“Training wheels” - “racist.”
The epithet has been so overused it’s only good for a chuckle at this point.

“Bugaboo’ isn’t bad, but that’s not what he actually said.

Can someone explain why the phrase “training wheels” is somehow racist or misogynistic? It's not. It's just an excuse to rant. Nowadays, for many of the DEI types supposed racism is their entire being.

Trone was previously accused of racism in March, when he said he used an antiquated racial slur during a hearing. He issued an apology and clarified that he meant to say “bugaboo.”

David “Jigaboo” Trone should consider trying out as a comedian in his off hours. While he claims the word he intended was bugaboo, what he actually uttered could be considered a gaffe in the classic sense of inadvertently saying what he really meant. “Training wheels” might be accurate, but the ratchet, re the kinds of acceptable words that might be used in reference to blacks, keeps slouching towards Wakanda.

The target of the “training wheels” barb is a “black” woman, so even though the comment was made by a “black” woman it is considered “racist” and “sexist” by those who love to wallow in faux victimhood. These same people no doubt had a lot of fun mocking Sarah Palin in her day and probably have no qualms about mocking Marjorie Taylor Greene as we speak.

I recognize that as a white man, I have privilege. People might listen if he "recognized" that he is an idiot.

I want the majority in the senate even with warts.
I heartily agree with your characterization of Hogan as a wart.

I didn’t know that TRAINING WHEELS is racist and sexist! I guess this Deplorable Family adopted 6 year old should learn how to ride a bike WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS!! I will call up Trek Bikes and tell them that they shouldn’t have TRAINING WHEELS on their bikes... 🤓

Yes - that is the enduring image of January 6th. The day America’s leaders were firmly and finally revealed to be clowns.

Their natural response to being told their Constituents were in the building was to don their gas masks, and hide under their desks.
