    Interesting that seer is acknowledging racism in the Republican party.
    Why are you lying Shuny when I specifically said it was not based on race?

      It is racist because they specifically target black voters, and seems against the voter registrations of it rather than supporting it.

        Moreover, it goes against the Trump narrative that he has deep support of black voters.

        From article:

        “And that’s why African Americans are joining the Republican Party like nobody ever thought even possible,” he continued. “They love us and we love them.”

        Oh really?

          She said nothing about trying to stop anything. Now to show this was not racist answer this question: if Blacks were voting 90% Republican instead of 90% Democrat would she have issued this warning? We all know the answer - so it was political, not racial.

            It was a gaff, but it was a racist gaff. It also isn't that significant, except that it was very bad form to word it the way she did.

            She should simply have expressed concern over an increase in the number of Democrat voting registrations.

              Surely if this woman was a racist then there would be more evidence than a one-off "slip". So is there more evidence?
