Appearing as a guest on Wednesday's CNN Newsroom, CNN senior political reporter Nia-Malika Henderson claimed that the Republican party has been "playing the race card" for "many decades" as she commented on Republican reaction to President Donald Trump's recent comments in which he seemed to give cover to white racist rally participants in Charlottesville.
At 9:08 a.m. ET, after recounting Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio's reaction to Trump's comments, Henderson continued:
CNN's Henderson Claims GOP Have 'Played the Race Card' for 'Many Decades'
I think you have Republicans who are going to have to figure out what they're going to do with this President. I mean, they obviously like his agenda, and they have to figure out whether or not backing that agenda ultimately means that they are going to be standing beside a President who in word seems to have some sympathies for white supremacists. That's a major, major thing for them and the Republican party.
She then added:
Remember, the Republican Party has tried to get away from that. I think they're going to have to do some soul-searching in terms of their own history of kind of playing the race card, racial polarization through these last many decades. And Donald Trump is just the most, I think, egregious outgrowth of what we've seen from Republicans for many decades.
A bit later, she fretted over conservatives supporting increased border security without acknowledging there are legitimate, non-racist reasons for wanting to see better security:
I think we also forget the ways in which Donald Trump's presidency was in some ways based on racial resentment and racial grievance politics -- this idea of building a wall, this idea of banning Muslims from certain countries, this idea of deporting illegal immigrants. Remember, when he announced, he talked about Mexicans as rapists. I mean, you know, I think we talk about sort of the economic piece of it -- there's also a cultural nationalist piece as well.
No, that is the Democrat Party.
The first of many.
Again, and again, and again.
And they remain completely unaware that they are doing it.
“this idea of building a wall, this idea of banning Muslims from certain countries, this idea of deporting illegal immigrants”
Does this dope have any idea as to how the open borders have prevented so many blacks from entering the middle class (while plenty of immigrants move right up in one generation)? Blacks shouldn’t kid themselves about allying themselves with Hispanics; the latter (even black ones) feel no affinity whatsoever.
Paid leftist racist race-pimps.
Leftist hero LBJ said,...The Ni**ers will be voting DEMOCRAT for 200 years”. What a prophet! The Plantation is stronger now than before the Civil War. These imbeciles will say anything because it is believed and taught in government schools and news. >47% of Americans are RETARDED to American history and have zero critical thinking skills.
She lives in Fantasyland...like most liberals...
Good point. It seems the only things the left care about have something to with a penis, a vagina, an anus, or the amount of melanin in one’s skin or lack of.
Sounds like a sad sack way to go through life to me.
Oh, they are aware, they just don’t care.
Kinda like voting for a known criminal for President; no problem as long as she had a vagina at one time.
Once again, like I just said in an earlier post, they only care about 4 things, a penis, a vagina, an anus, and melanin or lack thereof. If the issue doesn’t have something in some way to do with those 4 things you can’t even get them to talk about it.
Sounds like a sad sack way to go through life to me.
The Democrats are following Joseph Goebbels dictum: “. . . when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it.”
The sad truth is, IT IS WORKING!
Wake up America!
