Jesse Wineberry is running for the US Congress to represent Washington State’s 9th Congressional district. He is black and, it almost goes without saying, he is a democrat. Recently he was pulled over by police for driving a stolen van. As you can imagine, those racist police are at fault for trying to enforce the law. Wineberry is accusing the cops of racially profiling him, including one of the officers who is also black.

The Seattle Times reports that Wineberry was pulled over near Safeco Field in Seattle on June 20. The van he was driving had been reported stolen. Wineberry was cuffed and taken to the police station for a couple of hours while things got sorted out.

As it turns out, Wineberry had rented the van but failed to turn it in at the end of the rental contract. The car rental company then reported the van stolen, because people don’t get to keep rental cars indefinitely. Wineberry blamed this on an “error” by one of his campaign staffers. Eventually the democrat was released without charges being filed against him.

Regardless of intent, not turning the van in made it a stolen vehicle. The police had every right to pull Wineberry over because he was driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

Wineberry however sees a much more sinister motivation. He claims the police pulled him over because he is black. After getting released from police custody, he immediately filed a complaint against the Seattle PD, accusing them of racism.

“I think the way I was treated was because I was African American,” said Wineberry.

Police released a statement saying that Wineberry was “uncooperative” during the traffic stop. A dashcam video of the stop shows Wineberry was pretty much an asshole to the cops. Wineberry starts things off on a bad note by trying to drive away. He stops a few feet later with cops yelling at him.

Wineberry then spends a couple of minutes completely ignoring the officers’ commands. This is followed by several minutes of Wineberry arguing with the officers, one of whom is black.. Yeah, Wineberry is accusing a black officer of racially profiling him for being black. At one point, Wineberry calls the black officer an “Uncle Tom.”

Then Wineberry accuses the cops of pulling him over because his white opponent put them up to it. Wineberry is running against incumbent Rep. Adam Smith who is white. Wineberry has previously said that Smith can’t represent the 9th district, which is heavily minority, because he is white.

Putting this “racist” conspiracy theory together: Wineberry claims that his white opponent made him not turn in his rental van and then alerted the police to the stolen vehicle. Then, a self-hating racist black cop, at the bidding of the white man, racially profiled Wineberry and arrested him for the color of his skin.

As you can see, racism in this country is so bad that it makes blacks racist against other blacks. Either that or Wineberry is completely full of shit and trying to use racism as an excuse for being too lazy to turn in his rental van.
