I've come to expect that kind of shit from someone like MTG because of the relatively small number of constituents she needs to appeal to to win re-election. But for a state-wide candidate running for Senate to use that language without fear of the consequence.........either at the polls or from fellow members of the party.......is troubling.One of the many ugly things we've learned over the last seven years is how much of this was just under the surface.
So now it's coming out in the open.
If it was a black cop it would have been different?There was nothing subtle about George Floyd being murdered in the street by a white cop.
A national figure like, say, Michael Steele? Thead fail.Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) suggested at a rally in Nevada this month that Black people are criminals.
A day later in Arizona, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared to refer to a specious conspiracy theory about immigrants that has been associated with white nationalists — baseless claims that at least two GOP candidates for the U.S. Senate have echoed.
And in Wisconsin and North Carolina, Democratic candidates for the Senate have faced a barrage of ads on crime that feature mug shots of Black defendants.
As the campaign heats up in the final weeks before November’s midterm elections, so have overt appeals to racial animus and resentment. And the toxic remarks appear to be receiving less push back from Republicans than in past years, suggesting that some candidates in the first post-Trump election cycle have been influenced by the ex-president’s norm-breaking example.
“Anybody who’s got a title in the party could say something — senator, governor, anybody,” said Michael Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, who noted a deafening silence in the party after Tuberville’s comment. “Anyone could stand up and say, ‘Can we stop this please?’ But they won’t.”
This begs the question why? Why doesn't a national figure like McConnell speak out? Let me answer my own rhetorical question. Because Mitch isn't going to call out Tommy's racist comments while the POT is trying to take back the Senate. Or after for that matter. Why? Easy. Racist dog whistles are an acceptable feature of POT politics in the post Trump era.
The ones doing the crime? Climb out of your basement and take a look at Chicago, Detroit, Philly, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Oakland, Baltimore etc. etc. etc.Who are the people that want reparations?
That is exactly what he "implied". Or more to the point, what he said..and meant.Thats not what he implied at all.
Cant you cultists come up with something better than race all the damn time? Good grief.
Nope, it isn't. Democrat incitement and support are well documented. Please keep up.As you know, that's a lie. The riots were universally condemned.
I take from your post you are pleased that the POT is putting up racist candidates saying things that would have ended their campaigns before bigotry once again became acceptable in the former GOP.
I see you heard the dog whistle loud and clear. Thanks for being honest enough to admit as much.The ones doing the crime? Climb out of your basement and take a look at Chicago, Detroit, Philly, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Oakland, Baltimore etc. etc. etc.
Posting a bullshit meme that fails to make a distinction, in the case of Harris's remarks, between protesters she supported and rioters she did not, exposes your ignorant gullibility.Nope, it isn't. Democrat incitement and support are well documented. Please keep up.View attachment 712012
You seem to be adept at placing an elephant in the room and then tip toeing around it while calling any logical response to YOUR actions, racist. Run along you race baiting troll--I hear Jussie Smollett calling your name.I see you heard the dog whistle loud and clear. Thanks for being honest enough to admit as much.
Nonsense, he is well known. Steele is an establishment guy. The party moved on, he stayed behind. All his loss of influence is self inflicted.If he was still the chairman of the party you'd have an argument. He isn't, you don't.
Get back to me when you have a logical reply.You seem to be adept at placing an elephant in the room and then tip toeing around it while calling any logical response to YOUR actions, racist. Run along you race baiting troll--I hear Jussie Smollett calling your name.
It is logical to anyone with half a brain. Get back to me when you discover the meaning of logic.Get back to me when you have a logical reply.
She supported the organization that bailed the rioters out.

Nope, that's reality. Steele, Bush, Cheney, Romney, and a slew of other folks did not move with the party. Trump proved all those folks were establishment first, not America first.You just shot yourself in the foot.
