STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN WM. LACY CLAY (D) MISSOURI REGARDING RACIALLY INTOLERANT
AND INSULTING INCIDENT DIRECTED AT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AT THE MISSOURI STATE FAIR
 

ST. LOUIS, MO – The following is a first-person statement from Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri in reaction to the racially intolerant and insulting incident directed at President Obama this past Saturday night at the Missouri State Fair, in Sedalia, MO.

“I am amazed that in 2013, such hatred, intolerance and disrespect towards the President of the United States could take place at the Missouri State Fair.

Our fair is supposed to showcase the best of Missouri, instead, it showed an ugly face of intolerance and ignorance to the world.”
