‘Do Democrats ever think?’ Politico under fire for pro-Walz report that’s ‘racist’ through and through

August 22, 2024 | | Print Article

Politico really stepped in it on Wednesday by publishing a racist, pro-Democrat Party propaganda piece that critics find very objectionable.

Everything about the piece/report reeks of racism, including its stunning headline: “In Tim Walz, Black women see the ‘right white man’ for VP.”

Notice how Politico capitalized black but left white in lowercase.

The piece goes on to report how race-obsessed Democrat black women are pleased with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s performance “as cheerleader and chief promoter of a [b]lack woman.”

Walz is, as previously reported, running to be vice president alongside presidential candidate Kamala Harris, a black woman.

One of the black women Politico spoke to was Brenda Coles of Virginia.

“He is the right white man for the job,” she told the outlet.

“Coles, donning a ‘Win With Black Women’ pen on the collar of her dress, said she appreciates that Walz, the Minnesota governor, does not appear intimidated by being a subordinate to ‘a [b]lack woman with the caliber’ of Harris,” Politico notes.

Harris was, as previously reported, a nobody who quickly rose up in power by having an affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, a man decades her senior.

Politico’s piece goes on to note how black women have been falling in love with Walz.

“In nearly two dozen interviews, Black women who serve as Democratic strategists, activists and elected officials and convention attendees, said they became Walz fans when he spoke at a rally with Harris in Philadelphia earlier this month,” it reads.

“Though many acknowledged they knew little about him at the time, many found themselves gravitating to the Midwestern governor for the same reasons other Democrats say they do,” the report continues. “They said they admire his working-class background, but also his signing of legislation that spoke to Black communities.”

Evidently, black Democrat women are very impressed with his supposed record as governor.

“It’s a natural fit and a natural partnership for a man who has dedicated his life to serving others,” Rep. Jennifer McClellan, a black woman, said of Walz’s transformation from radical governor to radical vice-presidential candidate.

“A 21-year-old delegate from Tennessee, Dottie Ferreira, got to hear Walz speak when he headlined the Black Caucus meeting at the DNC on Monday,” according to Politico. “She said he ‘had the crowd going, especially [b]lack women.’ It was a moment, she said, that made clear to her that Walz was capable of seeing beyond race.”

Sure thing …
