    Its the exact same shit they did to Obama. The trick is that McCain and Romney never went on record saying this bullshit. They had a gaggle of C-List news celebrities say it over and over again, while they would play the “I can’t believe someone would say OBAMA ISN’T BLACK that’s crazy who would think that?” game.

    But Trump isn’t a politician in the traditional sense. He is the C-List news celebrity who talks shit all day. The GOP doesn’t want the one-eyed Navy Seal who makes serious sounding noises all day running for President. Or the elite business genius who doesn’t care about all our beautiful aborted white babies because he’s too busy counting his (((money))). They literally want to put William F. Buckley in office. But he’s dead, so they’ll settle for the Cheeto Mussolini.

      I’m glad someone else remembers this bs. The right wingers attacked Obama in the same way because he was raised by a white single mother in Hawaii and later by an Indonesian step father overseas. Because these idiots don’t have a word for that, they attacked him as a pretender. But let’s be clear, they don’t do ambiguity because complexity loses them voters.

      Strangely the right wingers got something almost correct for a change. It’s true that the concept of “race” is both racist and artificial. It’s how you were raised that largely determines your culture. Obama wouldn’t fit in in Africa. True. But he was raised as an American. THAT MEANS HE’S AMERICAN.

      The same is true for Harris. Its sad that she’s going to get attacked for being raised by an Indian-American-Jamacian mother in oaktown (which was predominantly black back then) because of stupidity and the great orange puff’s lack of self control

      (((money)))

      Man it’s been a long time since I saw this in the wild. Isn’t the “(((___)))” supposed to signify “Jew” in a bad way?

        Conservative bloggers thought they’d come up with a super clever code to do antisemitism without getting flagged for it, but it just turned into a big joke.
