GOP congressman: 'I'm a person of color. I'm white.'
Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., explained his vote against Tuesday's House resolution condemning President Trump's tweet that suggested four Democratic congresswomen of color “go back” to their home countries by saying he is “a person of color.”
“You know, they talk about people of color,” Kelly told a Vice News reporter before the vote. “I’m a person of color. I’m white. I’m an Anglo Saxon. People say things all the time, but I don’t get offended.”
“He does not offend me,” Kelly said of Trump. “Are some people offended? I’m sure. But there’s people offended no matter what he says. If he says ‘good morning,’ they’re unhappy about it.”
“We’re all created equal,” the statement said. “It’s time to stop fixating on our differences and focus on what unites us.”
