Illinois GOP county chairman Jim Allen called a black female congressional candidate the “love child” of the Democratic party; a “street walker” whose “pimps” are party leaders; and suggested that after the election, she will be “working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
The candidate is Erika Harold, the former Miss America and Harvard Law grad who is seeking the Republican nomination for the 13th congressional district.
