VIDEO: Baylor Refuses Jeep After Dealer’s ‘Out of the Hood' Comment

by Leave a Comment

WACO, Texas — Baylor and coach Scott Drew have refused to accept a vehicle wrapped with the school’s national championship logo after an insensitive remark made by the dealership’s general manager when discussing it during a live TV interview.

The customized Jeep Wrangler was driven in the team’s championship parade through downtown Waco on Tuesday night, and was then going to be given to the school for Drew to use for the next year.

When talking about the vehicle with KWTX-TV before the parade started, Ted Teague, GM of the Allen Samuels dealership in Waco, said Drew could enjoy the Jeep and “use it to recruit, pull some people out of the hood.” Based on his own changed facial expression as the reporter started to ask another question, Teague knew immediately that the remark was inappropriate. He apologized on Wednesday.

Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades and Drew said in a joint statement Wednesday that they had spoken to Teague about what he said.

“His remarks do not align with our institutional values or the culture of our athletic programs. We can confirm we are not accepting the Jeep driven in the parade on Tuesday. As a department, we are committed to recruiting a diverse group of student-athletes, coaches, and staff, all of whom are valued members of our community,” the statement read.

The dealership had provided women’s coach Kim Mulkey a Corvette to use for a year after the Lady Bears won national championships in 2005, 2012 and 2019. The men won their first national title with an 86-70 win over previously undefeated Gonzaga on April 5.

Teague issued a statement of apology on Wednesday, asking for forgiveness and the opportunity to seek redemption. He said he misspoke in using the word “hood.”

“As the word came out of my mouth, I instantly knew it was the absolute wrong word,” Teague said in his statement. “I know that I disrespected a countless number of people within our amazing Waco community, and beyond. I am deeply disappointed and saddened by my actions and offer each of you my most sincere apologies.”

Rosanna Arquette: The 'R' in Republican Stands for 'Racist'

by Leave a Comment

Hollywood actress Rosanna Arquette is once again attempting to smear the Republican Party members as bigots, saying the ‘R’ stands for “racist.”

Rosanna Arquette tweeted her insult to the GOP on Wednesday. The Desperately Seeking Susan star also expressed support for screening potential police recruits for racism.

It remains unclear what prompted Arquette’s latest accusation against the GOP. The actress was one of many Hollywood stars who condemned Georgia’s new voter integrity law, which left-wing celebrities have decried as “racist” and a form of “voter suppression.”

In a tweet last month, Arquette called Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) a racist and a KKK member, using the hashtag #BrianKKKempIsRacist.

Arquette’s new accusation against the GOP comes a day after Hollywood director Rob Reiner claimed the Republican Party stands “for nothing except white nationalism.”

In March, Arquette claimed that “Nazi White supremacists” are hiding in plain sight in American institutions as “governors, people in Congress, our police force, military, in entertainment news.”

Last year, Arquette equated the GOP with “Nazi gestapo,” saying “they blindly follow their insane unhinged leader a commit crimes against humanity.” It remains unclear to what alleged crimes the actress was referring.

Republicans Launch New Jersey, Virginia Ad Campaign Hammering Cancel Culture

by Leave a Comment

The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) will launch a five-figure digital ad buy in New Jersey and Virginia this week, highlighting the detrimental effects of left-wing cancel culture on communities across the country.

A new digital ad, “Hardest Hit,” will highlight what the RSLC believes to be the “hypocrisy and self-defeating result of the Democrats’ cancel culture crusade.” The five-figure ad buy will run in multiple targeted districts in each state; according to their press release, this will be the first paid media initiative from the RSLC state ahead of their 2021 legislative elections.

The 30-second ad will emphasize Democrat lies about Georgia election integrity laws, which Democrats then used to pressure businesses to take action against the laws. Ultimately Major League Baseball (MLB) moved its 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta to Colorado. This decision will cause companies in the mostly minority community to lose roughly $100 million in revenue. The ad also points out how the left claims they are champions of the minority communities. The RSLC is trying to persuade New Jerseyans and Virginians to reject Democrats at the polls in November.

The transcript reads as:

NARRATOR: A great American pastime. The left took our game and weaponized it.

NEWS ANCHOR 1 (audio): Pulling its All Star Game out of the Atlanta Braves stadium

NEWS ANCHOR 2 (audio): The state could lose more than $100 million.

NEWS ANCHOR 3 (audio): Simply crushing.

NARRATOR: Who was hardest hit? The concession stand worker planning on overtime. The hotel staff expecting full capacity. The small businesses doing everything they can to survive a pandemic. We must end the cancel culture madness. The left cancelled our jobs. They are coming for yours next.

