Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau called out President Donald Trump for saying Rep. Maxine Waters “a very low IQ individual” at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. But there’s just one problem…
The President went to Pennsylvania, singled out a black Congresswoman from California, and called her stupid.
That’s not race-baiting. That’s racist.

…”If everything is racist, then nothing is racist” and that’s exactly what Favreau has done here:

It’s one thing to call out Trump for calling Waters stupid, but that doesn’t mean it was racist:

And it’s not even accurate that Trump only called Waters a “very low IQ individual.” He mentioned Nancy Pelosi in the same sentence:
He called out Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters in the same sentence multiple times.https://t.co/c3JXdCTkOn https://t.co/sRR6OBpmmH

Here’s the exact quote:
“We have to defeat Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters, a very low I.Q. individual,” Trump said, eliciting boos from the crowd. “You ever see her? You ever seen her? You ever see her? ‘We will impeach him! We will impeach the president!’ But he hasn’t done anything wrong. It doesn’t matter, we will impeach him! She’s a low I.Q. individual. You can’t help it. She really is.”
Plus, Trump calls white people stupid all the time:
Actually no. Trump insults white people all the time. As you may be the next one to discover, he’s an equal oppportunity ass-kicker https://t.co/l7nzh1uQGg

Stop lying @jonfavs. Trump did not single out a black woman.
– Low Energy Jeb
– Crooked Hillary,
– Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd
– ‘Liddle’ Bob Corker
– Crazy Bernie
– Little Adam Schiff
– Cryin’ Chuck Schumer
– Goofy Elizabeth Warren
– Dumb as a rock Mika
– Sloppy Michael Moore https://t.co/5bCu4wrwtk— John Cardillo (@johncardillo) March 11, 2018
And here’s Hillary staffer Brian Fallon bitching that Chuck Todd asked why phony Native American Elizabeth Warren won’t take a DNA test to prove her heritage once and for all:
Next the Sunday shows will be asking Waters to just take an IQ test: 'Why not put these allegations that you are not smart to rest?'https://t.co/W1ikm2UhDk
