Bettie Cook Scott: Liberal Scumbag of the Week

Claim to Fame: Michigan House of Representatives from the 2nd district

Why She's the Liberal Scumbag of the Week: for making racially-insensitive comments against her Asian-American opponent Rep. Stephanie Chang before the Democrat primary election for state Sen. District 1.

Called out by more than a dozen local community groups, Scott was forced to apologize after allegedly referring to Chang as "ching-chang" and "the ching-chong" to multiple voters outside polling precincts during last Tuesday's election. Scott was also said to have called one of Chang's campaign volunteers an “immigrant,” saying “you don’t belong here” and “I want you out of my country.”

"These comments are offensive to all Asian-Americans," said Chang. "It isn't about me. It's about an elected official disrespecting entire populations, whether they be Asian-American, immigrant, or residents of Sen. District 1 or [Cook's] own current house district."

However, in a sweet case of karma coming back to bite someone's ass, Chang would win the election with 49 percent of the vote while Scott came in third with only 11 percent of the vote.
