State Senator Says Texas Dem Has a ‘Problem’ With African Americans

WFB: A Texas state senator will not back Democratic Senate candidate M.J. Hegar, saying she has a “problem” with African Americans, the Austin American-Statesman reported Friday.

“[Hegar has] had a problem all along with black folks, I mean realistically, a real problem,” said state senator Royce West. “She has never reached out … I’m not voting for her; I’m not voting in that race.”

West challenged Hegar during the Democratic primary and lost by a narrow margin during a July runoff election. Hegar had the support of prominent national Democrats, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), which some say may have been the deciding factor in the race. read more
