“The grievance in their mind, the animus, the anger -- they hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not,” he said.
"It is a welfare state. We have spent trillions of dollars on welfare, but we’ve put people in bondage, so that they can’t be all that they’re capable of being.
"America is a country of opportunity and freedom and liberty. It didn’t become that way because of a great government who provided everything for everyone," he continued. "No, the destiny of America, the freedom to come to this country -- where they’re still coming to our shores -- is because they can take their work ethic, their hard effort, and put up their capital and their risk, and build out their lives.”
Pittenger's comments immediately caused anger on social media.
The North Carolina Democratic Party issued a statement accusing him of "fanning the flames of hate" with racist rhetoric.
“This sort of bigotry has become all too common under the party of Donald J. Trump. Our great state should not be represented by someone who would make such hateful comments," it said.
