Niger Innis, Now A Republican Candidate, Wants You To Know Cliven Bundy Isn’t Racist

Niger Innis is now running for Congress in Nevada, in the same district where Cliven Bundy’s Ranch exists. The son of CORE National Chairman Roy Innis embraced Bundy who was at an Innis event.

“This is the game the media is going to play with us to distract from the real issue, which is that the federal government has too much control over Nevada’s land,” Innis said. “They will try to distract, with the firestorm that Cliven started by using the r-word, the racism word.”

“I can only tell you my experience with the Bundys,” he continued. “Having eaten with them and broken bread with them and I don’t consider Cliven or his wonderful family racist at all. Period, end of story.”

The right’s vociferous support of Bundy mostly fizzled after he was recorded talking about “the Negro,” and wondering whether they were “better off as slaves.”
