Scaramucci posted:
trump card Calling Vice President Harris “stupid” is not only unhinged, it shows that he is a racist. You can’t call someone as accomplished as Vice President Harris stupid unless you’re implying something else. He needs to be condemned for this nonsense. This is 2024, not 1947, and we are not going back to the past.
This is one of the oldest racial stereotypes and racist attacks. People with darker skin are not smart. This racism is how America justified slavery.
Scaramucci also went on CNN to discuss the news that Trump is scared of:
Anthony Scaramucci says Trump is scared, “Believe it or not, this is a frustrated Donald Trump. He’s looking at the poll numbers, and when he plays the accordion, he’ll tell you he’s in the polls What a performance in the survey. pic.twitter.com/k0UIlsCQhQ

Trump is losing; He is already swimming in the cesspool of racism. Trump hopes he can exploit America’s ugly racist undertones to get voters to reject Harris, just as he got voters to reject Hillary Clinton because she is a woman.
A lot has changed over the past decade. What Trump got away with in 2016 is unlikely to come to pass in 2024, but make no mistake: The former president was scared and used racism.
