The Daily Caller:


Florida Republican Rep. Allen West will not be receiving a response to his letter challenging the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Emanuel Cleaver to condemn recent attacks from its members on the tea party any time soon.


CBC spokeswoman Stephanie Young told The Daily Caller Thursday morning the CBC is likely not to respond to West in the coming weeks due to its hectic schedule and the CBC’s current focus on jobs.


West made news Wednesday when he sent a letter to Cleaver requesting the CBC condemn recent comments from Indiana Democratic Rep. Andre Carson and California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters. West further threatened to leave the CBC.


While a response from the CBC will not be forthcoming, one of the individuals named in West’s letter, has spoken out about his comments charging the tea party with wanting to see African Americans “hanging by a tree.” He is unapologetic.
