Som1 – problematic, not necessarily scared or offended. You should find it problematic if anyone in a position of power cited the first amendment, and nothing more, when asked for his or opinion about something widely understood to be racist or anti-Semitic. This is the same guy who had a problem with the Obama administration�s avoidance of the phrase radical Islam. The issue is not whether racists and anti semites have a constitutional right to their views, but whether he has the ability to call it by what it is when asked for his views. He would not infringe anyone�s constitutional rights if he repeated the statement he made years ago, that the confederate flag should be relegated to museums. You have to ask yourself what holds him back.
