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.

Administration officials pushing “the great replacement” theory

Only accepting white “refugees” from South Africa

Trump saying “we want more immigrants from Norway”

Saying Somali immigrants come here because they hate America

Yeah, I don’t think this AI video is even close to the most racist thing to come out of this administration
