A man representing a far-right extemist group used a racial slur while testifying Thursday before a Michigan Senate committee hearing in Lansing on whether to permanently ban guns from the state Capitol building, the Detroit News reports.
The man who identified himself as Avi Rachlin, representing "Groypers for America," told the Michigan Senate Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee that the ban went against the will of the people who had voted for Donald Trump for president.
"This is legislation that targets White people," Rachlin said, according to Craig Mauger of the News. "It is racial because the people who carry in the Capitol are primarily White people ..., and this is retaliation for the only demographic that overwhelmingly voted to support Donald Trump."
He then said Rachlin then said lawmakers should focus on people who shoot others in places like Detroit that is "overwhelmingly 13 to 34 year old Sub-Saharan African n------."
