Gov. Deval Patrick (D-MA): “Anger and fear…[are] being used by the national Republican party today.”

Tonight on In the Arena, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick says there might be a racist element to a movement that denies President Obama was born in the U.S.

Governor Patrick says, “There is something kind of perverse about the notion of calling into question [President Obama’s] background.” He continues, “There are people who are organizing around their anger rather than around particular issues….Anger and fear…[are] being used by the national Republican party today.”
