Democrats are discovering that their go-to “racist” accusation is finally losing its power.

Sheesh, it only took them two decades ...

Case in point, after Arizona Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari labeled Texas Rep. Brandon Gill the most racist Republican in Congress for highlighting concerns about Islamic influence creeping into American schools, Gill delivered a short, direct response that the tactic simply doesn’t work anymore.

it all started here:

He's right.

Sorry, not even sorry for saying so.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari jumped in to call him names because you know, that's what Democrats do.

Brandon Gill might be the most racist (and useless) Republican in Congress, and that’s saying something. https://t.co/6aK40cBvpe

You can likely already guess how Gill responded to her BS.

Calling us racist doesn’t work anymore. https://t.co/zXTTA37Xu3 pic.twitter.com/YpJFkYl3dh

The image he included here is very powerful.

It resonates strongly online as growing numbers of Americans grow tired of having legitimate worries about cultural change and women’s rights dismissed as bigotry. Gill’s blunt pushback underscores a shifting political landscape where the old smears are no longer enough to silence debate.
