Zinke - The only good Indian is an unemployed Indian.
“The distressing thing is that I had to find some white people to reassign so I could try to disguise the overt racism.”
So Zinke is calling the Senators’ recitation of facts “fake news,” every bit as accurately as when Dear Leader whines about “fake news.” Thanks Trump!
“…The reassignment of Native Americans was far out of proportion to their numbers at DOI, where they make up less than 10 percent of the workforce…”
I don’t throw around words like racist or bigot casually, but the proof is in the pudding and in the numbers.
And to think this man was a field grade Navy officer. This kind of person does not shed his bigotries when he/she gets appointed to some mgmt job.
I recall back in the days of the S&L takeovers, one man who took over the presidency of a large S&L in Calif, fired every single Hispanic on the payroll of which there were many. Every single one, almost immediately. They had few, or no blacks as I recall.
“The openings were false and misleading and blatantly untruthful,”
“I DIDN’T DO WHAT I DID!!!”
Classic Teabaggery
Native Americans . . . make up less than 10 percent of the workforce [at DOI].
According to the US Census Bureau the nation’s population of American Indians and Alaska Natives, including those of more than one race, made up about 2 percent of the total population in 2014.
It is obvious that Native Americans were over represented at the DOI and Zinke was simply doing what was necessary to restore proper balance to the oppressed white population.
Did this condescending asshole begin his tesimony by raising his hand and saying “How”?
Native Americans are employed by Dept. of Interior because its agencies work with Reservations.
It’s clearly unconstitutional to count minorities as a full person. The math is just all wrong.
Sometimes I just want to ask, “do you actually hear what you are saying??” But then remember that they are all so tone deaf that they wouldn’t understand what I mean.
Sometimes I think there is a negative correlation between money and people’s EQ — what i am not sure of is cause and effect.
OTOH, the DT cabal has shown a positive correlation between money and corruption and it is much easier to determine the cause and effect in that relationship.
Zinke response redux: go fuck yourselves!
If he’s anything like his boss, he reassigned all the hotties to himself and sent everyone not worthy of being grabbed by the pussy, to Alaska.
Zinke needs to go, now, . . . either to jail or as a defendant in a Federal Civil Rights action, or preferably both!
It is always someone else fault and they are lying…he starts that way whenever he is questioned about his actions
