CNN: Lawmaker wearing hoodie removed from House floor
A congressman was removed from the House floor Wednesday after giving a speech about Trayvon Martin while wearing a hoodie.
Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Illinois, told House members, “racial profiling has to stop.”
Rush, a former Black Panther who was active in the civil rights movement in the 1960s, then took off his suit jacket, pulled a gray hoodie on over his head and put on sunglasses.
“Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum,” he said.
