During Wednesday night’s vice presidential debate between Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence, I came across a Facebook post by a local GOP activist who is one of the ringleaders of Reopen Howard County, also known as the Christina Delmont-Small, Sezin Palmer, and Yun Lu fan club. The post was a live commentary on the debate, and the misogynoir directed at Senator Harris solidified my view that racism and hatred are a feature, not a bug, of the Republican Party. “Nasty bitch,” “tramp,” questioning her intelligence, and other such vile sentiments spewed by Howard County residents toward the Senator are shown below.
I suppose it’s a good thing when racists come out of the woodwork – it serves as a stark reminder that there is still so much work to be done.
