So this Tom Tancredo speechwriter/director at Tancredo's PAC got in a bit of trouble (arrested) a couple years back for calling a black woman "nigger" and then karate chopping her. Obviously, this two-year-old incident was just a youthful indiscretion. But guess who doesn't get to go to UVA anymore!
What a shock that Marcus Epstein, an employee of America's most racially sensitive former congressmen (he also works for Bay Buchanan!), would've ever done something like this:
"On July 7, 2007, at approximately 7:15 p.m. at Jefferson and M Street, Northwest, in Washington, D.C., defendant was walking down the street making offensive remarks when he encountered the complainant, Ms. [REDACTED], who is African-American. The defendant uttered, ‘Nigger,' as he delivered a karate chop to Ms. [REDACTED]'s head."
Yes, well, that was in the distant past! He is a different man now! Epstein was going to attend law school at the University of Virginia, to prove how smart and not-racist-anymore he is now (??), but, uh, UVA's dean of admissions says that that isn't going to happen. Maybe because he neglected to include that criminal conviction in his application?
