MAGA man tries and fails to soft-pedal brutality and racism

“I never listen to you, but I do pass in from time to time.”That was how Mark from Texas began in a call to my SiriusXM program as I was discussing the so-called “Save Act” and the GOP’s bogus claim of “voter fraud. “It’s the usual passive-aggressive MAGA approach. They don’t want you to think they care what you have to say—but they care about what you have to say.This one, unlike most, was polite enough, though he did accuse me of “cherry picking” facts when it came to Trump’s brutality. Even just one act of brutally is bad enough, of course. But if we were cherry-picking all the terrible things Donald Trump has done, we’d have over 1000 bushels of cherries!The Signorile Report is free and reader-supported.

Thanks!First Mark tried to imply that Democrats want undocumented people to come into the country so that they would vote for Democrats. This, of course, is a variation of the racist Great Replacement Theory. But you can’t vote unless you’re a citizen—by law—yet Mark seemed to be implying these people were, when there’s no evidence, and wanted a law against it (though one exists) and then wanted people to promise not to vote for 20 years. It made no sense!I believe I gently wiped the floor with him in my response, and he then said he just had one thing to add and would get off the phone and “let” me “go.” In fact, he said this more than once, yet just stayed and kept asking questions, all of which I hit back at with truth in my answers.Twice he called me “intellectually dishonest.” I’ll let you be the judge of which of us met the definition of that.
