As Twitchy reported, the Left couldn’t contain themselves after a photo emerged of a planeful of Trump supporters in MAGA hats with HUD Secretary Ben Carson posing in the aisle. Of course, it was racist: either they wouldn’t let the black man have a seat, or they propped him up in the middle of the photo to show some diversity. “Rosa Parks fought so hard so … Ben Carson could kneel in the aisle of a plane full of bigots,” tweeted one wit.
Among those making racist comments about the photo was former senator Claire McCaskill, who tweeted that they made Carson squat in the aisle so he was visible.
One of these things is not like the others. Hint: they made him squat in the aisle so he was visible. pic.twitter.com/aFxrRRjbPi

Donald Trump Jr. chimed in to let McCaskill know why Carson didn’t have a seat.
Hi Claire,
Two problems with your tweet:
1. Dr. Ben Carson did not have a seat in this pic because he was sitting in First Class with my family
2. Dr. Carson is not a "thing," he is a world renowned, life-saving neurosurgeon
Anyway, how's unemployment? https://t.co/icZKsu9YFn

In case anyone was wondering where Ben Carson’s seat was on the Team Trump plane – just check First Class top left. Thanks for playing Claire. pic.twitter.com/HxyHKz7PHp

The Trump family is so racist they made Carson sit in first class with them … just like Rosa Parks.

Someone call 9-11.
There has been a murder.
THIS IS SO BRUTAL ????

McCaskill wasn’t done yet, though:
Ummm. Pretty sure pointing out a lack of diversity is not racist. Sorry Trump world.

Here is McCaskill’s staff. Very diverse!@DonaldJTrumpJr pic.twitter.com/p7YpyU16bD

@clairecmc, this funny coming from you. How many African-Americans did you hire during your time in the U.S. Senate?
If I recall, you lost your Senate seat because of your inability to target and engage black voters. Oh, the irony of this coming from you — truly sad. https://t.co/sHPAiLIJhS

Calling him a thing, saying that he was put there to be 'visible' (aka token) and not even thinking that its possible that he had the ability to think for himself and put himself there was pretty damn racist.
Also he had a seat up in first class with the family.

Cool, because there sure is a lack of diversity among the Democrat POTUS candidates.
— Samuel Culper 722 (@politiwars) February 4, 2020
It's more diverse than the Democratic debate stage.

Damn, lady, you are a racist.

You sound like a huge racist, lady.

Imagine being @clairecmc and thinking everything is about race.

You’re racist. That is all.

You’re a racist piece of trash. Shame on you.

Are you trying to be racist or relevant? I’m lost here.

You’re racist. Gross.

What a weird thing for a homeless liberal ex senator to say about a brain surgeon.
— Carpe Donktum? (@CarpeDonktum) February 4, 2020
Congratulations on picking out the only neurosurgeon on the airplane, Claire.
— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) February 4, 2020
Always cute when someone with an IQ half of their numerical age calls a brilliant and gifted neurosurgeon with an incredible intellect who also just happens to be a black man and a Trump supporter a “thing”. Pathetic.
— Kevin Jones (@kjpa) February 4, 2020
Did you just call a black man a “thing”?
Wow.
I’m so glad you lost your seat in the Senate.

You mean the Neurosurgeon?

You've become a cranky old witch. Glad to see the real Claire front and center.
