Jake Knotts ready to lead Republican Inquisition, claims GOP "infiltrated by libertarians"

UPDATE: The video embed code I initially used was wrong but I think I've got it fixed now. In case you can't view the video below, try this link from WFMB-TV instead.

An unrepentant Jakie Knotts has now declared war on libertarians within the GOP.

At the 1:45 mark, Knotts uses libertarian as a pejorative to describe Joshua Gross, who authored the resolution [against Knotts] and was campaign consultant for Katrina Shealy’s 2008 Senate contest against Knotts. The day after Knotts called Haley and Obama "ragheads", Shealy announced she is running against Knotts in 2012.

At 4:48 mark, Knotts -- with sweat pouring down the side of his big sweaty noggin -- accuses the GOP of being "infiltrated by libertarians".

At the 6:00 mark, Knotts accuses the press of giving Nikki Haley a free pass because they haven't asked Haley "Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and that he died on the cross for her sins?"


Thank you, Jakie Knotts. So glad to hear you are the voice of social conservatives. Let the inquisition begin!
