Ala.'s Sen. Beason on Aborigines, 'the Clip'
Clip: 10/28/2011 | 2m 52s
We talk to state senator Scott Beason about comments that have landed him in hot water.
We asked Ala. state senator Scott Beason about some comments he made which some have called racist. In one, he referred to a casino's black patrons as 'aborigines'. He has since apologized. And at a party breakfast meeting earlier this year, Beason told Alabama Republicans to "empty the clip and do what has to be done," in order to address illegal immigration.
