A woman identified as the mother-in-law of Citizens United Foundation head Dave Bossie was cheered for disparaging remarks about immigrants during the South Carolina Freedom Summit on Saturday, the Huffington Post reported.
The woman was asked to speak during a focus group conducted by Republican pollster Frank Luntz. Footage of the event shows Luntz joking that Bossie told him he would kick [his] butt if he ended the session without asking her what advice she would give GOP presidential candidates in the 2016 election.
One man, one vote. People are comin in this country across the borders like rats and roaches in the wood pile, she says, drawing applause. Weve got a state like Minnesota that says its not our business to check em out, we just register em. Weve got to get control. Thats what they need to know.
Years ago, I might have been a Democrat, she says. But I saw the problem and I went to the Republican Party. I didnt wait for them to come looking for me. Why do these young people have to be solicited? We are all intelligent people. We need to be voting our convictions and choose a party.
The audience cheers again when Luntz asks, How many of you would vote for her for president?
