Local Tennessee GOP Chair Defends Meme Mocking Ocasio-Cortez Back to article

[theod]

It’s another sign of their deep fear of AOC.

Cue the banjo’s for Donnie’s incoming Tweet praising this slack-jawed yokel…

Welcome to the Tennessee Republican Party where racism is a point of cultural pride.

[cheapshotbert]

Are they just determined to make AOC as popular as a politician can possibly be?

[nickdanger]

Quelle horreur!! A joke about AOC. Don’t these people know that you can’t joke about AOC, who is saintly and good and will be canonized soon?

That’s actually a pretty good joke. But you need an open mind, and the DemoBorg is nothing if not closed-minded about the saints of the DemoBorg.

You creepy white fker…you defend your ‘freedom of speech’ and how it’s ‘the left’ that makes you such a miserable fk and all the world see is an unhealthy obsession with a young latina woman.

She is living rent free inside the wingnuts mind, that’s for sure. But they all go snowflake when she strikes back.

I miss that brief window of time in the mid-seventies to early eighties when racists felt like open racism was socially unacceptable.

[ljb860]

Once again the “responsibility” folks can’t take responsibility for their racism… and it is racism when the meme is placed against a POC as in this case.

It wasn’t funny, or clever and it certainly wasn’t worthy of the Party of Lincoln.

Allowing a few people on the left to whip up media outrage over political satire is just another example of the left manipulating the press to present their narrative as truth and all other views as wrong or worse racist,” she wrote. “The Republican Party of Williamson County will not let those outside our organization tell us what we can or can’t say.”

(1) These are the same people who said the “Obama as witch doctor” meme was “political satire” and not “overt racism.”

(2) No one is telling you what you can or can’t say. They are pointing out that what you said is racist and stupid.

Cardi B is joining her on that list.

And the Republicans STILL wonder why they had their asses handed them last November.

The GOP is deathly afraid of progressive, liberal women. Or maybe just women with a functioning brain.

[dommyluc]

Yeah, like AOC gives a flying fuck what you think, Smegma Brain.

[maximus]

@maricaibo

Or maybe just women with a functioning brain.

Or maybe just women.

[keninmn]

You see, that’s the problem with Republican’t “Humor”: It’s just not funny and is meant to be just plain mean…

[dommyluc]

I believe you mean “the party of Lincoln Continentals”. The GOP hasn’t been the party of Lincoln since…Lincoln.

[inversion]

@dommyluc

Lincoln Continentals"

Those are some styling cars.

That’s actually a pretty good joke.

Well, it’s at least on par with the stuff I used to read on the jokes page of Boy’s Life magazine back in my Scouting days, but my bar for what is actually a “good” joke has gone up a notch or two since then. Your mileage may vary.
