This year’s RNC may be a grand old segregated party.
Republican National Convention organizers are scrambling to replace signs labeling a bank of elevators the “white elevators.”

It’s still tone-deaf.
They should change the sign to read “RACISTS” elevator to remove all doubt (sarc).

All they need is a meme. It will find airtime. I hope someone ID’s the perp on security video.
No, the media and Democrats are not stupid. They know there are a vast number of citizens that are though. So play the racial aspect, of which of course there is none, to sway voters away from Trump to Hillary.

Which of those groups is “racist”?
