Republican outrage over Trump’s racism is bad acting and hypocritical
Republicans have been using racial dog whistles and disparaging remarks about minorities for seven years. So why the outrage when Trump does it?
Republicans have been using racial dog whistles, and outright racially insensitive remarks, about Americans of color for at least a decade and they’ve only ramped it up since President Obama’s election. It’s just how they operate to rile up the white folk to garner electoral support. Not unlike what Donald Trump did to decimate the rest of the Republican presidential field. It is noteworthy that without the GOP laying the groundwork and making blatant racism popular and a campaign asset, Donald Trump would be back negotiating with the networks to host another reality show; he would not be the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.
Of particular note this week is House Speaker Paul Ryan saying that he doesn’t like Trump’s racist remarks about a federal judge, not one bit, but he will support him all the same because he will aid Republicans in ravaging the poor and enriching the already wealthy. Now the big news is Trump’s people calling Speaker Ryan a racistbecause he said Trump’s comments are racist.
