Democrat Alan Grayson: Doctor Who Said Go Elsewhere No Different Than Saying "I Will Not Treat a Black Person"

Even Anderson Cooper says "come on, there's no evidence of that at all"

"Many of the Democrats who live in Mt. Dora happen to be African Americans"

GRAYSON: He's a very confused individual. That much is obvious.But what he's doing clearly is a violation of the ethics rules that you cited earlier, the Hippocratic oath, the rules of the AMA. And it's at the expense of his patients and care. What he's doing is no different from saying, "I will not treat a black person. I will not treat a Catholic." I thought that we, as a country, has moved beyond that.

COOPER: But wait a minute...I'm not taking a side. I'm not taking anybody's side in this, but, just for accuracy's sake, he has said nothing about race. And race is a protected category. I mean, there are, it is illegal to discriminate someone based on race. It is not illegal to say you don't want to treat somebody because you don't like their politics. Politics is not a protected class.

GRAYSON: Well, in fact, where he lives, in Mount Dora, which is in my district, many, many of the Democrats who live in Mount Dora happen to be African-Americans.
