(Washington, D.C.) — A southern Illinois Congressman is facing questions after a reference to ‘Orientals’ in response to town hall protestors. Republican Mike Bost earlier this week said it seems the anger from the town hall meetings aimed at Republicans in Congress reminded him of “the cleansing that the Orientals used to do where you’d put one person out in front and 900 people yell at them.” Bost says he didn’t intend to offend anyone or distract from the importance of the national debate.
