Someone needs to explain to Jennifer Rubin how gross and racist her tweet about Biden announcing a woman of color as his running mate as a means to add ‘pizzazz’ to his campaign is.
You add pizzazz to an outfit with a scarf or some other accessory.
You don’t add a human being, especially a woman of color, to a campaign to make it more exciting. To add PIZZAZZ.
Tacky, Jenn.
Biden needs to keep hitting at Sanders, but he should also consider announcing an exciting running mate, possibly a woman of color. Stacey Abrams orK Harris would add pizzazz and offer the hope of a female AA president in 2024. https://t.co/i2EMwoYlWj

Jennifer, WOC are not an ‘accessory.’
So black women are just political props to make a candidate look good? Wow. Wow. Wow.

You mean like a….what's the word I'm looking for here?
Anybody?
Token – that's the word!
Joe should get himself a token black woman?
Is that what you're saying?
Because it sure sounds like that's what you're saying.— Sheik Yerbouti (@YerboutiSheik) February 24, 2020
Tokenism is racism, Jen.
Looking to parade a WOC around for 'pizzazz points' is pretty gross.
You're such a lefty

Crazy, right?
My sides….
Seriously, thank you for this hilarious tweet.

.How is it possible to be so cliché-ridden? Have you ever had an original thought, an ounce of wit?

So instead of people who can do a job, you hire them because of skin color….now that’s racist

He could also pull out a bottle of hot sauce from his inner jacket pocket. Or he could full Northam, and start wearing blackface. That seems to excite the Democratic base.

Remember how Hillary would change her accent as she traveled the country? ‘I ain’t in no ways TIIIIARED.’
Stacey would have to give up her Governorship ?

HA HA HA HA HA
Crazy that you talk about people of color the same way that you’d talk about a shiny new necklace

It’s what liberals do.
