined and interview requests, but in a statement he
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: says that the attempted to use.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: The word boogaboo.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: But quote, I used a phrase that is offensive and
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: that has a long, dark terror history and should have
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: never been used in any conversation.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Well, the Democrats are using a Trump's playbook of racial slurs,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and I guess, I guess we're doomed. Listening to that
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: news report, I'm even more confused. I still don't know
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: why he would be quoting Beyonce, Kelly and Michelle in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: a Senate hearing. I don't see where there was room
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: for bugaboo. Definitely wasn't no room for jigaboo. David also
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: acknowledged his privilege as a white man and an elected official,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: recognizing his responsibility for the words he uses.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Particularly in moments of intensity.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Moments of intensity, that is an accurate phrase because I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: was always told to pay attention to what people say
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: out of anger, because they've been dying to tell you that. Okay,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: David Throne been wanting to call someone at jigaboo for
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: a long time now. I looked up the definition of jigaboo.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: All it means, from what I could find is it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: just used as an insult and contemptuous term for a
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: black person.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So this isn't one of those times you can blame
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: this on the Republicans, because this man, David Thrown, is
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: a Democrat, and you know, y'all want to always show
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: us the difference between Democrats and Republicans. But at the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: end of the day, the day gonna end with one
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: of these white men, regardless of party, calling you something
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you don't want to be called. Please let Chelsea handle it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Give David Thrown the biggest he.
