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.”
Yikes. The fact you gotta warn ppl is mind boggling.
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.
No no, the way it reads is not to do these things overtly.
They know, they just don’t want you to know.
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.
So is the fact that Trump won’t be about to stop himself from doing it.
AND it won’t work
