So Deserving
Harris County (think Houston) elected a total nincompoop as their county Republican Party Chairman. He’s a flat racist.
The incoming chair, Keith Nielsen, had faced calls to give up the position last month after sharing a Facebook post juxtaposing a Martin Luther King Jr. quote with a banana.
Ya know, Republicans are supposed to be rich. You’d think this guy could hire someone to come up with something racist that he could post without resorting to such a beat-up, overused, battered trope.
In June, he announced that he was going to resign before taking office in August, but what with racism becoming so popular lately among Republican men, he changed his mind.
He attended a precinct chair meeting and kinda shocked everybody —
“He announced that he would be taking office on Aug. 3,” said Nancy Scott, a precinct chair who was in attendance.
They elected him, they get to keep him. Besides, he wears a cross everywhere he goes so he’s a racist for Jesus and that makes it okay.
Way to go, Harris County.
Maybe he can get a job writing for Tucker Carlson.
1and his predecessor Jared Woodfill is now repping Steven F. Hotze
2Yippee, skippee, Texas Republican is an open rascist.
Move along, y’all, nuthin’ to see here!
Hey, maybe he could work the ref over Florida passing Texas in the COVID 19 Death Derby!
3Not exactly on topic but it is about repugnantican racism by our racist in chief today. Trumpf basically okd confederate flags at his political events. He likened it to “Black Lives Matter” freedom of speech. We already know Black Lives Matter shirts and banners are not allowed in his events (actually people get arrested for that). Well we know exactly who he’s talking to (for one Mr Nielsen). As Trumpf comes up with something worse each day, expect him to ok KKK and Nazi banners in his audiences in the future- maybe even the repugnantican convention in Florida.
4Steve @4: If there were only 10 ads and only 9 of them had a first sentence of 14 words, I’d ignore this. But this is not a dog whistle, but a Chrysler air raid siren (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Air-raid_Siren):

Of course the symbolism is too deep for Trump, whose intellect would drown in a kid’s wading pool. But you can bet his campaign, and Stephen Miller, are aware of it and choose it carefully.
5Well, he should help keep Harris County a nice deep blue.
6Well Hell, these Texass county Rethugs need to keep up with the others, their Bexar county chair, Cynthia Brehm [just lost primary runoff], is at least as big of a RWNJ whacko as good ol’ Keith.
