Let's be real here. Calling her lazy isn't racist unless he said it's because she's black. That doesn't mean he isn't racist, but claiming things that aren't is only downplays the times that he says things that are much worse. People won't take the Democrat party seriously if they're always trying to make mountains out of molehills.
Given that she's not known to be lazy or anywhere close and he's publicly super racist all the time, Occam's Razor would conclude that that was indeed the only likely interpretation.
Getting hung up on the overwhelmingly likely not being explicitly proven like this doesn't make you sound reasonable and fair minded. It makes you sound like you're looking for excuses to explain away racism.
It is because she is black because he is a racist piece of shit. You can tell because of all the racist shit he says.
Defending a racist piece of shit isn't a good look btw.
Do you want to treat races as equal or not? Some black people are lazy and some white people are lazy. Imagine being so racist that you believe only white people can be lazy.
She is on the campaign trail hourly. This is clearly a racist insult.
Yeah her and Liz Cheney must be so exhausted talking about how they miss the good ol days of Bush and Dick Cheney.
It's dogwhistling
Seriously the dems are trying to say calling someone lazy is inherently racist, like thats racist in itself. Oh lazy automatically means black folk ain’t shit, like are you serious? This is beyond stupid, the folks in charge can’t drive this truck anymore cause they clearly checked out of reality.
Wtf are you on about?
I have been saying this. It makes Democrats look stupid.
Trump doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. He is a racist who says racist things, like this.
I used to do this (and still despised the a-hole huckster), but then 2016 happened and we got a peek inside that rotting organ he calls a brain. no longer.
He's terrible but that doesn't mean everything the Democrats do is right.
Nobody on this site says they do.
And molehills out of some mountains. Like their corporate support.
Lol. I saw you've got more downvotes than up votes for a simple but honest statement. People must be living in a different reality than us.
Same reality, but they may think that it'll become better if everybody thinks the same and is loyal to their party.
