Dear GOP: Stop Cowering Before Bad-Faith Race Card Attacks
Federalist ^ | May 20,2020 | Mollie Hemingway

Have Some Self-Respect In the meantime, Republicans leaders should wake up. Racist attacks are a distraction specifically intended to shut down debate. Even more pathetic are Republicans who accuse Trump and his supporters of being racist because they think it will generate them good press. Quislings are never respected, and the media are all too happy to use spineless Republicans as a cudgel against the entire party and conservative movement.

Instead, Republicans need to drive home the message that accusing others of racism without merit is immoral and dangerously bad for our civic health. Grown adults need to learn how to have policy disagreements without accusing others of racism. McConnell should stop acting like he’s the good Republican and Trump is the bad Republican. To powerful voices in the media and social media mobs on the left, all Republicans are the same. There is no way to virtue signal enough for them, so stop doing it.

So to McConnell and other Republican leaders, the next time a pundit or columnist goes out of his way to attack you with vicious racial rhetoric, have some confidence and stand up for what you believe. Tell them to shut up and make an actual argument in defense of this country and her ideals. You know you want to.

The only people who talk about racism are the racists.

The GOP very well may be the key to the DNC finally getting what they want Nov. 5th.

Never happen. Liberals have learned that they can make any conservative quiver just by using the R word (and conservatives continually make it easy for them).
