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.”

That is going to be impossible since the GOP is now a Nazi organization.

The party that has promoted a sexist and racist agenda for decades is surprised when its members publicly make sexist and racist comments about an opposing candidate? This very well could turn into a major leopard-ate-my-face moment and I’m ready for it with plenty of popcorn.

I suspect this is a way for them to signal to independents that they have changed, knowing full well that their rank and file members aren’t going to change anything they are doing.

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.

Time to secretly get some recordings of what they are really saying at their dinner party circles à la the recent recordings of Supreme Court justices discussing flags in their neighborhoods.

GOP Challenge: Don’t act in a way that lets people know you are a bigot.

Difficulty: Impossible.

Trump made them think its fine to keep saying the quiet part out loud without realizing the majority hate the sexism and hopefully a majority also hate the racism. They don’t know how to attack without dog whisteling and hopefully it continues to drive people away from them.

solsangraal ,

LOL it says quite enough that they have to be reminded of this
