“No, you weren’t in New York Metropolis when that occurred. It’s on video, it’s on video, and chances are you’ll watch the video. And you may see how he stubborn. That’s flawed. This isn’t about pores and skin coloration. I refuse, I refuse so that you can try this.”
Bowman beforehand referred to as Greene’s feedback a transparent case of stereotyping.
