SACRAMENTO - Republican gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman announced Saturday she was severing ties with an elected official from Santa Clarita who described himself as a "proud racist."

The Whitman campaign disavowed Santa Clarita Councilman Bob Kellar's remarks one day after state Democrats called on the former eBay chief executive to distance herself from Kellar.

At a recent Tea Party-style rally in Southern California, Kellar blamed illegal immigrants for harming the economy. Located north of Los Angeles, Santa Clarita has seen a large influx of Hispanic immigrants.

Kellar recalled that Theodore Roosevelt once said the United States had room for only one flag and for one language - English. He said he mentioned the former president's comment at a City Council meeting several years ago.

"The only thing I heard back from a couple of people was, 'Bob, you sound like a racist,'" Kellar told the rally. "I said, 'That's good. If that's what you think I am because I happen to believe in America, then I'm a proud racist. You're darn right I am.'"

His videotaped remarks were posted on YouTube and caused an uproar.

Kellar said afterward that his comments were taken out of context but he has no regrets over the remark.

On Friday, Martha Escutia, general counsel for the California Democratic Party, released a statement, saying "There should be no room for racists in the Republican primary or any part of our electoral system."

Whitman's campaign shed Kellar's endorsement Saturday.

"Bob Kellar's remarks stoke the worst type of political dialogue," said campaign spokeswoman Sarah Pompei. "Meg is running for governor to help bring Californians together for a common purpose. Mr. Kellar's comments are unacceptable. He has voluntarily ended his limited involvement with our campaign."

Welcome, OVERMYDEADBODY!

BlahBlah

More political correctness in action.

Chelene Nightengale is also running for CA Governor, she used to head Save Our State and likely supports Bob Kellar.

Why Meg Whitman - China is running E-Bay, now? Or Asia?

She is a RINO?

Leave it to these people to spin things out of context!! It reminds me of what they did with Rush's statement that he hopes Obama fails..Of course they leave out he hopes Obamas policys fail.... But this is how they work because they can not win a fair fight!

Meg Whitman is a total RINO! I don't trust her one bit and will NOT be voting for her.
