ABC Foams Over 'Racial Slur' of Republican Rep: 12 References to GOP in Under Three Minutes

The reporters and hosts of Good Morning America really want you to know something: Don Young is a Republican. The ABC morning show on Saturday made 11 references to the GOP Congressman in a span of just two minutes. Young referred to "wetbacks" in an interview last week. An ABC graphic blared, "Congressman uses racist term." Co-host Bianna Golodryga insisted that "this comment has created quite the headache for Republicans." Reporter Jeff Zeleny lectured, "The Republican Party's effort to rebuild and rebrand its image is colliding this morning with the party's old guard."  To make sure everyone was clear on what party Young belonged to, the journalist added, "Republican advisers tell ABC News they worry that the racial slur from Congressman Young comes at precisely the wrong time, just as the Republicans are trying to expand their appeal to Latino voters."
