He blew it twice actually, saying "Welcome to America," assuming this American was not American because of his skin color.
Come on, guys, it's rule No. 1 that we only use the code words when we talk in public about the "central issue." I'm pretty sure we can overcome this PR blunder with our guys in the editorial pages, radio and Fox. We need to seriously consider whether Allen should be allowed to be a presidential nominee if he can't keep his language in check.
Keep the faith. God will help us prevail.
