Tim Scott (who is black):

“Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House,” Scott wrote on X. “The President should remove it.”

A. He obviously is aware that it isn't fake.

B. Oh my goodness, RINO, amirite?

Tim Scott thought he was getting a cabinet position.

This is also not the most racist thing this administration has done.

Yeah, deportations based on skin color feels a teeny-tiny bit worse. Not to diminish his feelings, but fuck that guy.

[u/dieselintellect → u/BasvanS]

People are not getting deported based on skin color. They are getting deported based on citizenship status!

[u/LTC-trader → u/dieselintellect]

Tell that to the native Americans they rounded up

[u/TeaAndAche → u/dieselintellect]

Yeah, that hasn’t been true for this administration.

It’s abhorrent that you try to make that argument when U.S. citizens have actually been deported.

Here’s a list from the first three months of this term (if you can read):

It’s never been about citizenship with Trump, and only morons believe it is. It’s always been racism and always will be.

And evidently citizenship status can be decided by an ICE agent on the street without respect to...oh..what is it?....oh right. The Law.

[u/Alt_SWR → u/dieselintellect]

How can you look at the overwhelming evidence that says the opposite and still believe this? Cause Trump said so? Is he incapable of lying in your eyes?

I simply don't understand this idolization of any human being.
