It’s Probably Just Me

But I detect some not-so-subtle racism in the way Comer and Boebert respond to Rep. Crockett.

Keep in mind loud-mouth lout MTG started this exchange with an assault on AOC (in the MAGA mind “The Squad” is still a thing, not a label made up by the DC Press, and AOC is still the ringleader and scourge of all true Americans. Getting her scalp would be a badge of MAGA honor.

What is this insane obsession Republicans have with demanding AOC debate them? https://t.co/JDUAkfnxyy

Exactly.) Rep. Crockett then raised the question of how Comer was running the hearing (by the rules? Or by letting MTG say whatever the hell she wanted to?). Comer first feigns innocent incomprehension as he realizes the position he’s put himself in. He then decides the best escape is to shoot the messenger, and he acts like Rep. Crockett is speaking in a strange dialect this close to English. Black women from Texas, who can understand what they’re saying half the time, am I right, boys?

Boebert picks up on this and condescendingly tells Rep. Crockett to settle down, to which suggestion Rep. Crockett responds as the condescension deserves.

All in defense of a mouthy white woman who acts like she’s still in the trailer park. Who proves again she’s not fit to be in the halls of Congress, even as a visitor.

But it’s probably just me.
