CNN Panel of Republican Women Defends Trump, Calls Four Congresswomen the Real Racists: ‘They Don’t Like White People’

By Aidan McLaughlinJul 17th, 2019, 8:55 am

CNN’s Randi Kaye spoke to a panel of Republican women in Dallas, Texas about President Donald Trump’s tweets aimed at four congresswomen of color, who he said should “go back” to where they came from.

“It seems as though there is nothing that Donald Trump can do to shake these eight Republican women,” Kaye reported. “And even in this most recent controversy, they feel that these congresswomen are racist — and Donald Trump still has their full support.”

The eight Republican women from Dallas all raised their hands when Kaye asked who thought Trump’s tweets were not racist.

“They hate America,” Dena Miller said of the lawmakers, echoing a claim Trump has made without any evidence. “If it’s so bad, there’s a lot of places they can go.”

One of the women noted, “I’m a brown-skinned woman, I am a legal immigrant, I agree with him.”

“You don’t think that’s racist?” Kaye asked.

Did they really say that? LOL

What we see here is the foundation of bigotry, ignorance. We are not going to change their minds. We do need to get out there and register people to vote and get our side out in droves.

Summary: CNN SETS UP A SHAM FOCUS GROUP FILLED WITH TRUMP HARDLINERS!

Although CNN didn't disclose this, Google tells me that Dena Miller is the national director of Trumpettes for America, a network of socialites who work to gin up support for Trump in the media. Well done, Dena!

Gina O’Briant, Geni Manning, and Kathleen Lieberman are members of the Texas Women for Trump Coalition. So they're not your typical housewives, either.

Republican Cami Dean ran for Congress (TX-3) in 2014.

These are not ordinary Republican women. These are people who are deeply invested in Republican activism, and their appearance here tells me they can't come up with enough mainstream Republicans for this focus group. They're only talking to the true believers -- which makes Trump look more popular than he really is.

Fuck you, CNN! Once again, you have failed--so that Trump can be cast in a falsely perverted light.

CNN randomly selects some random Republican women at random from random places in Texas, and it turns out that each and every one of them is deeply invested in Republican activism! What an amazing coincidence. How was CNN to know?
