Trump Jr Claps Back at Claire McCaskill for Accusing Campaign of Using Ben Carson

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is getting plenty of heat for tweeting her awful interpretation about why Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was squatting in the aisle of President Trump's plane on Tuesday. According to the Democrat, the Trump campaign was trying to use Carson as their token black surrogate.

One of these things is not like the others. Hint: they made him squat in the aisle so he was visible.


If McCaskill didn't regret her hot take after the first round of backlash, she sure did after this response from Donald Trump Jr.

Hi Claire,

Two problems with your tweet:

1. Dr. Ben Carson did not have a seat in this pic because he was sitting in First Class with my family

2. Dr. Carson is not a "thing," he is a world renowned, life-saving neurosurgeon

Anyway, how's unemployment? https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/1224766363014696960 …


A burn to end all burns.

Our own Julio Rosas had a pretty epic response too.

One of these things is not like the others. Hint: they made him squat in the aisle so he was visible.

It's more diverse than the Democratic debate stage.


If McCaskill really wanted to pinpoint an actual example of racism, she should have directed her ire toward the Pete Buttigieg campaign. One of the presidential candidate's young African-American supporters tweeted about how his campaign kept asking her to move away from her friends and toward the cameras at his victory rally in Iowa last night so they could feature his black supporters. Buttigieg's struggles with the minority community is no secret, so it appears that his campaign had an agenda.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley defeated McCaskill in the 2018 midterms.

Meanwhile, McCaskill is neither brilliant nor patriotic.

Sadly she was my senator. ...St. Louis and KC are to blame. ...and a bit from Springfield. Glad she is gone.

“...If McCaskill kept her mouth shut she wouldn’t get hooked. ...”

She can’t.

She’s the very essence of whenever a man says “Gee, what a stupid b*tch...”

Like most of them on that side of the aisle.

When the 2016 campaign began, Dr. Carson was my first choice. Then when he dropped out of the campaign, he told his supporters to vote for Trump. I’m glad I did.

To McCaskill , “they” all look alike to her.
The woman is so stupid she put lipstick on her forehead to makeup her mind.
