What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut some conservatives in that group say a swirl of anti-Indian language among the online right has turned into administration moves that seem to quietly target people of Indian descent.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo they showed up, they voted, and now they're getting the cold shoulder? I'd call that a mix-up in the seating chart.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLook on the bright side, Vera. Everybody's talking about them, and that's more attention than most voting blocs get at a county fair.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a real concern for any group that helped deliver a victory.
