VIDEO: Mia Love: Race doesn't matter, calls Biden 'disrespectful'

NBC's Luke Russert interviews Utah Congressional candidate Mia Love who is vying to be the first African American Republican Congresswoman in history.

Mia Love sees the campaign that President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are conducting as “disrespectful,” quoting the so-called “war on women,” and Biden’s recent comments on the campaign trail when he told a crowd that Republicans “want to put ya’ll back in chains.” 

“Well, when you think about it, let's look at the 'war on women,' I mean, he's tries to politically get women to vote for men,” the Utah congressional candidate said. “And if you think about Joe Biden's comments, "They want to put ya'll back in chains," I think it's absolutely disrespectful to the office that they hold. I deserve a president that sees me as a human being.”

But Love feels that her race won’t be a factor in her effort to become the Republican’s first African-American congresswoman, saying that her race and gender “doesn’t matter.” 

Asked how the Republican Party reaches out to groups its struggling with like African Americans, Latinos, women, and young voters, Love said the GOP just needs to focus on what she says American’s care about, which is the economy.

“I think that what they need to do is continue doing what the Republicans are doing right now, what Mitt Romney is doing, and that's focusing on the economy,” Love said. “That's what people really care about.”

Ryan called a LIAR by FOX NEWS

Deceiving

On the other hand, to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention to facts, Ryan’s speech was an apparent attempt to set the world record for the greatest number of blatant lies and misrepresentations slipped into a single political speech. On this measure, while it was Romney who ran the Olympics, Ryan earned the gold.

      I'd like her to tell Trayvon Martin's parents that race doesn't matter. I'd like her to watch the HBO special about the 08 election of our first black president and then say race doesn't matter. I'd like for her to address the folks at the Republican convention who threw peanuts at a black female CCN camera while telling her that is how they feed animals and tell her that race doesn't matter.

      This young lady got pimped by the Republican party and is too stupid to even know it.

        The CNN story was debunked by CNN ... it was a lie. HBO special? never saw it ... Trayvon Martin was with his Dad and Dads Girlfriend, & was a druggie. The jury will decide that but let me tell you something ... white people kill white people, Black people kill Black people ... Whites kill blacks and blacks kill whites ...or in Zimmermans case Hispanic ... They are ALL IDIOTS (including Zimmerman).

        That said, if you are Black, YOU should be pissed off at Obama because Blacks unemployment has skyrocketed under him. Black, White, Brown, Red, Yellow or all shades AMERICANS need jobs and that job will set you on a road of prosperity .. or in the least, making ends meet.

        Obama has turned his back on both HIS races, GET IT He uses the race card but ... he was raised mostly by his white Grandparents in white America and his cabinet ... mostly white ... his VP, white ... This Republican woman knows more about being Black than Obama ever will and she knows, Blacks and EVERYONE needs jobs and Obama failed.

            What the used tea bags doesn’t seem to get is that a black Uncle
            Tom teabagger have absolutely no credibility with the Black Community. NONE whatsoever.

            The Black Community expects that 5% of black people will
            bury the master’s silver in order to save it just like they did during the
            Civil War. Even though the valuables
            were obtained by selling their children, their brothers and sisters and other
            family members.

            These delusional buriers of the master’s silver exist in another
            universe where 98% of the Black Race is wrong in their thinking and political
            actions and they and their white Uncle Tomism is the only true road to follow.

            These rank opportunists are not fooling anyone but
            themselves and their fellow used tea bags.
            Only a simple teabagger’s mind would perceive that regurgitating endless
            moranic teabagger talking points and parading a few Uncle and Aunty Toms on a
            stage defines inclusivity.

              now you call Mia Love a " bitch " !! TRUE compassionate liberal concern and understanding.

              IMAGINE... a nation where a black woman can TRULY be judged (and judge others) by the content of her (and their) character and her (and their) abilities and not MERELY by skin color and sex organs! The democrats will have NONE of that as this goes against their ability to segregate and type cast. I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would be proud!
