Michigan candidate 'Trucker Randy' says a family is made up of a 'white Mom, white dad and white kids'

According to a report from the Detroit News, a far-right conservative radio host who is running for a seat in the state Senate as a Democrat, recently told listeners that he thinks families should be all white.


Last week "Trucker Randy" Bishop, who previously chaired the Antrim County Republican Party filed to run for a seat representing the 37th state Senate District as a Democrat.
That in turn has led to scrutiny of his radio rants, one of which in particular where he complained about how mixed families in commercials upset him.
As Craig Mauger of the Detroit News wrote, "Bishop, who goes by 'Trucker Randy,' made the comments on his March 31 show, according to a podcast that was still available."

According to the report, Bishop told his followers, "Can't even watch a college basketball tournament without commercials telling me I have to feel guilty because I think a family should be a White mom, a White dad and White kids. They want us to die and go away. And they're going to try to do it through politics this year. Well, we have got to be just as smart."

Bishop also complained about reports of conservative efforts to keep Black Americans from voting, asking his audience, " "Why are we talking so much about voter suppression. ... Black people not being allowed to vote?"

Why are you worried about some bozo in Michigan who isn't even running for national office? After all, you live in Texas.

Me? I don't give a rat's ass about this guy. I have people here in Colorado to worry about.

I expect one of four responses to this:

1. The “why are we talking about this” response e.g. @Mycroft response we have already seen

2. The tangent… steer the discussion toward Biden, liberals, immigrants, Hunter… really anything will do. We have seen this already with @The flaming lib

3. Outright defense e.g. white families are better

4. The “it was just a joke” / “he was actually talking about something completely different and innocent” response.

What we are less likely to see is “this guy is a terrible reflection of conservatives and should be kicked out of the GOP” which of course is the right answer.

I think you may find there is another point...and that would be that there are a lot of people that are opposed to mixed race marriages (I'm not). If Im reading his comment correctly, what he said was not that the ONLY families should be white families...but that families should be of the same race.


At the end of the day, you will find a significant number of people of all races...especially mid to older generations...that are opposed to mixed race marriages. I cant imagine anyone would find that shocking (again...not something they have to agree with...but not shocking). This particular individual voiced his opinion.

Not fair.

Americans would’ve voted for anyone to get rid of treasonous Trump.

So they voted for an idiot to get rid of Trump. Looking at China Joes approval ratings the vast majority now regret it.

I am dissatisfied with Biden on several issues. That doesn’t mean I regret voting for him over Loser #45. If keeping the treasonous former president out of office meant I’d have to vote for Biden again, today, I’d do so in a heartbeat. So would a great many other Americans.

You sure do seem sympathetic to the opposition to interracial marriages.

Well, yeah. But that's not because we hate Trump. It's because we hate you, the Trump voters.

Lyndon LaRouche ran at least twice "as a Democrat" but that doesn't mean Democrats didn't give him the finger.

Provide a link to any reliable/verifiable source that asserts the majority of Americans that voted for Biden because they didn’t want another four years of Trump, now regret their choice.

Me? I don't give a rat's ass about this guy. I have people here in Colorado to worry about.
You bore me
