I reminded him that he had said that “Katrina had ripped off the scab of racism in our country” I mentioned to him on his program the scab had come off about two weeks. That he had barely touched the issue since then.

I also asked him about the lack of coverage on the Israeli Palestinian conflict (knowing what the answer would be).

He answered “I do not control the programming”

Matthew asked Cantor
“Is the Republican party responsible for the economic policies of this country right now”
