The Racist Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tancredo (Part 2)

I don't normally do a "Quote of the Day," but if I did, this would be today's:
"Officer, I come from a good family, my great uncle is Tom Tancredo."
The story of the recently arrested racist niece, or great niece, or whatever, of Tom Tancredo continues.

Crystal Ann Tancredo was arrested in Colorado two days ago after getting in what appeared to be a drunken bar fight. Tancredo, like her not so great uncle, seemed to think that illegal immigrants were somehow out to get her.
“[The police] took the illegal immigrants’ side over my side,” she said. “It felt like they had more rights than I did and it’s not fair. … I said, ‘Officer, I come from a good family, my great uncle is Tom Tancredo.’”

...

The officer wrote that Tancredo swore and yelled racial epithets refused to comply in various ways, jerked her hands around when he tried to handcuff her and at one point said, “I don’t have to move, my uncle is Tom Tancredo.”
Of course Tom Tancredo is still denying that this model citizen is in any way related to him. But, I've been studying her mug shot and they do seem to share some resemblance:



Look Tom, she has your crazy.
