Will it serve as a warning to others like him?

 

[Dr_Meinheimer]

There aren’t many like him on the right in power. Some on the left (the squad, who are recent electees from the Democratic masses).

Either way, good riddance. I don’t know him personally, but he was hurting the party more than helping, and his comments didn’t reflect well.

 

[RolandThompsonGunner]

Good riddance.

He was hurting more than the party. He was hurting the country. Voices such as his and the squad and others who purvey in bigotry need to be rejected.

 

[Dr_Meinheimer]

Very true. It would be nice if the squad was purged as well. Neither side needs their ilk.

Except, perhaps, the head of the snake, which makes power more relevant than numbers…remember, in sociology, a “minority group” is not determine by numbers in the group, but the power one group has.

I really don’t think so. IPOTUS has empowered this kind of personality.

The last administration was headed by an American black. He had two black attorneys general. Does this mean that I was a minority during the last administration?
Or is this just more sociology nonsense like the claim that minorities can’t be racist because they lack power?

BTW, I find the oft—repeated charge that Trump Is a racist to be about as true as the accusation in 2012 that Romney was, and the one in2008 against McCain.

 

[Dr_Meinheimer]

Romney was also sexist if you recall. He put women in binders, and liberals melted down like a soft-serve ice cream cone in August.

Not liberals so much, in my view. More likely progressives. That intersectionality/ identity politics crowd that decries bigotry while overtly practicing it.
