GOP Email Blast Targets 29 ‘Deranged’ Dems Who Supported Pelosi Calling Out Racism | Talking Points Memo

Amid the ongoing fallout over President Donald Trump’s Twitter attack on four minority congresswomen, House Republicans’ campaign arm on Tuesday seized the opportunity to somehow spin a news cycle about the President’s racist comments into one about Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) decorum.

I think this bit points out that you can acknowledge cultural differences without being a racist.

Not sure about the exact number, but most on that screen shot are Democratic freshmen.

How come only 29? Why didn’t all Dems get included?

Presumably those are 29 Democrats GOP considers vulnerable. The list might be useful – it’s good to know which Democrats need protection to get re-elected.

…and charging that their “hatred of President Trump” had “reached a new pathetic level.”

Not sure about the rest of you, but I’d be worried if my hatred of President Trump hadn’t reached new levels.

All these tweets and email blasts!

Just as Josh and the rest of the TPM crowd have predicted: the Democrats are getting their act together!

Wow!

Before beginning delicate negotiations, avoid calling the opposing group “deranged.”

Did you know the White (non-Hispanic) population of the US is now less than 70% of the total population? It’s something like 66%.

I’m guessing we can expect the current White Rampage to continue until that percentage sinks into the low 40%s, at which point it will really go ballistic.

Just guessing.

[Number One With A Bullet] (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Number%20One%20With%20A%20Bullet)

Fast moving to the top. Going all the way to number one as if attached to or accompanied by a bullet. A reference to the Billboard top 100 songs where a fast moving track was accompanied by a ‘bullet’ icon on the chart. Inspiration of the AC/DC lyric “Number One with a Bullet. I’m A Power Pack.”

“That new Ice Cube track ain’t just a number one, it’s number one with a bullet!”

I hope Rethugliklans can keep their undisguised racism in a few more news cycles. There’s nothing quite like the smell of them burning to the ground their slimmest of chances at garnering the votes of Independents and young voters.

Karry on the Krusade, Klansmen!

It’s so cute the way their embrace of racism grows tighter and tighter and tighter, while they get increasingly incensed if someone says the word “racism.” Come on, people, it’s your BRAND! Like deregulation! And guns! Don’t be coy!

Oh bless their delicate little … whatevers. They are so afraid of Donald J. Trump and the Deplorables (sounds like a really bad indy band) that they will rush right out there and cry ‘FOUL FOUL THEY’RE ATTACKING US’ and further divide the country. Dickheads…literally.

They are perfectly fine with POTUS breaking the law. NDP breaking House rules on decorum? Grab the smelling salts.

Oh, I think there’s a strong likelihood that they’ll meet and surpass this expectation.
