GOP’s Kevin McCarthy suggests judging cops based on ‘the color of their uniform’ is on par with racism

Published 7 hours ago on June 10, 2020



House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Wednesday said that it’s just as wrong to stereotype against police officers as it is to stereotype based on race.

While appearing on “Fox & Friends,” McCarthy said that people protesting against police brutality “have a right to be heard” before going off on a tirade about “people who are looting” and “antifa.”

“This nation believes in the rule of law, that no one should be judged based upon the color of their skin and nobody should be judged based upon the color of their uniform either,” he said. “And that’s what we should work together in principle to make sure, at the end of the day, the thing that we all believe is we strive for a more perfect union.”

1. This man is as dumb as a box of rocks

and way less useful.

[Maeve]

23. with a bag of hammers on the side

[pecosbob]

2. How about when we judge them by whether they beat people to death or not?

[Rorey]

3. Stereotyping is never right

But to compare the two is just plain assinine. WTF is wrong with him!!!??

[Mr.Bill]

4. How about judging a President

by the color of his tan suit?

[MotorCityBeard]

15. BURN!

That would be a great response to his stupid ass comment.

[Leghorn21]

5. I have no idea what he's saying, but considering the source, I just cannot feel bad

so I ain’t

[Solly Mack]

6. When stupid tries to sound clever

[C_U_L8R]

7. Don't be a Karen, Kevin

[Ilsa]

27. Don't be a Kevin. nt

[C_U_L8R]

28. Better said.

[OrlandoDem2]

8. I'm sure he believes he said something quite profound, But I'm going to profess

that I have no idea what he means.

[Grokenstein]

16. He's just trying (and failing miserably) to play

some of that "people who oppose racism are the real racists" nonsense that the rightwankers were peddling a while back.

[qazplm135]

9. that level of stupid

makes me angry.

[flibbitygiblets]

10. Thanks for whitesplaining racism to us, Kevin.

[BamaRefugee]

11. Cops should start wearing YELLOW uniforms. Or maybe orange, to prepare them for what they'll be

wearing eventually.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Gees,you just can not make this shit up.

The Stench keeps getting stronger.

[paleotn]

13. He knows his audience....

Fox and Fucks is watched exclusively by old white people who aren't real sure what racism is. But the do know they hate brown people just because they're brown.

[Hulk]

14. Honest to God....he is one of the lamest congressmen alive....

This twerp is pathetic is just about every way imaginable. Wondering if he came up with this brain fart by himself, or had an aid shove it into his empty head.

What a complete fool.

[Mr.Bill]

17. The fact that he and Nancy Pelosi both come from California

is the best evidence I can think of just how big our state is. And how backwards some parts of it are.

[keithbvadu2]

18. Like Cliven Bundy's sniper sighting in on LEO badges?

Like Cliven Bundy's sniper sighting in on LEO badges?

Like the militia in the Oregon standoff telling people to come kill the cops?

[LanternWaste]

19. McCarthy rode Pete King's coat-tails in criticizing Obama for wearing a tan suit, for Christ's sake.

So his words appear even weaker and without merit than usual.

That and his "liaison" with Representative Renee (Men-Should-Speak-Down-To-Women's-Level) Ellmers seem to have made him a rather weak member of the GOP.... but I repeat myself.

[riversedge]

29. I do not recall that. Thanks.

[Schmice3]

20. Black and Blue says it all. n/t

[kimbutgar]

21. I know someone who is related to him and said he's not the brightest bulb

He was a joke in the family who attached himself to the repuke party ins Bakersfield and got elected because he was a local good old boy. They were stunned when he became speaker.

[sakabatou]

22. *facepalm*

[NoMoreRepugs]

24. In other news it appears Bonzo the Chimp did have offspring.

[BaronChocula]

25. Who?

This Kenneth McCartney, he's important somehow?

[Skittles]

26. I think stereotyping is wrong

but he gives himself away when he complains about "looting and antifa"

[milestogo]

30. Because you can't choose a uniform or take it off.

its constitutional.
