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.”

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.

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

So is the fact that Trump won’t be about to stop himself from doing it.

AND it won’t work

They hate on James Donald Bowman’s Indian wife. They hate on that Sikh woman that spoke at the convention. Who actually believes they will hold back regarding the opposing parties’ black female nominee?

Edit: Oh this article is about the elected people in the party. Not the actual members. I guess we will be seeing more BS from right wing ‘news’ as a work around.

Yeah but then they don’t have anything left

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.

Samvega ,

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.

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:

Fixed your link gore, lol.

Ha, nice, thanks. Fixed.

DeepThought42 ,

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.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

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.

nondescripthandle ,

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.
