Trump Nominee Is Huge Racist, If You Can Believe It
https://www.wonkette.com/p/trump-nominee-is-huge-racist-if-youGary Legum
If you missed it, at the end of last week the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a confirmation hearing for one Jeremy Carl, an outright racist Donald Trump nominee (yeah, yeah, could we narrow it down?) for a high-level position at the State Department. As we watched, one question popped into our decaying brain again and again: why do all these "whites are the master race" guys always look like boiled hams?
Seriously, look at that unshaven punim up top and tell us that dude doesn't look like he should be lying on a platter at Easter dinner with an apple stuffed in his mouth.
Of course, being a walking, breathing contradiction of his own beliefs is not what's pathetic about Jeremy Carl. Or not the only thing, at least.
No, what's pathetic is watching Carl fumble around for answers to simple questions like an undergrad who didn't do the reading. Good God, man, at least be erudite enough to back up your mealy-mouthed racist bullshit! Overwhelming your questioners with a flood of garbage is pretty much the only way through. Look at Stephen Miller or Chris Rufo. Those guys simply throw out racist statement after racist statement so fast that by the time your brain processes one point to push back on, they have thrown out four more points for which there is no rational answer.
. . .
Anyway, watch him squirm when Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut asks him a pretty simple question, which comes out of Murphy's mouth as, "Tell me how you define white identity and what you think is being erased," but could easily translate to What in the actual fuck are you babbling about, you extra-yeasty sourdough loaf?
