Journalists:
Stop using weak and cravenly worded phrases re whether “the country is ready to elect an African American woman.” Be direct and unapologetic with the question:

👉 Is America STILL a home to so many racists, bigots, and misogynists that a highly educated, experienced, and qualified candidate like Vice Pres. Kamala Harris can’t get elected when running for POTUS against a 78-year-old White rapist, fraudster, and insurrectionist?

@BPStuart The journalists are wording it this way on purpose. Who do they work for?

It was worded that way on MSNBC. I can’t recall if it was Katy Tur or Jen Psaki who said it. It was within the past hour. To make sure my quote was accurate, I rewound it three times.

@BPStuart Ah. My bad. It’s usually the NYT or WaPo. You’re absolutely right. They should know better and need to smarten up.

I’ve heard many journalists, both in print or television, use that phrasing or close to it, regularly. It really ticks me off. What I really found disgusting was that all of the major media would speak of Trump using distortions, fabrications, inaccuracies, etc., etc. It took years before those jackasses would accuse Trump of doing exactly what he had been doing: lying, telling lies faster than they could be fact, checked. That helped trump significantly.

@BPStuart For some reason the press behaves like no matter who they are, Dems need to justify their existence and worthiness while the GOP can be as horrific as they want without apology. It is beyond frustrating and I’m not even an American. The Dems need to kick this shit to the curb and push back hard.
