Well, this looks bad.
The New York Daily News’ Linda Stasi recently wrote up a post slamming FNC’s Kimberly Guilfoyle — and suggesting FNC should fire her — for reportedly dating Donald Trump Jr.:
STASI: @kimguilfoyle can’t report on the most powerful family in the country while dating one of them. @FoxNews @NYDailyNews @DonaldJTrumpJr @realDonaldTrump @POTUS https://t.co/zHEQ1iAfyl

STASI: @kimguilfoyle grabs these inappropriate men so fast after they leave their wives that they probably don’t even have time to close down their #AshleyMadison accounts and fire up @Tinder. @DonaldJTrumpJr @NYDailyNews https://t.co/zHEQ1iAfyl

And Stasi proceeded to stick her foot in her mouth:
Guilfoyle is Hispanic. pic.twitter.com/zmMyHxEel9

Guilfoyle is indeed half Puerto Rican. So … yeesh.

PROBLEM-ATIC. https://t.co/WCjY2k4O8c

Kinda, yeah.
So, was it intentional on Stasi’s part?
I really don’t think this was meant to be racist, so we should lay off the gotcha. That said, does anyone think that Guilfoyle is somehow going to become more partisan because of this? She is already Team Trump, and, btw, is not a reporter. She is a commentator. Vast difference.

If nothing else, Stasi mischaracterized Guilfoyle’s role at Fox News.
Imagine writing 400 words on this concept, without googling and discovering that Guilfoyle isn't a reporter https://t.co/DqtCyWK1Wp

The “picking grapes” line? That’s just problematic gravy.
In any event, we doubt Stasi will get called out by her liberal colleagues over it. After all, Guilfoyle’s the wrong kind of Latina.
But Republican, so perfectly acceptable.

Parting flashback:

Charming woman, that Linda Stasi.

Update:
Guess Stasi didn’t like the blowback:
