Anti-Japanese politics in Minnesota
Mike Osskopp, the district office director for Minnesota Representative John Kline, seems a bit anti-Japanese, don’t you think?
Osskopp, for some strange reason went bezerk at a rally for Kline’s Democratic opponent, Coleen Rowley — and ended up being captured on film yelling “another Jap car…your buddies are supporting all these Jap and German cars” as Rowley supporters drove into the event. We’re not really sure where he was going with the comments, other than to say Rowley supporters don’t support American car companies. The Harley-Davidson-owning Osskopp must have decided he’d stand up for US automakers’ honor, attacking their competition with a racial-tinged blitzkreig of blabber.
The article has also posted a video of the remark, which I am unable to view as I am updating for work. Check it out.
