Republican leaders urge colleagues to steer clear of racist and sexist attacks on Harris

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.”

Good luck with that.

Pretty wild stuff, both sides are the same my ass. Could you imagine the Democrats having to tell their party members to not be bigots?

No you cannot and that is fucking incredible, The amount of cognitive dissonance you have to have to be a Republican is mind-boggling.

El_guapazo ,

Both sides are the same? So far this is the only side whose leadership has to caution members to not be racist or sexist.

Now if they can get their followers on social media to do the same…

ResoluteCatnap ,

Can they warn party members to not incite another insurrection or civil war too?

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? ;)

Well… twice for the latter. The first time I had my VPN on, so I turned it off and tried again. So I guess ‘no matter how many times’ only applied to the first half of that. I clicked it like five times each time just to see if it made a difference.

Also, repetitive behavior is a very squid thing to do if we want to avoid predators. This feels like some sort of preying on my ability to show them I’m not a robot to me!

The coin has dropped that they’ll have to go back to dropping hard Rs in private for a while if they want any chance at turning the country into a christofascist dictatorship.

MudMan ,

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.

ShepherdPie ,

No no, the way it reads is not to do these things overtly.

maybe you’re the party of the racists and sexists.

They know, they just don’t want you to know.

Steer clear, aka “stop making so many…”

Back in 2020, they found over 200000 bigoted comments or slanders against Harris alone.

They’re ramping up now, of course: “Diversity hire”, “escort”, “slept her way to the top”, doctored images of her and Epstein, etc:

The idea that men should never have to learn self control - instead relying on another man to do it for them - just shows how weak-kneed these dudes are.

Normal men - Be strong! Be brave!

Republicans - Not on my watch!
