Maybe someone can be so kind as to transcrube it all so that we can collectively dissect it.

I don't think it was a good answer to the question but YMMV.[/quote]

[b]omg. THAT is what they are trying to smear him with? He gave a really good, non-racist answer. Seriously wtf.[/b] [/quote]

If this is the answer everyone is complaining about, DCUM's own Jeff Steele and a lot of other people owe Goulet an apology.[/quote]

That is not his full answer. It is cut off at the end and doesn't include his allegation that black voucher recipients are a source of crime. That's why we deserve that the Chamber of Commerce release the entire video.

are black voucher recipients a source of crime? sounds like an empirical question to me. [/quote]

If that is all that it is, why are Goulet and the Chamber hiding it? Obviously, if you respond to a question about racial and economic diversity by saying that black voucher recipients are a source of crime, it's a bit more than an empirical question.

your fixation on “release the video” is just as specious as “but her emails!”

goulet pretty clearly went on the record saying he has concerns about crime in the voucher buildings. that’s a concern voiced by a lot of other sources. there’s nothing at all hidden about his view on crime and the voucher buildings. he says it outright here:  https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/556619/eric-goulet-painted-voucher-holders-as-criminals-during-ward-3-debate-attendees-say/

moreover, the implication here is that nobody is allowed to talk about crime and vouchers in Ward 3 - progressives forbid it! Pure cancellation material. I hope voters see right through it. [/quote]

Okay, great! It now appears that you and I can both agree that Goulet responded to a question about racial and economic diversity by discussing black voucher-holders being a source of crime. Obviously we don't agree about the implications of that, but at least we can agree that is what happened, right?
