MSNBC analyst: Iowa caucuses 'essentially the perfect example of systemic racism'
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/04/20 | Andrew Mark Miller

MSNBC political analyst Zerlina Maxwell referred to the Iowa caucuses as the “perfect example of systemic racism.”

Reacting to reports of mediocre turnout, Maxwell also took a shot at President Trump's hard-line immigration policies.

“The Iowa caucus is essentially the perfect example of systemic racism,” Maxwell said Monday on MSNBC. “91% of the voters in Iowa are white. The reason why you see a drop in turnout, I’m just speculating here, it could be perhaps that white children are not in the cages.”

Maxwell is not alone in claiming that white people have an outsized influence in the Iowa caucuses. The Washington Post recently ran an opinion piece with the headline "Why the Iowa caucuses are even whiter than you think."

An immigrant’s rights legal advocacy group installed cages across the city of Des Moines in the hours leading up to the caucuses containing what were made to represent children sleeping under blankets to raise awareness of the Trump administration's detention of unaccompanied minors who cross the southern border illegally.

What a mess. Can't wait for the convention water cannons.

She’s absolutely correct. Blacks and Hispanics do NOT participate in the caucuses.

She is saying that Democrats are racist. Which is, of course, true.

Obviously Iowa must not be allowed to vote in national elections.

“91% of the voters in Iowa are white.

Obama's border policies were supposed to fix that. But they all wind up in California, where they aren't needed.

Kneejerk libtard assumptions.

That’s what you get when you don’t think and shout 1 or two word slogans.

Gee! this criticism after Soros and the DNC went to the effort of busing in hundreds of people from Chicago to vote in the caucus.

Is there no pleasing them?

Nor are black children. Nor are native-born Hispanic children. Amazingly, only people without visas seem to have this problem.

Trump is fixing the problem though, with Mexico's help. They can all stay together in Mexico in the camps that have been thoughtfully provided. Or, knowing they won't get across into the US, they can stay home and work things out there.

Not good enough. The only way to end systemic racism is all white people must not be allowed to vote in national elections.

I joke, but wait 2 years and this will probably be in Op-Eds across the country.

Meh. Why the hell not?

I’m waiting for when the first Dem drops the “worse than Nazis” charge at their opponent’s campaign.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race.

Sound like anybody you know, Zerlina?

What is wrong with these liberals? My guess is 99.999992% of the people involved are white. All the screw-ups are white, all the crooks are white, all the victims are white, and all the unjust winners are white. If there was ever an event that had less to do with Black Americans’ lives, this is it.

This dame should be happy, I know I am as an R. This nonsense ain’t got nothing to do with moi!

If voting is down, maybe the dogs just don’t like the dog food.

But that reason doesn’t rile up righteous indignation the way allegation of racism does.
