I’m wondering what they’d do if a white Republican deliberately mispronounced Donna’s title & then instructed her to return “residence.” 😂 https://t.co/UIfiSCU6p6

What Would Occur if a White Republican…

“I’m wondering what they’d do if a white Republican deliberately mispronounced Donna’s title & then instructed her to return ‘residence,” Ramaswamy contemplated on X.

Ramaswamy, an Indian-American who was born in Ohio, apparently took “return residence” as that means returning to his ancestral nation. Whereas it wasn’t clear that Brazile meant that and will have simply meant she needed Ramaswamy to depart the presidential race, Ramaswamy does have a degree about how rapidly many would possibly leap to racist conclusions if the goal have been as an alternative a black individual and related issues have been stated.

The Ramaswamy marketing campaign framed Brazile’s feedback as “reverse racism.”

“Reverse racism is racism,” stated the marketing campaign’s communications director and senior adviser, Tricia McLaughlin, to the Daily Mail.

She added, “If that have been a white Republican they might be fired and torn to shreds on cable TV. Donna will most likely get an ‘atta boy’ from her colleagues. Gross.”

The most recent 5 Thirty Eight average of polls places Ramaswamy at 5.2% within the GOP major.
