“One hundred percent, she was a DEI hire. He said he was going to hire... And then and she didn't... Her record is abysmal at best,” Burchett replied.

        It’s only a little bit of collisional with the DNC to fuck over Bernie.

        It was her turn.

          Not just collisional, but liability and comprehensive too.

    Ah yes, the mythical white woman who would have raised $250 million in 24 hours instead of just a record breaking $100 million.

        Hillary raised $90 million in the entire month of July.

        Harris raised $89 million in a single day in July.

    They could always Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that complete a coherent sentence drop out because he’s too old, and replace him with a white female. Personally, I’d like to see that Jewish space lasers nutjob get her ass handed to her by our current VP.

    So Republicans fully support a white republican female as president?

    Where is this candidate?

    Oh right they’re still on the “old white guy” train and it’s not about skin color or gender beyond their racism and sexism.

    I already need a second hand to count the number of times I’ve heard people saying “she used to be a prostitute” in public or at work, while also not remembering WHO said that, where they heard it from, or any sort of evidence to back it up beyond “I just pulled this out of my ass because she’s a woman and that’s what I associate women with”

          I dislike her as much as the next guy, but Nikki is her middle name, and she’s used it basically all her life: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/05/05/fact-check-haley-didnt-white-wash-her-name-nikki-punjabi/4928061001/

          And she married before going into politics, so I imagine she’s used the name Haley for her entire political career. Generally you don’t want to change your name once you start, because name recognition is huge.

      Not exactly. It’s more that they are questioning Biden’s decision to only consider black women for certain roles (VP, Supreme Court Justice). They know affirmative action polls poorly, so they’re attacking him where he’s weak.

      Americans, by and large, want people to be selected based solely on ability. They want everyone to have a fair chance - but despise the idea of guaranteed slots being held open for people who look a certain way. Even California outlawed affirmative action.

      This isn’t the terrible double-standard you think it is - just a decently calibrated political attack.

    If the GQP cared about white women they wouldn’t have let their courts decimate Roe. Next ridiculous argument please.

    Would the GOP like to have a white woman as a candidate as an alternative? No? Then STFU.

    (I know, they’d probably give us Majorly Tugid Greens or something, but still.)

    What happened to white women? Well, she ran for office and you claimed she was unfit for office because women are emotionally unstable and something about emails that magically disappeared as soon as Ivanka got caught ACTUALLY deleting emails.

    Wooooow, him calling her unqualified is so cringe

    Just compare their education and work

    What about white females? The right would still call them derogatory names if they didn’t completely and wholeheartedly submit to them.
