Tucker Rips CNN’s Toobin for Lazy, ‘Embarrassing’ Cries of Racism

If there’s one thing that CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin can’t be accused of, it’s keeping his opinions about President Trump a secret. He denounces the President seemingly every chance he gets. Lately, he’s taking to decrying many things the President does and says as somehow racist. During Wednesday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson called Toobin out for his hyperbolic wailing.

As he was teasing the segment ahead of a commercial break, Carlson dubbed such knee-jerk cries of racism as “the left's most common and laziest attack.” And as the segment began, he elaborated on that analogy by describing it as an “involuntary habit, a tick-like saying ‘God bless you’ after somebody sneezes. If they may not even be aware they are doing it.”

“Watch for example as noted TV person Jeffrey Toobin reduces the complicated meteorological phenomenon of hurricanes to a single word, yes, racism,” Carlson mocked.

What followed was a soundbite of Toobin declaring that Trump didn’t care about Puerto Ricans killed by Hurricane Maria because they weren’t white. “They are not white people and they don't count to Donald Trump as much as the deaths of white people,” he proclaimed.

Liberals say that word in their sleep

Like the man said:

The term “racist” is like ketchup, you can put it on anything.

Do you - and fellow Freepers - remember the story a few years back of Michael Obama sneaking out of the White House and shopping at a Target? Part of the story was a woman asked Michael if it could reach up and get something off a top shelf. A couple years later, Michael retold the story to make it sound as if the woman only asked because Michael is black,

Well, as luck would have it, I actually dated that woman for a few months back in 2017. She is short - 5'1" I believe - and she related the story to me. Full disclosure - this woman is a liberal and while at one time I had feelings for her, it did not work out. I believe her account and yet when I related to her that Michael states her request for assistance was racist in nature - how dare a white woman ask a black woman to do someething - my ex-date refused to believe me.

Her obstinance in the face of reality is one of the reasons I broke it off with her. I am now ready to accept the flames from my fellow Freepers for dating a liberal. Flame away!!!
