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.
Well said!
Not a real attorney. An Affirmative Action Attorney. Big difference.
“Max Cleland lost three of his limbs in VN,”
Not in combat. He wasn’t even on a mission at the time. He dropped a hand grenade and then picked it up improperly. But, he served, and did his duty, which is light years more than 95% of congressional Democrats.
If the face slips by, listen to the words, watch the deeds. RECORD the grievances as needed for all the world to see. Include the platforms that gave them amplification.
We’ve grown to expect this from CNN and a number of others.
The bully mob came out after her??????? WELL, I wounder the HELL WHY!!!!???? Stinking liberals!!! Good freaking grief how I hate liberals!!!!!!!!!!!! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! I hate liberals, PROGRESSIVES, their new title. I like @$$ holes better. IT fits their fat @$$e$ better.
Just sent cnn a piece of my mind
Which leads me to believe that Medi Pukes should be required to submit to the same backgrounds checks and scrutiny that is put upon every citizen who wishes to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
“Nelson is also a senior adviser to the Lincoln Project”
Does she report to ‘Mary Surratt !!!, at the ‘Lincoln Project?
So if I call her a “TDSen N—ga” in a twitter reply, that’s okay because the “N” work was common to a time? Then, after a black person ‘gracefully and classily’ sets me straight, I clarify that my comment was in no way meant to be a reflection of the black community. Yet in my next tweet, I say she’s still a “TDSen N,” does she still not see how that would be disingenuous and degrading?
Yeppers, they just say they “misspoke” and get a free pass. The hypocrisy is infuriating!
There, fixed it.
Stupid bitch comes to mind!!!!
[ They just always got an excuse to cover for his retarded ass! ]
Ooooh, she’s a bright one. Enjoy the blowback, sweetie.
Many times I have heard the elite class say aloud that they cannot understand how so many people voted for Trump and how we must be stupid, mentally challenged, dumb, fools, etc. Hence, the term used by many of the triggered who label us as "Trumptards". Even a blind fool can see how they equate us with "retards".
I have a different spin. ALL Presidents can be “retarded” at any given time. Some are more retarded than others and that goes for most politicians and judges. The media is mostly retarded. No president is king,god or perfect. President Trump has done a magnificent job at an almost impossible task during one of the greatest challenges in our history let alone the world. All the media,pundits and most pols offer is name calling,stupid ideas and asinine legislation further pushing Socialism.
What do her looks or her makeup have to do with anything?
Why do you find it necessary to compare her appearance with Kamala Harris? Is it because they are both black women?
Why is it necessary to turn Ms. Harris’ name into a vulgar reference to a woman’s genitals?
Isn’t it possible to simply address the issue and critique a person’s actions rationally, without putting all your own bigotries on display?
Hey!
If it’s good enough for Rahm (effing retards) Emmanuel, it’s good enough for her.
The term is now legit.
Because she slept her way to the top?
The term is a reference to women who choose to virtually display their "woman's genitals" in public.
Oh yes she does have class. A protected one
