House GOP Leaders Defend Trump’s Racist Tweets

“It’s all politics. … Let’s solve the problems that are before us.”

Okay,

What do you plan to do about THIS one?

I’m still waiting for “Hold My Beer” McCarthy to apologize for his anti-Semitic Der Sturmer-style Tweet about Soros, Steyer et al as the secret bankers behind the un-American resistance.

He muffed a quote from MLK about judging an individual by the content of his character. May have flinched from using it at the last moment when it dawned on him what the responses might be since we are talking about Trump.

If Republicans took action against Rep. Steve King (R-IA) when he did something “that we disagreed with,” and the Republicans will take no action against Trump for his latest racist tweets, then it follows that Trump did not say anything they disagree with. Finally, an admission from GOP “leadership” that they are a party of racists.

I see Mr. McCarthy has been attending the Dinesh D’Souza School of American Political History.

Or perhaps it’s the “I have friends who have friends who have black friends” defense.

I read it as “content of the individual” is that they are willing to stand before the press and the country and lie about the President’s racist comments and actions, it’s called Republican integrity or grit. Grit because they have to grit their teeth every moment of every day that Trump is the leader of their party.

Why does the so-called “Party of Lincoln” venerate Confederate statues and fly their fucking traitor flags?

Oh, yeah! That’s gonna work! LOL!

As soon as they pulling the “party of Lincoln” bullshit, which they have done so many times before, you know they are drowning in shit.

It’s like when they pull the “Dems are anti-Semitic/anti-Israel!” crap. Yeah, idiots, scream that while your fan base demonizes George Soros, a survivor of the Holocaust. Funny how they don’t mention how Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel tried cozying up to the RW European leaders of Hungary and other countries by also helping to demonize Soros. But, I mean, that would be so inconvenient!

Just look at the cast of characters behind McCarthy. Virginia Foxx-defender of for profit colleges. No fan of Title IV and X.
Liz Cheney-War without end profiteer, defends torture. Somehow can’t figure out what a concentration camp is.
Steve Scalise- Often referred to as David Duke without the baggage.

Donald J. Trump is a racist and white supremacist. Why else would he have told sitting members of the House to leave the country who just happen to be WOC. Do note that there were no Persons of Color standing with McCarthy at the podium. The only black Republican in the House is Will Hurd. Hurd went on record to say that Trump’s tweets and comments were racist and xenophobic.

Or perhaps the “My ancestors from 160 years ago had a black friend defense”.

The “party of Lincoln” died April 14th, 1865 at Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC.

I’d suggest after reading this, people read the post “Resilience and Solidarity in The Era of Trump” next.

This is how it’s done and why they have a massive, massive advantage over us.

They are not the party of Lincoln. They are the party of Strom Thurmond and George Wallace.

I know: It’s the “The guy who helped found our party 160 years ago had a black friend named Frederick Douglass – who’s still doing great things!” defense to racism.
