Ana Navarro lambastes Trump poodle Rick DeSantis for his "macaca" moment





Ana Navarro

@ananavarro
As a Floridian, it was my hope this Governor’s race would be about the pressing issues facing our state -rising tides, algae outbreak, trade, economy, jobs. I had hoped it would not be one were racism was front and center. That hope lasted all of 10 hours.

In the age of Trump, GOP racism is front and center.

The main part of their damn platform.

DeSantis couldn't wait to put his racist hate on blast, first thing!

where Atwater's famous remarks in '81 talked about not being able to say "n****r, n****r, n****r" in the '60s and instead using terms like "forced busing", "states rights"...finally completely diluting the code to be a true "dog whistle" by using terms like "cutting taxes".

Now they are going backwards and will eventually start saying ""n****r, n****r, n****r" again.

What once constituted the political death penalty is now considered an endearing quality among followers. Deplorables are quite inured to even the most severe of tut-tuttings.

And vote to destroy all health care ,and Social Security, and protect a corrupt treasonous criminal like trump? Don't understand people's motives to vote against themselves, and to transfer a lot more wealth to the super wealthy in this country from robbing the rest of us. That doesn't make sense.

Because they bought into the hype that people of "other races" were no good freeloaders and do nothing but "take take take" so they want someone to get rid of their "problem".... not realizing that due to their own population being very much in the majority, THEY are also the majority of the so-called "freeloaders".
