Former Rubio Volunteer Campaign Chair Compares Obama to Curious George

[Me.]

“This week’s cancellation of Roseanne has brought out the worst in a lot of terrible, criminally online people. Add Susan Goldstein to that list.

Goldstein is a prominent figure in Florida Republican politics, as a former state representative, a board member of the Florida Association of Lobbyists, and as a volunteer county campaign chair for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign. But online is the great equalizer, and Miami New-Times reports that Goldstein has just been kind of doing A Lot on Facebook today, including comparing Barack Obama to Curious George (emphasis mine):

After Roseanne Barr got her show canceled this past Tuesday for comparing a black woman to an ape, Goldstein decided to go on a public Facebook rant decrying what she feels is a “double standard” between liberals and conservatives. Why, she repeatedly asked online, are people not racist for comparing Donald Trump to an orangutan but racist when someone like Barr compares a black woman to an ape?

“And I truly think Obama resembles the Curious George cartoon, who I think is an adorable character,” Goldstein wrote on Facebook. “Curious George that is. That is what my eyes see. And I am not racist, and there is not mean-spirited intent in my observation. But I can’t say it. Double standard.”

his ignorance is showing.

(I would hope that ignorance like this could not emerge in the Democratic party.)
