I like that he says what he thinks and doesn’t mind if it ticks off the left. Apparently he made a nice gesture of providing free food for the Black Caucus. Instead of the Black Caucus being thankful that someone else provided food for them, they were offended. Why? Because what Rep. West sent them were Chick-Fil-A biscuits!</p>
<p>Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) said that it was a deliberate attempt to offend the members of the Congressional Black Caucus.</p>
<p>“We have a rotation in the Congressional Black Caucus where every member provides the lunch one of the weeks when we meet,” Hastings told Huffington Post on Monday.</p>
<p>“We have fried chicken. And we have catfish and BBQ. We do not have watermelon, although sometimes people will have fruit. We serve a full course meal with collard greens. We have Jamaican beans and rice,” he continued. “But West ”sent Chick-fil-A with biscuits. Ok?”</p>
<p>“That was an ‘in your face.’ Every member of the Congressional Black Caucus that was there was offended,” he added.</p>
<p>So let’s get this straight (pun intended, since the controversy over Chick-Fil-A deals with homosexual ‘marriage). Mr. Hastings and his Democrat colleagues are ok with chicken just as long as it isn’t chicken from Chick-Fil-A. they are such thin skinned, little people that they could not respond graciously and thank Rep. West for providing such wonderful food for their meeting. No, they had to go and get their dander up about what brand of Chicken was provided.<br /><br />Read more: <a href="http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/08/look-at-what-allen-west-did-to-tick-off-the-black-caucus/#ixzz230XMOGvo" style="color: #003399;">http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/08/look-at-what-allen-west-did-to-tick-off-the-black-caucus/#ixzz230XMOGvo</a></p>
