A video obtained by Big League Politics shows Dr. Rick Becker, candidate for the open Congressional seat in North Dakota, responding to racially charged language during a free speech forum in 2016.
The clipped video can be downloaded below:
Big League Politics searched for the full video but was unable to find it and in our interview, Dr. Becker said that he also did not have the full video. When I asked Dr. Becker if he believed it to be appropriate for him to say the terms which are derogatory towards Black Americans and the Jewish community, he said “The video clearly shows me repeating back a question that was asked of me on a livestream. The point of the livestream was to discuss the principles of free speech. I 100% stand against any derogatory use of racial slurs or any judgment based on the color of a person’s skin.”
The clip first resurfaced when it was sent to Dr. Becker’s campaign by Business Insider, who claimed to be releasing it multiple times but never did according to emails obtained by Big League Politics. When I asked Dr. Becker why he felt like the left-leaning outlet was interested in the clip, he stated that, ”The uniparty knows I am a threat because I represent real America. I will not play the D.C. games that have put us $34 trillion dollars in debt and I will not bend the knee to the main stream media. We are full speed ahead and plan on winning the North Dakota congressional race and going to DC to fight for We The People.”
Dr. Becker has released a growing slate of in-state endorsements from 28 GOP members of the state legislature. His opponents are Julie Fedorchak and Tom Campbell.
The primary election will be held on June 11, 2024 and the general election is likely to be uncompetitive for the Republican nominee.
