Zinke defends 'konnichiwa' comment to Japanese-American lawmaker
Zinke took heat last week after he said “konnichiwa” to a Japanese American congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa, D-Hawaii, who quizzed him over funding for the Japanese American Confinement Sites program.
“Will we see it funded again in 2018?," Rep. Hanabusa, asked Zinke last week.
I would have probably told Ms. Tojo to go to hell instead of saying good morning.. But that's just me..

Seems innocuous .
I doubt he was doing anything but being just normal.. It really was just a plain old joe comment, no big deal, but Democrats had to try and blow it all out of proportion.
Just like if he was speaking with the head of the Navajo nation and going woo woo woo while hitting his mouth, just a plain old joe moment, how absurd. Somehow I believe you do in fact perceive it as normal.
An "Old Joe" moment like this?:
"In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking."
— Joe Biden, captured on C-SPAN's "Road to the White House" series, trying to bond with an Indian-American supporter.
we will not personally attack folks on my columns? Do you understand that?
It seems you have trouble discriminating between attacks and observations. There is a fundamental difference, do you understand that?
And you obviously know nothing about the Japanese culture.
Ohayo gozaimasu means Good Morning.
konnichiwa means Good Day.
Their meeting was after lunch, so his comment was absolutely correct - which shows that the Congresswoman doesn't quite understand her own language - but, she knows enough to start screaming STEREOTYPE 'cause someone actually knows her language and offers to be formally courteous????
Jeeezzzzzz - what these friggin' people will do to get their name in the lights.
Yet again you attack me by saying I'm having "trouble" doing something.
I'm sick of your attacks, don't make personal attacks on my stories.
Never communicate with a liberal more than necessary. Treat them like an enemy force. Only supply name, rank and serial number.
