And yes, anyone who can't acknowledge this was racist is in fact racist themselves. That's just reality. It wasn't someone stumbling over a name, it was full on racist, designed to appeal to racist supporters. The GOP has long since left dog whistles behind, and gone with full on overt and explicit bigotry and that seems to not bother Trump voters in the slightest.
Holy cow. This kind of presumption of evil intent in your fellow humans must be absolutely exhausting to live with.

Biden did not repeatedly do so nor do so in a mocking manner.

Perdue is the same man whose campaign just three months ago altered and enlarged the nose of a Jewish opponent. There is a pattern here.


Republican senator deletes ad that made Jewish opponent’s nose bigger

I guess the Trump supporters posting here are even more exhausted then, considering the presumption of evil they have about Democrats on thread after thread after thread.

After the Democrat's behavior in the past four years, no one ever has to apologize to one of them again. We're well past that, and on our way to no meaningful communication whatsoever.

Anyone jumping through their hoops isn't fit for office. Democrats aren't about to apologize for anything, no matter how offensive, corrupt or otherwise egregious, and neither should anyone who wants to prove themselves to have enough backbone to represent America against them.

Unlike the incident in Arizona that has people commenting, this one is the actual Senator running for reelection, not a staffer

And of course, rather than apologizing at Mark Kelly has done, Perdue's staff doubled down and suggested it didn't mean anything for him to deliberately mispronounce the name of the first Black and East Indian female Vice Presidential nominee - who has also been his Senate colleague for several years
Her name is easily mispronounced because it isn't pronounced the way it is spelled. To avoid making the same mistake, I just call her by her nick name, the mattress princess, that way everyone knows whom I'm referring to.

How long have Dems been intentionally mispronouncing the President's name?

Calling him "Drumf" or "tRump" .

But it's RACIST because Harris is half a shade darker than the average Caucasian?

I have about the same level of pigmentation as Harris has and I'm Irish.


Just an FYI......this type of nonsense is why nobody takes the Left seriously.
According to two people who claim to have knowledge,lol, about this subject .. those on the left must be "immature adolescent bullies" or they must be "racist". maybe both?

They don't say anything because they already know Biden is racist, they just don't care that he is.
