Zerlina Maxwell: Republicans Are Trying to ‘Out-Racist One Another’

‘And then they claim, when people criticize those comments, that they’re being cancelled’’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MAXWELL: “Well, there’s this thing happening in the Republican Party right now where I feel like they’re trying to out racist one another and then they claim when people criticize those comments that they’re being canceled, and decry cancel culture and then they fund raise off of it. It’s this weird cycle of saying the racist thing and denying the thing you said as racist and fund-raising off of that when criticized by everyone else and everybody heard what he said. We know what he means. We know what that expression comes from and I find it ghastly that he would invoke that at a hearing when we’re talking that day about anti-asian hatred and the fact that eight people were killed this week because of potentially white supremacy and white supremacist violence and so that’s the issue. The issue is not an expression from Texas in which you invoke lynching.”
