allegations, let s go for the facts. even if it came in ways we didn t like we did not protest it we moved on to whatever other options were there to move on. that s right. but all of this name-calling and minions, and all that document what you re saying. if there s racism in the jut department? where? who? what is the allegation? let s look into it lieutenant governor. that s where i am. hope maybe the committee on government reform will look for the racism and maybe bring the lieutenant governor here as a witness. we need to wipe this stuff out. if it s in the department of justice, let s clean it up,ened the lieutenant governor ought to lead us in this great crusade. and we ve invited him on the show to come any day he warrants this week. he can again do all the talking. we just want the facts, not just the name-calling. congressman cleaver, thank you for your time tonight. good to be with us reverend.
