Peter Kinder, Republican Lt. Governor of Missouri is no stranger to controversy. Recently, he's complained that his
$86k a year salary isn't enough. When it comes to standing with the people of Missouri, the Lt. Gov. took time to go to the funeral of Michael Brown to show his concern.
That concern, however, may have been short lived. In an interview with NewsMax online TV magazine, he makes some choice comments about the happenings in Missouri.

Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder on Tuesday also asserted that the department was "staffed with Marxists and black radicals" and defended statements he had made a day earlier accusing agency officials of racism.
This comes a day after making comments that the Justice Department was "fanning the flames" of racism by keeping the story of Ferguson alive in the media.
In a free wheeling interview - still available at NewsMax, Kinder talks about how he views the justice department, the president, and the handling of the shooting.

Kinder agreed and said Obama and Holder had joined in "incitement of the mob" and "encouraging disorder in Ferguson."
Kinder responded: "There is more racism in the Justice Department than there is in any, yes, than anywhere I see in the St. Louis area."
"It is the Eric Holder and Obama left and their minions who are obsessed with race while the rest of us are moving on beyond it," Kinder added on the show.
"The Justice Department has had an interest in fanning the flames of racial divisions since the first day Eric Holder took office. So has this president," Kinder said.
Lt. Governor Kinder, who believes that the state of Missouri has moved on past any racial divisions and is now entirely post-racial from his point of view, argues that the current Justice Department is the one causing the problems.
Lt. Governor Kinder offered no explanation for the racist emails that came from the Ferguson Police Department -- many printed in Time Magazine recently.
The US Justice Department Refused to comment, and sources within the Missouri Bureau of Investigation also refused to comment on Kinder's statements.
