Videos of Mark Meadows saying "send Obama home to Kenya" resurface hours after he denied being a racist at Cohen hearing

Thursday February 28, 2019. 06:50 PM , from BoingBoing
Towards the end of the Michael Cohen's Oversight Committee hearing yesterday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) was highly insulted when Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) suggested he had committed a racist act by bringing in one of his black employees 'as a prop.'
“And it is insensitive...' Tlaib said, 'the fact that someone would actually use a prop, a black woman in this chamber, in this committee, is alone racist in itself.”
Meadows immediately reacted, insisting with high emotion that he was not a racist, and that somehow having nieces and nephews of color proved his point. He and Tlaib went back and forth in a heated exchange, with Meadows saying she called him a racist, and with Tlaib saying no, she only pointed out that he had committed a racist act. The scene was was pretty much smoothed over within about five minutes or so.
However, just hours later, videos of Meadows resurfaced that show that yes, sir, you ARE a racist.
The Washington Post put together the video above, where we can hear Meadows saying about President Barack Obama (while he was in office), 'We don't have to worry about it. We'll send him back home to Kenya, or where it is. We'll send him back home.' And, in another location on a different day, '2012 is the time we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is.'

Here's Mark Meadows, who just sidetracked the entire House Oversight Committee to assure him he's not racist, saying that "2012 is the time we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is" pic.twitter.com/90L1xnWf6v