“Democrats claim to be the ultimate defenders of minority communities, but their willingness to trample on Atlanta’s economy to advance their partisan political agenda shows their true colors,” RSLC President Dee Duncan said, adding that, “now that the woke cancel culture mob knows it can get its way by peddling lies and threatening the economic well-being of anyone that disagrees with them, there is no telling whose livelihood will be next.”

Duncan said voters in states where the ad will be running “were watching what happened in Georgia and know that state Republicans are their only line of defense against the Democrats’ cancel culture hypocrisy.”

Stacey Abrams Group Urges Hollywood: Don't Boycott Georgia, 'Stay and Fight'

by Leave a Comment

Fair Fight, the leftist voter organization founded by Stacy Abrams’, is scrambling to stop film studios and TV production firms from leaving Georgia in protest over the state’s new election integrity law, pleading with Hollywood to instead “stay and fight.”

“Brian Kemp and Georgia Republican lawmakers are singularly responsible for any job that is lost and any dollar that goes out of Georgia, because they prioritized suppressing voters of color over the economic well-being of all Georgians,” Seth Bringman, spokesman for Stacy Abram’s Fair Fight Action, told Newsweek.

Fair Fight, founded by Stacey Abrams, came out against studios halting production in the Peach State just as Hollywood star Will Smith pulled production of his slave drama Emancipation out of Georgia.

“We urge events, productions, and businesses to come to Georgia and support the very communities that will whose access to the ballot will be hurt by Senate Bill 202. Come to Georgia and speak out against voter suppression. Stay and fight,” the Fair Fight statement added.

Hollywood productions in Georgia account for nearly $10 billion in revenue to the state. Abrams has taken harsh criticism for joining attacks on the law and for siding with companies calling for boycotts of her own state. Major League Baseball pulled the All-star game, and there’s a growing fear that other groups or filming firms could flee the state and left-wing groups and Democrats could be blamed for the resulting lose of jobs should Hollywood begin a mass exodus of the state.

Will Smith and his partners pulled out of Georgia this week. In a statement, Smith and director Antoine Fuqua insisted that “in good conscience” they cannot continue production in the Peach State.

“The new Georgia voting laws are reminiscent of voting impediments that were passed at the end of Reconstruction to prevent many Americans from voting. Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state,” Smith and Fuqua said.

Film mogul Tyler Perry, a native of Atlanta, is also speaking out against Georgia’s election law, claiming that the laws “harken back to the Jim Crow era.”

The left has continuously mischaracterized Georgia’s election integrity law, calling it a “voter suppression” law or claiming it is a “restrictive” law that affects only minority voters. Early this month, Heritage Action debunked six of the main myths the left is pushing about the state’s new law.

Contrary to the left’s claims, the bill expands ballot access, mandates drop boxes, adds online absentee ballot requests, and increases weekend and early voting. Another accusation the left has pushed claims that the bill bans water being offered to voters standing in line to vote. But in fact, the bill expressly provides that water and snacks cannot be denied to voters waiting in line to vote.

Hindu Organization Invites Hank Azaria to Meet and Discuss Apu Guilt

by Leave a Comment

Hank Azaria, the white actor who voiced The Simpsons‘ long-running Indian character, Apu, has been invited to meet with the Hindu American Foundation over his guilt for having voiced the cartoon character.

Hindu American Foundation representative Shereen Bhalla told TMZ that Azaria is invited to meet with the organization and that the staff would love to sit down with him to discuss Indian people’s lived experiences, and his guilt over being the voice actor for Apu.

Bhalla believes that the actor meeting with the organization will help the actor with the learning he seems to want at this point.

In a recent interview on the Armchair Expert podcast with hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman, Azaria said that he believes Apu is “practically a slur at this point,” and he feels the need “to go to every single Indian person in this country and personally apologize” for his “participation in racism.”

According to TMZ, the Hindu American Foundation expressed that it does not believe Azaria — who is worried about “cancel culture” — should be punished for his so-called participation in “racism.”

The group feels that and the actor is genuinely sorry, and willing to educate himself on the issue — and the Hindu American Foundation would love to help.

Therefore, the organization is offering Azaria a third-party facilitated dialogue with Indians across the country, adding that it is up to him whether or not he would like to be on or off the record.

The Hindu American Foundation also has a podcast called “That’s So Hindu” and desires to have the actor on as a guest.

Azaria had stepped down from voicing Apu last year, more than two years after accusations of racism marred the long-running animated series.

But while the actor frets about his past participation on The Simpsons, the show’s creator Matt Groening said he doesn’t really care about the “chasm of criticism” that his praise for the Indian character might bring, and that despite the woke whiplash, producers still have “ambitious” plans for more stories featuring Apu.
