Lawmakers blast North Platte Sen. Groene for ‘racist’ comments during debate — A handful of state lawmakers criticized Sen. Mike Groene on Thursday for what they said was an offensive comment made by the North Platte senator on Wednesday. — During floor debate, Groene inadvertently called Sen. Mike Flood of Norfolk, owner of a broadcasting company, a “media Mongol,” instead of a “media mogul.”
Brought to his attention later, Groene said of Flood: “I think he’s got mixed heritage, so that qualifies him as a ... mongrel and he’s aggressive so that does qualify him sometimes as a Mongol.”
On Thursday, Lincoln Sen. Matt Hansen said Groene’s comments had prompted several “deeply offended and deeply impacted” constituents in his northeast Lincoln district to contact his office and ask him to address it on the floor.
And from the "Uh-Mur-Ka: Love It Or Shove It" chorus, the usual whining about The Truth That Must Be Denied.
