Does the POTUS play the race card too often?
When Attorney General Eric Holder pointed to racism in the White House as the answer to the question, “What president has ever had to deal with that kind of treatment?” Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough shot claims of racism in the White House down, saying that the President and the Attorney General were simply playing the “race card.”
According to him, Washington is just “a tough place to work” and that Bill Clinton, Janet Reno and Richard Nixon all had to deal with worse from their political opponents. He made no response when commentators pointed out that he was making those statements from an all-white news panel.
