Missouri Lt. Gov.: ‘More Racism’ in DOJ than Around Ferguson

Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder said yesterday that there is more racism going on in the Department of Justice than in Ferguson and the surrounding area. Kinder spoke with Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg about the DOJ report on racially-motivated policing and the Obama administration involvement in the case.

Kinder railed against President Obama and Eric Holder for being liberal radicals going out of their way to meddle in Ferguson.

Malzberg asked Kinder, “In your opinion, is there more racism in the Justice Department than there is in the town of Ferguson and in the police department?”

Kinder responded, “There is more racism in the Justice Department than there is in… anywhere I see in the St. Louis area.” He talked up racial progress in the area and again swiped at Holder and Obama for being so “obsessed with race.”
