I believe the crack about āfilthy languageā was aimed at Tlaib, who said āimpeach the motherfuckerā at a rally. (Of course this ignores how Trumplethinskin himself has been quoted dropping F-bombs. Apparently itās okay if he does it. Hypocrite.)
Personally, I have no problem with Rashidaās straight talk-- it made me even more proud that sheās my Repā¦
The hypocrisy ā¦ it hurts. Like, heās constantly insulting others often using incredibly crass language, and is certainly no stranger to dropping swear words at his rallies and even in tweets.
But a brown-skinned woman says āmotherfuckerā at a private event and suddenly monocles are popping and pearls are being clutched everywhere.
The counter-argument was pretty telling, i.e. āOF COURSE weāre voting to support all this Likud stuff because of AIPAC money, but itās anti-Semitic for you to point it out when EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO is also because somebodyās bribing us. Why you only concerned about AIPAC bribes, huh?ā
itās kind of ironic. conservatives believe that you have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, that successful people did it all themselvesā¦ and yet.
when someone criticizes a member of the republican party, they take it as an offense to themselves. they canāt distinguish between the individual and the party. they close ranks.
nothing ups the support of his base like critisism. especially when its well earned
The whole āI know a person of color and/or went to bed with them, therefore I am absolved of all racism foreverā trope is surreal. Somehow good olā Milo Y. manages to be a militantly-homophobic white supremacist while being married to a black man.
