Leavenworth County Commissioner Louis Klemp cited the master race the Nazi ideology of Aryan supremacy at a board meeting Tuesday while responding to a presentation by a black official, Triveece Penelton, on road development options in Tonganoxie, just west of Kansas City.
Colyer, a Republican, says in a statement Saturday that the remark was unacceptable. He says: Racial and discriminative language have no place in our society and most especially when spoken by someone holding public office.
