Democrat Milwaukee County Supervisor supports boycott of Arizona; Doesn’t know Arizona borders Mexico

24 June 2010 at 1:59 pm by Jasper Drake 17 Comments

Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors member Peggy West believes the Arizona immigration law is racist and supports a boycott of Arizona. Interestingly, West states that she would have to look twice at the Arizona law if it was “like Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico and they were calling for a measure like this.” According to West, Arizona is “removed from the border.” Thankfully, a colleague of hers reminds her that Arizona is in fact a border state.

Hilarity ensues thanks to Breitbart.

From the video:

Democrat County Supervisor Peggy West of Milwaukee is proud to be the “first Latino/Hispanic American to be elected to the Milwaukee County Board”. During the debate on a measure boycotting the state of Arizona she asserts an uneasy knowledge of US geography.

If she doesn’t know that Arizona is a border state, what are the chances Ms. West has read the Arizona law?

    The real question is … Who actually voted for this moron?

  • John Doe said:

    Do you think she’ll take a second look?

  • Andrew said:

    First, she says Arizona is removed from the border. The, she claims there are already troops on the border in Arizona. Seems to me she realized her mistake and tried to cover it up. Unbelievable.

    You have got to be freaking kidding me.

    I so wish the video had continued so we could see what Ms. West had to say after learning that Arizona is indeed a border state.

    Was it “Nevermind”?

    One stupid idiot. She has to be the only latino in north america that does’nt have a clue that arizona borders mexico.

    Here’s a woman with a degree in social justice, er, social work (Human Services, i.e., lifetime desk-bound, Happy Meal-inhaling blighted bureaucrat) who has probably relied on her racial minority card to get anything and everything she has ever looted.

    Nobody who voted for her looked past her Duh, Dim, Demoncrat (D) brand when they voted. Obviously, Wisconin liberal progressives got at least as much as they voted for in this button-pushing idealogue blissfully bereft of a critical thinking node in her brain.

    I bet if I go to Google.com and search “idiot” Ms. West’s picture comes up….

    What an embarassment Peggy West is to Milwaukee!!! This is what you get when you hire, or vote, to try and be politicaly correct. What you get is a moron trying to be a big-shot and runs off at the mouth without knowing the facts or what she’s talking about. Can’t she read a map? At this rate I’ll bet Peggy West couldn’t find her ass with both hands in a room full of mirrors. She should be fired just for sheer stupidity!!!!

    super moron! what school did she go to?

  • TLB said:

    She also said “if Arizona DID border Mexico I would have to take another look at it”. So…is she taking another look at the Arizona law..I guess we will see if she is a liar too. We already know she is stupid. Clearly a product of her fine education.
