Donald Trump received rare blowback from Republican lawmakers over a video posted to social media that included a racist image of former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, depicted as primates.
Since Trump’s return to the White House, Republican lawmakers have treaded carefully when disagreeing with the president, often communicating their concerns in private for fear of suffering his wrath.
But the swift calls to remove the post, which also echoed false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, represented a rare moment of bipartisan backlash to Trump’s actions from lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Fucking pathetic cowards. The entire lot of you. Actually Americans as a whole are stupid.
From a country outside of your borders: Fuck you.
As a citizen of a country that’s not crazy, you fucked up the first time you voted in this piece of shit.
You should have learned: Fuck you
Then you losers voted him in a second time: Fuck you.
Now you’re allowing facism, racism, homophobia, and the destruction of the planet for a couple of wannabe cosplay dictators to stay in power because they rape and kill young children and are destroying that constitution so hold so dear, but are ok with it being used as toilet paper and not upholding the laws written on it: Fuck you.
From the bottom of my heart: Fuck you. America is cancer.
It’s what I say about Trump and Republicans as an American that voted for Kamala. You’re not wrong, the entire country needs shook to the ground for voting in the malignant cancer.
From a country outside of your borders: Fuck you.
I see you, Canada.
Alberta is the beating heart of your corrupt fascist oligarchy. A glorified gas station parked atop a charnel pit. You’re Russians with the serial numbers filed off.
Death to Kkklanada.
May the millions of native peoples trampled by your imperial boot rise up and strangle you.
Well someone is a little upsetti spaghetti.
And what country might that be? I’m curious what kind of glass house you live in while throwing stones.
The one that didn’t elect a life long rapist pedophile snuff film aficionado grifter who dodged the draft and has turned your country into a fascist regime.
Hard to confirm without you saying which one. But whatever, you seem like an annoying troll so I’m going to just block you and move on
“A racist post” didn’t change anything. They’re looking at the Republicans getting thoroughly trounced in every election and they’re worried about their chances in the midterms.
This is just them taking something that isn’t going to affect any policy at all and mildly complaining about it. They’ll each do this with a few more non-mattering things this year, then go back to their constituents and proudly proclaim a weird mix of “See, I stood up to Trump, I’m independent, not part of the political establishment” as well as “I’ve been around enough to know the ropes and have connections, so you can trust me to get things done for you!”
Sadly, it’ll work on the Facebook / Faux “News” crowd.
The only thing that tools like Scott are objecting to, is that this style of racism makes it more difficult for them to run cover for Republicans’ white supremacist project more generally.
