Hmmmm, anyone else notice when it comes to obvious racial precedence Barret goes silent?

For instance; "can the president deny someone voting rights because of their race?"

She punted and wouldn't give a solid naw.


WHAT THE HELL ?!?!


I think this is the 4th time she's done this on issues of race, I'm starting to see she doesn't like that issue at all.

And she would then be the first Fembot seated. She would avoid being a "pundit" but RATHER be of right-wing servitude or oligarch protector.

the 18th century, it wouldn't occur to her that people who aren't white should even have the right to vote.

Yeah, that's sarcasm, but it wouldn't surprise me if she believes that legally black men are 3/5th of a person and black women aren't people at all.

It's subtly and inherently racist. White Irish Catholics who associate themselves with Notre Dame are very familiar with the "special favoritism" that they believe God bestows upon them. God views anything "Notre Dame" as the most God-like of all cultures. God speaks to them directly through prayer and through his spiritual emissaries. This highly presumptuous piety explains the stiff stoicism that Barrett projects.
