Jack Kingston: “But when we think about what happened to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers) when he was looking at California vote…”

On the recordMay 12, 1998
But when we think about what happened to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers) when he was looking at California vote fraud, he and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ney), the cochair, leading people on that committee were accused of racism even though both Republicans have Hispanics in their immediate family, the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers), three Hispanic grandchildren, but he was called a racist by many, many Democrats. I think that we have gotten into this habit of, if you do not like the content of the debate, attack the person.
