McSally pretends 's***hole' is not a slur

Rep. Martha McSally needs the votes of Trump supporters to win the Republican senatorial primary in Arizona so she decided to pretend she is less intelligent than she is.

To pretend that ‘s***hole’ is not a slur.

When the congresswoman was asked about President Donald Trump’s comments during a immigration meeting, in which Trump supposedly said, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” McSally feigned the inability to distinguish profanity from prejudice. From racism.

McSally said, “I speak a little salty behind closed doors at times as well, so I’m not going to throw the first stone on using any language. Look, the issue he was trying to get to is we’ve got to reform our immigration system.”
Making excuses for a bigoted remark in order to gain political support is McShameful.

immigration system. It does need reform. Here's what I'd like to see.
1. A plan to obtain citizenship for those who have established lives in the country for x number of years.
2. Accepting 100,000 Syrian refugees per year. Plus refugees from other countries. Kind of expanding TPS.
3. DACA forever.
