House GOP leaders ask members to stop making racial attacks against Harris

 That is an actual headline from the Washington Post.  Republicans held a closed door meeting on Capitol Hill and implored (Not really) members to stop the racist attacks against Vice President Harris. The fact that they felt a need to do this says a great deal about the Republican Party and its members.

Almost immediately after President Biden announced Sunday that he was endorsing Harris to replace him on the ticket, Republicans began their offensive, with some veering into attacks over the race and gender of the first Black and South Asian woman to serve as vice president.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), in a post on X, called Harris a “DEI vice president” — referring to “diversity, equity and inclusion.” 

On Wednesday, Burchett said that while he wishes he hadn’t made those comments about Harris, “it was the truth.”

“It’s not racist behavior,” he told SiriusXM. “That’s the furthest thing from my mind. I just want the best players put in.”


No Tim its not racist at all. Its just racist.
