Just listening to Mike Gallagher playing clip of HC on the Today show....talking about Obama’s lack of “Spade Work Experience” ... something to that effect. MG is mystified as to what she means by “Spade work.” Anybody else hear this and willing to speculate on what she meant?
No she didn’t :)
Sounds racist to me!
“Spade work” is a gardening term. It’s the hard part of getting a garden ready....really before the onset of tillers.
In any case, it’s still an unusual context to be using the word “spade” when talking about a black man.
