Republicans Have a ‘Thread of Bigotry That Is Appalling’
Why attribute honest motives to your political opponents when you can besmirch their character instead? That’s what we learn from DNC Chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who says Republicans are just evil when it comes to immigration. “This isn’t about politics at all,” she declared. “It’s not about politics for the president, nor is it about politics for any of us who care.” Au contraire. Everything is politics for the president. She continued, “They [illegals] essentially have become the backbone of our economy.” Let’s just say that’s giving them too much credit. Furthermore, she said, “The Republicans have not only played politics with this for too long, but I think deeply embedded in too many of the Republicans in the House of Representatives is a thread of bigotry that is appalling.” What’s appalling is the gross political spin and character assassination critical to Democrats’ approach to this or any other issue.
