Weeks after getting dissed Nader seeks press and stays on Republican message to criticize Black leaders.
Tensions
between Ralph Nader and the Congressional Black Caucus flared again
yesterday, after a letter from the independent presidential candidate
to the caucus chairman, Elijah Cummings (D-Md., demanded an apology for
an "obscene racial epitaph" at a tense meeting last month. Black
lawmakers reacted to Nader's letter with a combination of anger and
disdain, questioning his mental health and accusing him of acute and
advanced egomania. "He ain't playing with a full deck," said Rep.
James Clyburn (D-S.C.), a member of the caucus and vice chairman of the
Democratic caucus.
