New York Congresswoman Uses the N-Word (yes, that N-Word)

Representative Carolyn Maloney who is challenging Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in the New York democratic primary for Senate may have just buried her political career.

Apparently she was relaying a conversation she had Puerto Rican pol who called her up to complain about Gillibrand and in the midst of it, she uttered the dreaded n-word.

There is Carolyn Maloney, ripping into Kirsten Gillibrand broad and hard for voting against the two stimulus bills and for changing her positions on several core Democratic issues, sounding out her case on the fly as, “It’s the NRA, it’s immigration, it’s all these other things. In fact, I got a call from someone from Puerto Rico, said [Gillibrand] went to Puerto Rico and came out for English-only [education]. And he said, ‘It was like saying n—r to a Puerto Rican,’” she said, using the full racial slur. “I don’t know—I don’t know if that’s true or not. I just called. I’m just throwing that out. All of her—well, what does she stand for?”

Listen, lady, only one politician can get away with the n-word and that's because he has a legitimate reason to.

Rep. Maloney later apologized.

"I apologize for having repeated a word I find disgusting," she said. "It's no excuse, but I was so caught up in relaying the story exactly as it was told to me that, in doing so, I repeated a word that should never be repeated."
