As my colleague Adam Nagourney reports, on Saturday the Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy veered away from his fight with the federal government to share his views on race, slavery and abortion in remarks to supporters and journalists at a news conference.
Mr. Bundyâs inflammatory comments about âthe Negroâ were caught on video streamed from the phone of a blogger who has been chronicling Mr. Bundyâs well-publicized standoff with the Bureau of Land Management to the website Bambuser.
Despite the video evidence, Mr. Bundyâs supporters suggested in a Facebook update on Thursday that his words had been âtaken out of context,â as Oliver Willis pointed out in a blog post for the liberal group Media Matters for America.
