Apparently, the executive director of Tancredo's anti-immigrant Team America PAC (also executive director of Pat Buchanan's group, The American Cause) pled guilty to "verbally and physically assaulting a black woman" and will be sentenced in July. According to the Factual Proffer from the case
On July 7, 2007 at approximately 7:15 p.m., at Jefferson and M Street, Northwest, in Washington, D.C., defendant was walking down the street when he encountered the complainant, Ms. [Redacted], who is African-American. The defendant uttered, "[N*****]," as he delivered a karate chop to [complainant's] head. Ms. [Redacted]'s [redacted] attempted to detain defendant, but defendant was able to escape. Ultimately, the defendant was stopped and arrested by Secret Service officers.
The defendant, Marcus Epstein, is still featured prominently on Team America's website nearly two years after the crime.

WOW, who would have thought that Tancredo and Buchanan would both be "paling around with rascists"? I guess he took the "Team America (World Polic)" title too seriously.

If only the Macus Epsteins of the world would walk into Adams Morgan, South Central LA, or perhaps my house (I can only fantasize) and call me out of my name and attempt to karate chop me...

Sick people. Modern day demagogues and race baiters, this should not be surprising to anyone that one of his minions did this. Tancredo will probably condemn it, and he should not be believed. He's a race baiter. (Maybe he just hates Hispanics, I dont know)

Did I mention that he plead guilty? Although, only after a plea agreement was reached. And he even amended the guilty plea in a most egregious way.
I am pleading guilty because I am in fact guilty of the offenses set forth herein. believe the government could prove me guilty.
The change was hand-written onto the guilty plea. Yep, he's trying to get out of it, even though the incident was witnessed by off-duty Secret Service personnel.


Yes.

Default Tancredo aide pleads guilty in bizarre racist attack

Remember how Tom Tancredo went on CNN last week and called Sonia Sotomayor a racist, accusing her falsely of being a member of a "Latino KKK"? Well, if racism so offends him, how does he explain this?
On July 7, 2007, at approximately 7:15 p.m. at Jefferson and M Street, Northwest, in Washington, D.C., defendant was walking down the street making offensive remarks when he encountered the complainant, Ms. [REDACTED], who is African-American. The defendant uttered, "******," as he delivered a karate chop to Ms. [REDACTED]'s head.
That defendant is named Marcus Epstein--a former Tancredo speechwriter who now works as executive director of Tancredo's political action committee.
