She’s just letting her true colors to come shining through. Like all demonicRATS, she’s a racist.

When I drove a cab in the 70s in Alexandria, section 8 runs to the liquor store went off the charts at the end of each month when the welfare checks came in.

You'd think she would have learned her lesson last year when she said black children don't know what computers are.

Paternalistic, but not wrong. Oddly enough, my opinion of her is improved by this episode, but that’s from a very low base.

Actually, just the sort of advice you should expect to hear from a speaker standing at the pulpit of a church. “And maybe a little bit to support God’s house, as well.”

[Apparatchik]

She want to be da new Massa.

[Fury]

Good grief, this lady is a racist.

[RoosterRedux]

If a white person says anything in a black church that doesn’t coddle the congregation or demean white people, they are going to be skewered.

Talk about "leaning" into racial stereotypes!

I'm surprised she didn't reference specific brands associated with the Black community!

The State makes no money from crack sales. Buy weed...but only from State dispensaries.

[Hyman Roth]

But they will still vote democrat

[minnesota_bound]

and no fried chicken or Ripple!

[equaviator]

She could’ve just suggested that they not spend it all in one place but then people would still have a problem with it or make assumptions about what that one place was supposed to be.

“inflation refund” checks”

What a joke. Dem vote buying on display. Taxpayers are so abused in NY.
