Republican leaders are warning party members against using overtly racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, as they and former President Donald Trump ‘s campaign scramble to adjust to the reality of a new Democratic rival less than four months before Election Day.
At a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday, National Republican Congressional Committee chairman Richard Hudson, R-N.C., urged lawmakers to stick to criticizing Harris for her role in Biden-Harris administration policies.
“This election will be about policies and not personalities,” House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters after the meeting.
“This is not personal with regard to Kamala Harris,” he added, “and her ethnicity or her gender have nothing to do with this whatsoever.”
Yikes. The fact you gotta warn ppl is mind boggling.
Yeah, right? If you have to preemptively warn your elected party members to not do a racism or a sexism maybe you’re the party of the racists and sexists.
Hmm. Sounds woke. Republicans awaking to wokeness? Gotta try something when your base is infatuated with Old Sleepy Don, who can’t stop defaming E. Jean Carroll and doesn’t have anything bad to say about white supremacists.
I’d say that you and I should join some right-wing forums to make the point that this is “woke” and “anti-Republican”, but I strongly suspect many of them are already saying it themselves.
Also, from the WSJ:
I’m afraid the archive link just keeps asking me if I’m a robot and won’t let me in no matter how many times I check the box or tell them how many motorcycles I see.
So, you’re repeatedly performing the same task at the command of a computer. Are you certain you are a cephalopod, airborne or otherwise, and not, in fact, a robot? ;)
