Although it's not a surprise that a Republican said something stupid what is surprising is that no one in the main stream media really wrote about it.
Last October Congressman Scott Garrett was at an event where a supported made the comment that doing business in the American Midwest was easier because of their "straight-forward" attitude.
Congressman Garrett had this to add to that;
"Other ethnicities are not that way," Garrett said. "They'll say yes to you constantly and then you'll realize they really didn't mean it."
Then in typical republican fashion he tried to back track, but that wasn't very successful either he clarified his statement by saying that "he meant people in other countries".
