Video: Mia Love’s Immediate Response When CNN Hosts Try to Make Race Focal Point of the Conservative’s Election Victory

Conservative candidate Mia Love made history on Tuesday by becoming the first black female Republican elected to Congress. While it’s a major milestone, Love hit back against suggestions that her election victory was the result of her race or gender during a Wednesday CNN appearance.

CNN host John Berman asked Love a seemingly back-handed question aimed at Republicans regarding why it took so long for the party to elect a black woman. Love was clear that her campaign and victory had “nothing to do with race.”

“This has nothing do with race. Understand that Utahans have made a statement that they’re not interested in dividing Americans based on race or gender, that they want to make sure that they are electing people who are honest and who have integrity,” Love said. “That’s really what made history here. It’s that Race, gender, had nothing to do with it, principles had everything to do with it.”

Berman’s co-host, Michaela Pereira, then challenged Love on her point, saying people shouldn’t be divided on the basis of race, but everyone should have a “fair shot at getting a seat at the table.”

Love explained that “there are very few black residents” in Saratoga Springs and reiterated that she “wasn’t elected because of the color of my skin, I wasn’t elected because of my gender.”

“I was elected because of the solutions that I put at the table because I promised I would run a positive issues-oriented campaign and that’s what resonated,” she added.

Awesome. We need more and more like here, She is the holy water to the Vampire curse of Jesse Jackson and his gang

That has to kill CNN. They love making everything about race.

[Pooky 3,348]

It's the right message. Good for her.

[eieio 1,594]

Man those race dividers sure do hate trying to be nice to a black Republican.

Do you know she has all the people who make a living off race baiting scared to death. Can you imagine a whole group of blacks who being black is not their number one issue in this world. Imagine that. Hard workers who cooperate and don't make being black their number one issue, and all those mean racist old white men treat them just like everyone else. Imagine that

Of course being black she had to work harder than all the other Repubs, also same for being a woman.. What is that 3 X harder she had to work

Just the fact that she said it wasn't about race shows she's really not black. She is BISCO.

Let's see who can figure that one out.

She isn't black, she is Jamaican

[lostinblue 1,989]

She isn't black, she is Jamaican

That is going to hurt her..... She may have slave blood in her but it is not american slave blood ... That does not make her a true black person. ... She will not know what american slave blood does to hold black folks to to the plantation

When she spoke at the Republican National Convention last month, Mia Love, a GOP rising star who's vying to become the first black Republican woman elected to the House, wowed delegates with her parents' up-by-their-bootstraps tale. She said their story of coming to America from Haiti with $10 in their pockets formed the basis for her own belief in self-reliance and her staunch opposition to government handouts

[rlogan 2,036]

Good for her, and it is exactly why she was elected.

Where is our resident racist to tell her she "forgot where she came from" and other code-speak for an "Uncle Tom"?
