It wasn’t like they were lying…only in the gop do they fire someone for telling the truth

Of course they had to fire him, you can’t have someone associated with the GOP that tells the truth, it is anathema to their very nature.

The only reason for the GOP’s existence at this point is to hurt brown people, poor people, gay people, and women, all while finding more ways to shift even more money to old rich white guys. But if that truth came out, then some of the people in those categories might figure it out and stop voting Republican, and we can’t have people voting in their own best interests now can we?

I should point out that a now-unemployed lower level staffer in all likelihood is not exactly “rich”. Without medical benefits he’s a broken leg or a cancer diagnosis away from destitution. 10 bucks says this guy has a copy of Atlas Shrugged on his coffee table in a cramped apartment. I know the type.

No, the Republican ideal was to ban people from entering this country from where this Muslim man came from.

He’s one Atwater away from a dignified exit.

Also, becoming a convenience store owner is so just what Republicans envision for successful immigrants, isn’t it?
Hate it when those Indians become lawyers and start investigating the President though, right?

So if being poor is below human dignity, how come republicans are uniformly opposed to measures that will help people to stop being poor?

He didn’t have time to catch a plane to the Wannsee.

He is now officially “Trump’s Muslim”
Look for him at the next rally holding up a sign “Muslims for Trump”

And Kim Jong Un is Trump’s idea of a Korea, tbh.

republicans hate poor people because it reminds them that capitalism doesn’t make a great society for all.
republicans hate poor people because it reminds them that they too are human.
republicans hate poor people because it reminds them that they have to share a planet with everyone.

Republicans love poor people because there are more of them than any other group, and they make great voters.

I doubt he/she was fired. If the staffer was, how would we know, it’s not like they would be truthful. And of course it’s a lowly “staffer” that tweeted that. Similar to Papadopoulos being a coffee boy.

I picked up on that too. It’s ok if coloreds make a good living for themselves as long as they know their place. That’s why republicans will hold up nursing as a woman’s career - but not as doctors.

Using Atwater as a verb is quite appropriate here.

The headline made me think this was some disaffected rght-winger going rogue.

The actual tweet is soooo much worse. Ham-handed, poorly expressed tweeter, we hardly knew ye. Nor would we care to. But kudos on the reveal of your total ideological bankruptcy.

Why do Republicans hate the truth? It isn’t as if what he tweeted we didn’t already know.
