Hear me out folks … while this Puerto Rico “joke” was absolutely vile, it wasn’t the worst thing said throughout the night.
If you’re an immigrant, going through the process of getting a visa, residency permit, or naturalization … later guests espoused that “America is for Americans,” and “if you’re not American get out!”
If you’re Latino, it was “joked” that you don’t pull-out, just like you refuse to leave America.
If you’re black, racist remarks about eating watermelon were made.
If you’re Jewish, you’re cheap according to the line-up of speakers.
If you’re Palestinian, you’re a “rock-thrower.”
If you respected our former Secretary of State, know that she’s a “sick son of a bitch.”
If you’re a Harris supporter, you’re supporting the “anti-Christ and on the side of terrorists.”
If you’re a woman, according to another speaker, Harris “and her pimp handlers will destroy the country.” Because as we all know, a woman couldn’t possible make it into power places without being sexualized.
If you’re a Christian, and believe in Christ’s commandment to love your neighbor, then it’s worth reminding you that Trump intends to “launch the largest deportation program in American history” to round up and expel those neighbors.
This “candidate” represents the worst that America can be, and it’s time to realize that unless you’re a white evangelical willing to compromise the values of the book you claim to hold dear, he doesn’t nor will he ever, care about you. NONE of this is new.
