Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance has once again managed to step into a controversy that is getting him blasted on social media as the “KKK whisperer” and could do further damage to the GOP ticket.
NBC News asked Vance about remarks made recently by right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who wrote on Twitter/X that if Kamala Harris is elected president, the White House “will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center.”
According to journalist John Harwood, Vance refused to condemn Loomer and her disgusting comment, instead suggesting that he preferred fried chicken.
“Whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies,” Vance said.
NBC asked JD Vance about Laura Loomer's racist statement that the WH would "smell like curry" if Harris wins.
Calling it unimportant, Vance replied:
"whether you're eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies."
Washed-up professional wrestler Hulk Hogan made a complete horse’s ass out of himself at last month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, ripping off his shirt and declaring it was time to “let Trumpmania run wild,” leaving some in the audience to suggest that it was inappropriate to have such a spectacle at a political convention.
And now Hogan could be in serious trouble with the U.S. Secret Service for remarks he made in Ohio on Monday evening, Mediaite reports.
During an event in Medina, Ohio to promote his new Real American Beer, Hogan called out to the crowd, “You want me to body slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? I said, do you want me to body slam Kamala Harris?! You want me to drop the leg on Kamala?”
He continued, “Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” before raising his left hand and saying, “How,” in imitation of a stereotypical native American, or “American Indian.”
Seconds later, Hogan admitted his comments might not have been such a good idea.
“I’m gonna get heat for that one, brother. That was not me, that was the beers talking.”
Hogan might want to go ahead and clear some space on his schedule for the next few days because he could be getting a visit from federal authorities, who are already on alert after a man took shots at failed former president Donald Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
This isn’t the first time Hogan has proven his bigot bonafides.
In 2020, he was banned from All-Elite Wrestling (AEW), according to Forbes.
“Though it wasn’t explicitly expressed in the tweet, Hogan’s banishment from AEW likely stems from a series of racist comments he made on tape in 2015. Hogan was fired from WWE and wiped from its Hall of Fame before awkwardly rejoining the company in 2018. Hogan’s return to WWE was accompanied by an ill-fated plea for forgiveness from the WWE locker room. The stunt did not go well, resulting in public criticism from too-good-for-WWE Superstar and philanthropist Titus O’Neil.”
Twitter users also had some thoughts on Hogan’s latest comments.
I am not a Democrat, but I am an American, and a Christian. These violent and racist statements from recent Republican Convention speaker Hulk Hogan regarding Vice President Kamala Harris are abhorrent. The RNC should immediately condemn this.#GOP
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly found out the hard way Monday evening that sometimes it’s better to remain silent than speak and let the internet know what a racist sack of human dung you are.
Reacting to a speech from Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) at the opening night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention in which Butler noted that both she and Vice President Kamala Harris had graduated from historically black colleges, Kelly posted this on Twitter:
“Laphonza Butler spkg – (she filled Feinstein’s seat) – celebrating that she and Harris both graduated from historically black colleges. Imagine the white person up there: I’m proud to tell you I went to a mostly white university!”
Laphonza Butler spkg – (she filled Feinstein’s seat) – celebrating that she and Harris both graduated from historically black colleges. Imagine the white person up there: I’m proud to tell you I went to a mostly white university!
Of course, if Kelly knew a damn thing about American history, she’d know why black colleges and universities were created in the first place, as the Thurgood Marshall College Fund notes on their website:
“Black students were unwelcome at existing public and private institutions of higher education (IHEs), even after the passing of specific legislation, resulting in a lack of higher education opportunities.”
Kelly was then dragged on social media.
What do you expect from the person who said, "Sorry, but Santa is white," and to this day does not see what the problem is?
Was there a period of time where white people were denied college access so they needed to create alternative institutions to combat systematic oppression?
According to Fox News contributor Charles Gasparino, American voters should be terrified by the prospect of President Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race for the White House. Why? Because, Gasparino alleges in an article he wrote for the New York Post, Biden’s departure would clear the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to potentially be president of the United States.
Why is Gasparino so apoplectic about Harris as U.S. head of state? Well, because she’s a black woman, of course.
In his op-ed, Gasparino writes, “There is a raging debate in corporate America on the future of DEI, aka Diversity Equity and Inclusion, because it is literally destroying businesses that go there.”
“And yet the American public may soon be subjected to DEI writ large in the next president of the United States, if Kamala Harris finds her way to the top of the Democratic ticket while Joe Biden wilts away as the party’s presidential nominee after his horrific debate performance.”
“Yes, maybe the most irrepressibly fatuous politician in America may become the leader of the free world because the Democratic Party is unable to break its DEI stranglehold.”
Wouldn’t Harris be the logical choice to replace Biden if he were to step aside? After all, she’s been his vice president for four years and was part of the team that helped implement the Biden agenda. She’s also sharp as a whip, a brilliant debater, and has never lost an election.
Gasparinio’s column set off a firestorm of negative reactions on social media, where many commenters noted that he should have just called her the N-word and embraced his blatant racism.
DEI is a dog whistle for another word….

Just call her the N Word and get it over with.

But don't call Republicans racists. It hurts their feelings.

More proof that “DEI” as a perjorative has nothing to do with actual qualifications and is just a way for people to be racist
Convicted felon Donald Trump held what was billed as a “black roundtable” at a Detroit church on Saturday, but based on reports from the event, the vast majority of the audience was lily white.
“Donald Trump’s campaign on Saturday launched a coalition group targeting Black voters as the former president campaigned in Detroit in an effort to win over a segment of the electorate that has long overwhelmingly backed Democrats.”
“Trump held a community roundtable at the predominantly Black 180 Church in Detroit, where he was joined by two Black Republicans — Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson — who were part of the launch of the ‘Black Americans for Trump’ group.”
While he was at it, the disgraced ex-president also bragged that he had done “more for the Black population than any American president since Abraham Lincoln,” which is an odd statement considering that Trump has routinely suggested that African Americans accused of crimes should be executed.
However, it was the preponderance of white faces at the Detroit event that led to the most discussion on social media, where some people called the event a scam.
I thought it was primarily a Black church¿🧐 What did they do kick them ALL out¿🤣😂🤣
