Republican Lawmaker Calls Colleague ‘Buckwheat’ After Claiming He As soon as Had a ‘Gay’ Black Pal
“The nativist reputation comes from your own caucus, Kevin.”
After four years of a Republican president working almost daily to promote or support racism, white nationalism, or white supremacism – including top White House advisers who embraced these ideologies – Home of Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy He has a hard time crushing the Pandora’s hate box that Donald Trump unleashed.
McCarthy has refused to stand firmly against the most dangerous members of his caucus and has sought to allow extremist congressmen and women in Congress to actively lie, disrupt home business and spread hatred on a daily basis. Because they collect millions.
In response to the announcement by the Republican white supremacists of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona, that they would form the “America First Caucus,” McCarthy tweeted, Forbes notes, to resist these radicals.
It didn’t go well.
The America First Caucus “Platform” states: “It takes some intellectual boldness among members of the AFC to follow in President Trump’s footsteps and possibly step on some toes and sacred cows for the good of the American nation to sacrifice.”
Is it focus? All current GOP buzzwords such as “electoral fraud”, “sovereignty”, “big tech”, “immigration”, “America First Education” and “The Chinese Communist Party”.
A part that raises eyebrows is not talking about America’s “Judeo-Christian” heritage, which the far-right party often uses to single out some immigrants, but about another term that further narrows this opening: “America is a nation with one Border and a culture that is strengthened by a shared respect for unique Anglo-Saxon political traditions. “
Late on Friday afternoon, McCarthy tried to push back.
“America is based on the idea that we are all created equal and that success is achieved through honest, hard work. It’s not based on identity, race or religion, ”he tweeted. “The Republican Party is Lincoln’s party, and the party with more opportunities for all Americans – not nativist dog whistles.”
The Republican Party was the nativist dog-whistle party, as many reminded him, even decades before Donald Trump.
Here is what some are saying.
Imma let you finish, but …
No, actually I am not.
The seditious flotsam dragging behind the sewer of national populism is a nativist dog whistle tuned for deafening volume. https://t.co/OAxVXzFstg

“Dog whistle”? That suggests subtlety, and Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn’t that subtle. https://t.co/JlXNIyP25m

Is that a parody account? – The modern GOP protects statues of Confederate traitors who would have killed Lincoln, and GOP supporters walk around with Confederate flags https://t.co/uNrgVybsiw

If America was built on the idea that we were all created equal, why did we have to add amendments for blacks and women to make it a legal requirement that they be treated equally?

Then why did you fight so hard to keep the person whose nativist dog whistle inspired this window dressing tweet on the House’s Education and Labor Committee? https://t.co/blvG04w7Qo
