Soledad O’Brien’s dedication to calling people who vote for Republicans racist runs deep.
The racism in the GOP runs deep. https://t.co/E1DJ0sHiQh

When your only argument is ‘everyone is RACIST,’ you’ve already lost, Soledad.
We’re not entirely sure what was racist about Rep. Matt Gaetz’s tweet … and seems he wasn’t sure either.
The lazy identity politics of the left runs so much deeper, Soledad. This is now what the political left offers America. Everyone is a racist. Give me a break. (Keep in mind I got this video from people inside the Honduran government through a senior US official) #OpenGaetz https://t.co/BJiSZVdVwW

It really is so lazy.
Oh, you disagree with us? RACIST.
Oh, you don’t want what we want? BIGOT.
That’s how they stay in their little bubbles, they label and lump people they disagree with into some dehumanized group they can insult and ignore. And if you watch the news lately, that they can attack and harm.
But we digress.
Actually Congressman, I don’t think everyone is a racist, though you are an excellent example of the challenge the GOP has around race and racism. Inviting a white nationalist to SOTU/ Racist comments to your colleagues. The laziness is yours, @mattgaetz Do better. https://t.co/qOEAx2ey6n

Wait, what?
Does she mean Chuckles Johnson? ROFL.
K.
This is what liberals do when they can’t defend open borders and enticement of illegal aliens 2 the detriment of Americans – attack the messenger, guilt by association, labeling. I’m in for a substantive debate on immigration. You just wanna call me a racist to avoid that debate https://t.co/v31CZDL5h6

See? That’s what we said.
Yes. But: so much silence from elected officials about Gaetz and Steve King and others. No condemnation. No calling out. It literally doesn’t even merit a mention. And yet, time and time again I highlight this issue. Silence. Weird, no?

Please correct me if I missed it, but were you silent when Farrakhan compared Jews to termites? The left frequently has selective enforcement as the self-appointed political correctness hall monitors. https://t.co/k5JGHyxBoL

Their selective enforcement is almost as embarrassing as their selective memories.
Just everyone that disagrees with you.

Wow, Soledad accuses the GOP of being racist a LOT.
Thank you for proving my point! https://t.co/Cfr4exAQnb

Huh?
You are blind, identity politics have no place in this country . We are all equal. It’s pundits or whatever you want to call yourself that further the fodder on this. I could go back and do the very same thing you have done here and you’d probably defend what the Democrats said

Of course, she would.
Which is why she didn’t bother to engage this Conservative woman in a real debate.
Don’t be mad at me because of the undercurrent—and overt current—of racism in the GOP.
— Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) October 18, 2018
*sigh*
Maybe people are mad because they’re tired of being called things they’re not … just spitballin’.
Thomas Sowell perhaps said it best.
"It is amazing how many people think that they can answer an argument by attributing bad motives to those who disagree with them. Using this kind of reasoning, you can believe or not believe anything about anything, without having to bother to deal with facts or logic."

Booyah.
Like Soledad herself said, she should do better.
