“D-Listed” Bravo star Kathy Griffin has come underfire from civil rights leaders for perceived racist comments targeted toward Secretary of State Condolezza Rice when K.G was a guest-host on Tuesday’s episode of “The View.”

Kathy referred to Condoleeza as a “not pro woman woman” because she “follows everything white men say. She does whatever the white man does…. Any African-American woman who is a Republican does not understand that she’s not part of their agenda. Wake up!”

Barbara Walters accused Kathy of making a bigoted statement. Walters asked, “She [Rice] shouldn’t be a Republican because she’s Black and not a good example for women because she’s Black?”

Kathy went on to explain that the government is not partial to the needs of women or minorities and as Secretary of State Condi is part of the problem.

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson says:

“Kathy Griffin’s sexist and bigoted remarks are offensive and uncalled for. It seems that Black Republicans and conservative straight White males are the only two groups in this country that godless liberals relish attacking.

“When will radical liberals stop insulting the intelligence of Blacks by constantly ridiculing them in public for exercising their freedom to belong to the party of their choice and for not adhering to their left wing agenda? It’s time to stop discriminating against Black Republicans like Secretary Rice and treating Blacks as if they can’t think for themselves.”
