Kayleigh McEnany erroneously calls judge "Rhodes scholar," left mocks it but not troubled by Cecil Rhodes' racism

Here's one example:

"I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives."

Well, she made her error for the year.

Well, she is a scholar, and went to Rhodes College. Sort like how Gatsby went to Oxford.

I find it refreshing that we have someone that is not from an Ivy (or Stanford or U of Chicago) for college OR law school nominated.

You have to understand that he was probably talking about the British race, not the Caucasian race. I still say the American race. These days I do it intentionally just to piss off leftists.

And corrected herself and apologized the instant it was pointed out to her.

Given what happened when we stupidly helped destroy Rhodesia and helped it become the hellhole known as Zimbabwe I would probably say old Cecil knew a thing or two.

Big effing deal. No problem when Obama thought we had fifty seven states.

She was #1 in her class Norte Dame law school, summa cum laude.

That trumps Rhodes scholarships which can be favors.

Can we stop accepting the Left’s frame? “Racism” is a communist social construct. Don’t try to play on their playing field. It’s time stop caring if someone or something 100 years ago was “racist.”

The left is very troubled by Cecil Rhodes. There is talk at Oxford about renaming the scholarship and faculty voted to take down his statue there.

A Rhodes scholar is not a good thing. I’m glad to hear she isn’t one. I’ve always heard those were globalist-minded protégés, like Clinton who was a Rhodes scholar.

Ditto. Have often heard that same thing.

Rhodes scholar = cult of evil globalist elitists hellbent on destroying nations and populations.
Brainwashing at it’s prime.

Very glad she is not one.

I’m thankful she isn’t myself.
