She is clearly stupid enough to state publicly what the MAGA types have always believed. Also, if humans came from Adam and Eve 6000 years ago, how could there be different races? I believe we need a new species, Homo stupidus, to make a place for the religious fundamentalists

It is so much easier to spot the un-American nationalists now that they’ve been emboldened to crawl out from under their rocks.

But there was something simpler and quainter about the pre-2015 years when our national consensus about polite society and proper discourse meant that they kept their vile traps shut and feigned allegiance to the values espoused in the Declaration of Independence.

"That’s how it’s been from the beginning of, how can I say, when God created the heaven and the earth. He created Adam and Eve at the same time. But as far as me being against blacks, no I’m not.”

“However, everybody knows that Adam and Eve, whether they were in Africa or the Middle East, were lily white. God is white, too, and of course so is Jesus. And the Holy Spirit is white - spirits are always white, just look at Casper the ghost, he’s a spirit. Oh, and Santa Claus, too … totally 100% white.”

The good thing about Trump is that he has brought racism and other vices to the open. It’s better when we know who the racist is, that the evangelicals take their mask of hypocrisy off and show us who they are, that “conservatives” show us that they are really reactionaries, “hard working americans” are just moochers wanting a handout… easier to deal with them …

A typical religious bigot. And if she really believed "He created Adam and Eve at the same time” she would know that God made us all dark-skin to start. The middle-east is not the home of pale white north European people.

From Wikipedia (they’ve done a pretty good job of keeping Marysville all white so far, at least through 2010 census):

As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 9,959 people, 4,160 households, and 2,738 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,362.4 inhabitants per square mile (526.0/km2). There were 4,515 housing units at an average density of 617.6 per square mile (238.5/km2). The racial makeup of the city was 97.5% White, 0.3% African American, 0.2% Native American, 0.6% Asian, 0.4% from other races, and 0.9% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.8% of the population.

I’ll be ecstatic to see them slither away back to those rocks, so that we won’t have to listen to them any more.

Some of these people really are deplorable. Translation of Cramer’s response to the mayor pro tem: “What Kathy Hayman doesn’t understand is that she should never have been born.”

Yeah, the blue-eyed blond-haired Jesus who speaks King James English.

Not quite the same as the Jewish carpenter who palled around with prostitutes and tax collectors.

Given the reaction of the audience [first giggles, then shock], Cramer’s going nowhere

Shall we start a gofundme to send an ancestry.com kit to Ms Cramer? Im willing to bet she may not like the results. I’m honestly a little surprised she didn’t point at the mayor and say “you’re misceginated!”
