Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez let all of American know how she really feels about the people during a recent podcast interview.
During the interview with Pod Save America, AOC told the host that she believes Trump supporters to be racist, they’re just too stupid to know it.
The biggest flaw in her sad excuse for logic is that she assumes that only white people support President Trump while ignoring the fact that there are many black and Hispanic people that support him as well. I highly doubt that she would call them racist as well.
Here’s what she said:
“First of all, the biggest mistake that we have — and it’s a trap that gets set by the Right, whether intentionally or unintentionally — is just the frame of asking, ‘Is blank racist?’
It’s not about asking are Trump voters racist. We need to talk about racism, not racists. Racist — it’s a very two-dimensional, boring conversation. Is something racist, yes or no?
We need to talk about racism, its contours, its histories, where it manifests, how it’s used, because like all winning political phenomena, whether good or bad in your opinion, they rely on collation building.
So there are a lot of people that support Trump that genuinely don’t believe that they are racist because we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism.
And because we do not do that we get caught in this debate of is something racist and then someone uses their defensiveness and they say ‘well it’s not racist because I’m not racist and I believe this thing because it’s economic in nature.’”
