The Young Republicans convention was held in Indianapolis last weekend, and the local Republican blog Hoosier Access sat down with RNC Chairman Michael Steele for a good talk.
During the question and answer session, an audience member asked, “Regarding your inclusion of the diverse populations of the Republican party, what is your plan moving forward?”
Yes, it wasn’t the most articulate way to ask the question — how about how is the party going to lure new members? — but Steele’s answer wasn’t much better.
“My plan is to say “Ya’ll come,” Steele said with a Southern accent. He then added “I got the fried chicken and potato salad,” after hearing someone say “I’ll bring the collard greens.”
From from the Huffington Post:
Yes, that’s right. To lure African-Americans into the GOP, Steele is offering “fried chicken and potato salad.” Since he mentions Republicans should also be reaching out to the LGBT community, I wonder what stereotype he’s going to offer us? Buttplugs and Birkenstocks?
