Mia Love Trying to Appeal to MAGA Trash

looking for a job on Fox or some other right wing org. notice she did a total turnaround from what she said in her concession speech. fuck her.

<Mia Love says Trump is not racist but Democrats are

Just-defeated Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, told a national TV audience Friday that race was not behind President Donald Trump publicly mocking her election loss, but race indeed was the reason Democrats worked hard to oust her.

Democrats “targeted me because I am a black female Republican. And they replaced me with a middle-aged white male,” Love said on ABC’s The View. She lost by 694 votes to Democrat Ben McAdams.

Ana Navarro, one of the show’s several hosts in its chatty format, pushed back. She asserted Democrats went after her because “they wanted the majority, so if it means taking out the only black Republican, they did it. ... I don’t think to them it was targeting a black woman.” Democrats won back the House majority in the election.

Meanwhile, Love — the only black Republican female House member in history — refused to go along with suggestions from hosts that Trump may be racist and “danced on the grave of her campaign” in part because of race.

Hosts asked Love why she felt he said that — and noted that her concession speech seemed to suggest race may have played a part, including saying Trump and Republicans don’t have deep relationship with minorities, only transactions.

Navarro pushed back again, noting that when Love had clashed with Trump, race was usually an apparent component — such as when she criticized him for reportedly calling Haiti a sh------ country, and when she fought his moves to take away temporary refugee status for Haitians. Love’s parents immigrated from Haiti.

But Love said that rather than such issues being about race, “To me those were American issues. Those were right or wrong issues.”>

It's like she dropped in from outer space and doesn't grasp the dynamics of not just her racist party but the politics of the rest of the country.

She fails to understand Dems went after her seat not her. She was just collateral damage.

"so if it means taking out the only black Republican"

That's the real issue here.

Democrats targeted you because you're a Republican. You just happen to be female and black, which has nothing to do with the targeting, IMO.

That whole "I'm different" thing that many black repugs have doesn't play in Peoria, or in that district in Utah for that matter.

I think Mia Love is being stupid but I also think that to a very limited degree she is correct. Not everything that Trump does is primarily and singularly motivated by racism.

The Democrats targeted EVERY Republican regardless of race. They ALL were targeted because they are Republicans and they are conservatives. Any other characteristic had NOTHING to do with anything, as opposed to when certain Democrats targeted Nancy Pelosi to oust her from the Speakership. That was motivated by both conservatism and sexism.

Anyway, Trump went after several politicians that did not go all in on him. Love was not the only one. Now, I think racial animosity figures into almost everything but I think that by far he was motivated by his narcissism in this situation.
