House Republican leaders told lawmakers to focus on criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris’ record without reference to her race and gender, following caustic remarks from some Republicans attacking her on the basis of identity.
During a closed-door meeting Tuesday morning, chair of the House GOP campaign arm Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) and others issued the warning after a series of comments by their members that focused on Harris’ race as well as claims she is a “DEI” pick, according to two people in the room.
In the 48 hours since President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, Republican leaders have tried to train their criticism of the presumptive Democratic nominee on her handling of the border and her plan to skip Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress.
But several Republicans immediately took the criticism in a different direction. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said Monday that Harris was a “DEI vice president” and Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) over the weekend questioned if Democrats are sticking by her “because of her ethnic background.” If nominated, Harris would be the first Black and South Asian woman to be a major party nominee.
so nerds how many days until a chud politician calls Kamala the n-word live?
If anything loses them the election its going to be this. 100% the racist freaks in the GOP are not going to be able to stop themselves from doing endlessly misgynoir, to a point that normal people (who are still racist, but they dont usually like it to be so overt) are going to be offput.
Average racists when they hear Republicans talk about Kamala
GOP gonna alienate the silent majority of their base that fully agrees with all the tenants of racism except for being loud and annoying about it.
Failing the crucial “be normal” rule
The kind of crackkkers that get kicked out of a klan rally for being too racist.
You'd think Republicans would understand there are plenty of class traitors that are also not white or straight and it wouldn't be an issue anymore for them, but then they would have to stop scapegoating and actually have to do something for the people.
