Port: ND House Democrat insults sponsor of refugee study ‘born in prejudice and suspicion’ – The Dickinson Press

Category: Democrat

But even though the bill which arrived on the House floor today is only a study it still inspired insults from at least one Democrat aimed at its sponsor Rep. Chris Olson of West Fargo.

It was conceived in ignorance and fear, and born in prejudice and suspicion, a visibly angry Rep. Mary Schneider (D-Fargo) said on the House floor today. The study is given life from a mean spirited bill, and it guarded that nature in its current form. Its designed to look for and report only the negatives.

Olson spoke immediately after Schneider and asked for an apology.

To impugn my motives..is completely out of order and I would hope for an apology on that, he said.

He went on to point out that the bill is a study into a federal resettlement program.

This is a program that has become largely an unfunded mandate, he continued, adding that its not unreasonable for the state to ask for some information about resettlement.
