A CNN pundit took heavy online ridicule for her word choice on Tuesday, after referring to President Donald Trump as retarded in a now-deleted social media post.
Sophia Nelson, who describes herself as a frequent guest on CNN, was reacting to a critical tweet about the president from fellow anti-Trump Republican Rick Wilson, when she replied, They just always got an excuse to cover for his retarded ass!
The backlash came quickly against Nelson, the former GOP counsel for the House Oversight Committee, and she explained that she deleted her comment after the father of a special needs child called her out with class and grace for using the derogatory term. Nelson then noted that the nasty ass twitter bully mob still came after her.
Nelson admitted that she understood why the word retarded is offensive to many people, yet she continued to defend herself for her choice of language. She argued that she used the word because it was used frequently among people of her generation in the past, while asserted that referring to the president as retarded was being kind.
Nelson is also a senior adviser to the Lincoln Project, whose mission is to defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box. Mr. Wilson is a co-founder of the initiative.
When a reporter from the Daily Caller pointed out Nelsons position, she doubled down and insisted on calling the president retarded once again.
This is a great hit job you guys are attempting because I called Trump a retarded ass. He is that, Nelson wrote. This has zero reference to disabled or special needs persons.
cultural appropriation.

Uniparty. Anyone still thinking they can get away with pretending to be confused about where the Never Trump “right” comes from?
Maybe there is a new strategy for employment with a MSM propaganda outlet. Work as a pretend Republican for a while then get the CNN gig as a Republican who bashes Republicans.
Some here think we should “hold our noses” and vote for trash like this, if they run under the GOP banner.
What I’d like to know is what *specific* issue she takes with the President. My guess is that, beyond the tweets, it is that President Trump is actually installing conservative judges, enforcing immigration law with no amnesty, not wanting to bomb the world, not buying into climate accords, and not passing gun control. All of the above would be on the opposite positions of Jeb, McCain, Romney and W.
she is a brainless twit!!!!
An “excuse” for an economy that was going gangbusters until it got shut down? An “excuse” for taking out terrorists? An “excuse” for the beginning of detente with North Korea? An “excuse” for great trade deals with more coming? An “excuse” for keeping a long-standing promise to an ally to move the embassy? An “excuse” for an intrepid response to a pandemic?
Who’s “retarded” again?
Nelson, the former GOP counsel for the House Oversight Committee

Just what I was going to post.
The GOP does not vet their people well, but then a lot of Deep State operatives are in the GOP.
Oh yes she does have class. A protected one ****
Yep how true my friend.
You nailed it, thanks!

Why that's just...you know.
Typical Progressive. What else is there to say about her?
Somebody should have tweeted that she is sounding like a
“B*tch straight from the Ghetto!”
Pretty, nasty and black is no way to go through life in the new America. Stick to pretty, black and nice, lady. It will do wonders for your insanity and will stop your “dissing” decent black Americans who do not think and act like you.
#10. NO! “If she’s in Rick Wilson’s circle she’s INSANE AS CHARLES MANSON. Birds of a feather and all that”.
1. That's not her real hair - but culturally appropriated "European White Women" hair
2. A person who uses this phrase on national television is incapable of writing a book: "They just always got an excuse to cover for his retarded ass!" I wonder who "helped her"?
A few years ago, I took a masters course in "Black Studies" (they actually called it a "Africana, Black Power, and Diversity" or something like that) at a major university.
We spent hours discussing the "Politics of Black Hair" and many more on the "White-centric concepts of beauty."
Wigs, weaves, coloring, straightening.....it goes on and on. Black women spend millions upon millions of dollars on this stuff, and for many it is an absolute obsession.
What a fat stupid vagina.
