I don't know about the rest of them, though I certainly have my suspicions, but with gillibrand it's very clearly just racism. That interview she gave was extremely telling.
It's rich people. The reason is rich people.
Rich is a symptom of reduced empathy
The willingness to exploit systems & labor for fun & profit
“Gillibrand apologized for mischaracterizing Mamdani’s record and for her tone on the call,” the readout said.
Guess which other party apologizes when they're wrong
Yes she's very sorry the mask came off.
Well, and she admitted she was wrong. Publicly. So.
I mean b0tH SiDeZ and all that but still.
Every politician will eat shit when they have something that they want
"Rubio apologizes for ‘below the belt’ remarks about Trump’s appearance"
Notice how she apologized for "mischaracterizing" and for her tone? Yeah. Because she know she would do that.
The entire point is to mischaracterize the position and spread racist xenophobia. Why can liberals know exactly what this is when conservatives do it to black people but when racist Zionist do it to brown people they think "well, they apologized by saying 'it wasn't totally accurate'"
Don't believe these people trying to fight progress by trying to appeal to Americans racism and xenophobia. They aren't your allies. They aren't good people. They are trying to keep them and their corrupt friends in power. That's it.
That's quite a conspiracy theory you got there. Is it not possible she was wrong and then admitted it?
It's not a conspiracy theory mate. Republicans do it all the time. Signal racism and then say "oh I didn't mean it like that".
That's all she's done. She just did it with the liberal aesthetic you enjoy.
Disagree. She’s not a republiQan.
She was wrong, she admitted it and apologized and you want to claim that means she’s a racist. You’re wrong.
I think being born during the time of 9/11 has broken your and many Americans brains. Muslim fear mongering and racism is such a fundamental part of America that you can't seem to recognize how insane what she said was.
So much so that a half ass "apology" like she gave is enough for you I guess.
HAHAhahahaha! GTFO!
I'm talking about the normalization of Islamphobia that followed. Racism towards Arabs in this country has reached the point of 1930s Germany and it's antisemitism.
You not easily recognizing it isn't your fault. But you denying it and playing defense for it is absolutely your fault. Do better.
Sure thing. You realize you're really, really wrong right? No?
You know when you think someone is wrong you should probably provide evidence or reason for WHY you think that?
Just saying "wrong" is what Trump does.
she isnt sorry said she said that, she sorry she got called out.
Disagree
Oh so she’s going to back him now then?
I read that… but it unfortunately did not answer the question. But they play vague on purpose.
