August 30th, 2013 2:05 PM
Illinois Democratic Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky added her ignorant voice to the cacophony of economic confusion Thursday on the low-rated MSNBC show hosted by Chris Hayes.

Of all the political angles that might be played in connection with the Aurora theater shooting, surely racism would be a card too far, right? Wrong.
