Sharron Angle tells Hispanic students: 'Some of you look a little more Asian to me'

Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston has unearthed another strange comment from Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle during a visit with Hispanic students.

"So that's what we want is a secure and sovereign nation, and, you know, I don't know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don't know that," she told Rancho High School's Hispanic Student Union on Friday. "What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country. My grandchildren are evidence of that. I'm evidence of that. I've been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly." Here's video.

At the same event, Angle defended her anti-immigration ads, saying she wasn't targeting Latinos and suggesting she was talking about the border with Canada:

"I'm not sure that those are Latinos in that commercial. What it is, is a fence, and there are people coming across that fence. What we know is that our northern border is where the terrorists came through. That's the most porous border that we have. We cannot allow terrorists; we cannot allow anyone to come across our border if we don't know why they're coming. So, we have to secure all of our borders, and that's what that was about, is border security."

Remember the Fox News gabfests, the D.C. rallies and the campaign ads where Michele Bachmann brags about voting against President Barack Obama's stimulus bill? Too much federal spending, she says.

The Center for Public Integrity and MinnPost have published her letters to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and other federal agency leads, supporting stimulus funding for projects in her district, including $300 million for a new bridge over the St. Croix river near Stillwater.

Letters from other Minnesota lawmakers were published, including from GOP Reps. and stimulus critics John Kline and Erik Paulsen. Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Reps. Keith Ellison, Betty McCollum, Jim Oberstar, Collin Peterson and Tim Walz, who supported the stimulus, also sought support for district projects.

The Bachmann letters stand out because while she has incessantly ripped the stimulus bill as a failure, she also claims in her letter that the St. Croix River project could create almost 3,000 new jobs.
