‘Can't take him seriously': Democrat blasted for ‘racist' comments about immigrants
Political Commentator Shemeka Michelle has ripped into a Democrat congressman his comments about why America needs illegal immigrants. Veteran Democrat Jerry Nadler claims the US 'needs immigrants' for jobs such as picking vegetables and to increase the birth rate to replacement level. 'How disrespectful it is to just diminish them down to vegetable pickers,' Ms Michelle told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'I just can't take him seriously ... they don't even realise they are being racist or xenophobic.'

‘Indoctrination camps': US university student blasted for anti-Israel tirade
Political Commentator Shemeka Michelle says American universities have become 'indocrination camps'. Ms Michelle reacts to a commencement speech by MIT class president Megha Vemuri in which she called for the university to cut ties with the 'genocidal Israeli military'. 'It just makes me upset that she took this time, when other people were graduating as well, to use this for her own special soapbox,' Ms Michelle said. 'I would have been in the audience booing her and telling her to shut it up, because this was just not the time or the place.'
