It’s morning & I still can’t believe that Rep. Mark Meadows ran the full playbook of most insulting racism defenses. 1. Used the “Black friend” defense as proof a white person could not be racist. Actually physically presented the Black friend (which is unusual).

2. Used “he’s never said anything racist to me” as proof a white person could not be racist. 3. Asked forcefully “do you have proof” of witness who just recounted racist statements he personally heard.

4. Expressed outrage when a person of color called out the inherent racism of 1-3. 5. Accused the person calling out racism of being racist. 6. Confessed publicly that he has relatives who are “people of color.” 7. Became loud & tearful at the outrage of being accused of racism.

8. Demanded that the well-founded accusation of racism be “stricken from the record” or otherwise retracted.

9. Allowed himself to be calmed down by a Black person in authority with whom he insists he is friends. It was stunning. Sickening. Mind-blowing.

That the night ended with the resurrection of this birtherism gem from Meadows’ recent past was, of course, the final scene:

Here's Mark Meadows, who just sidetracked the entire House Oversight Committee to assure him he's not racist, saying that "2012 is the time we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is"

Replying to @Sifill_LDF

and how come no one brought up the fact that he had to bring her all the way from NYC? There was no black person willing to be a prop in DC, the very seat of the administration he's defending as non-racist.
