Tennessee GOP Senator Marsha Blackburn recently posted a short message pointing out that Critical Race Theory is actually a pretty racist approach to life:
Critical race theory is wrong for the nation because it teaches our children to hate America and judge each other for our differences. pic.twitter.com/I4naMQxm3z

Given what Critical Race Theory proponents themselves have said about Critical Race Theory, we’re not really sure what’s wrong with anything Blackburn said in either her tweet or the video.
But then, we’re not as smart as Vox’s Aaron Rupar:
They’re just making stuff up to get mad about now https://t.co/x80wQqzPQ6

Credit to Aaron for not deceptively editing a video for a change. But that’s really the only thing he did right in this case. Because, as usual, he’s misrepresenting Blackburn’s remarks. He’s accusing her of “just making stuff up to get mad about now,” even though Blackburn did no such thing.
What's being made up Aaron? https://t.co/FPGfkwueyN

To be fair, Aaron Rupar is very familiar with people who make stuff up. Because, well, he’s Aaron Rupar, a hack who literally gets paid to make stuff up.
Lmao these assholes be like “Republicans don’t want children learning about slavery” and then turn around and accuse OTHERS of “just making stuff up.”

How can even talk about someone making something up without losing his mind? The cognitive dissonance is strong.
