ā€œSeriously, folks!!! We. Don’t. All. Look. Alike!ā€ Gillum tweeted in response to the mix-up.

Predicted response: Maybe not. But you should still go back to wherever you came from.

They don’t even care to hide it anymore.

They always hid in plain sight.

Lawlessness, corruption, bigotry & hate all in plain sight in the WH.

Just curious, why do you think they ever cared or more to point that it was ever hidden.?

It was more of a dog whistle before that allowed them implausible plausible deniability for the gullible (i.e. media). For example, Reagan beginning his campaign in Philadelphia, MS or the Willie Horton ad. But now, it’s all together different. ā€œVery fine peopleā€, ā€œJews will not replace usā€, etc. It’s overt, it’s ugly, it’s confrontational, and it’s orchestrated from the very top levels of government.

Pulitzer Prize winning stuff TPM… Why doesn’t Josh just get back to telling us how bad Trump is but why we can’t impeach him, with the implication of ā€œwhat can be done?ā€ This is what we have as a ā€œprogressiveā€ website? It’s pathetic.

This is not dog-whistle. The message is direct, blatant for all to hear; notjust those with dog ears.

ā€œDear @Cnn Bookers, Please put @AndrewGillum and I on TV together. We have to do it for the pplā€¦ā€ Sellers tweeted with several laugh emojis.

Shortly after Tapper called attention to the error.

Well, it looks like I’m not the only grammar cop around here. I’m glad to hear that Tapper pointed out that Sellers should have used ā€œmeā€ instead of ā€œI.ā€

Are we seriously still at the point where black people all look alike to the loons in rat wang media? Honestly, I’m ready to take a hostage.

That and more Tomi stories, not enough of those.
