How, exactly, does that end up in the arsenal of vernacular that someone uses in their toolkit?
Maybe he meant "people of color" which is perfectly acceptable. It's sad when a slip of this nature is news. Then again this is xuen so it's expected. Still not discussion worthy.
Word on the street is that the guy has big big hands ...better now
So some nobody with no kind of influence or power says something dumb and you consider that news? That is a complete non-story.

It was Democrats who forced the resignation not Republicans.

“Called upon” him to resign. He could have stuck it out.

He tried for months. This happened at the end of January. The furor just got stronger to the point his wife (a chair) called on him to resign.

It's a phrase that people can (and obviously did) take offense by.
Remember drivers Ed? Remember defensive driving?
Well, now we have "defensive speaking". Free speech, the ability (and often the opportunity) to offend, is dead.
