Mark Meadows wanted to assure everyone he wasn't, especially since Elijah Cummings is one of his best friends.
Mark Meadows, however, said this about Obama in 2012: "What we're going to do is take back our country. 2012 is the time to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is". It was met with applause as he stood next to the "Tea Party Express" bus.

during his attempt to prove its not a racist act to use a black aide as a prop in the matter, he invoked his grandchildren of color. "not a lot of people know that about me" he said... as if it was some sort of family shame or something.
it was really quite telling, the discrepancy there. to not even understand how that could be interpreted as disrespectful. unreal.
