Republicans Are Race-Baiting a Republican

The NRSC goes after Doug Collins for the crime of hanging around Black people.
Rep. Doug Collins is a Georgia Republican, and as the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee he was one of President Trump’s most vociferous defenders during the impeachment saga. He’s running for Senate now. Standing in his way is Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Republican businesswoman appointed to the seat in December when her predecessor stepped down with health issues.

The two will square off in November in what has become a bitter fight pitting various factions of the Republican political machine against each other, with both sides claiming that the anti-Trump swamp is thwarting their efforts.

There’s little doubt where the National Republican Senatorial Committee stands. On Thursday the group released an ad slamming Collins for the crime of…hanging around Black people:

The charges here, if you can’t bring yourself to watch, are that Collins says he’s friends with Stacey Abrams and Hakeem Jeffries, and that he once shook Barack Obama’s hand. You don’t exactly need Bletchley Park to crack this code. The ad makes Lee Atwater look subtle.

1. Dog meet your whistle

2. Wow. Collins is insufferable, but that's some world-class racist BS they've got going there.

And do you mean to tell me that Collins doesn't agree with absolutely *everything* Donald Trump says and does? And he *admits* it? Shocking! Unacceptable!

3. He is Lt. Col. Chaplain in USAF reserves and his wife is a respected elementary teacher

Rightwing can't stand for even a shred of decency and civility in their ranks under Trump

4. If Collins really wanted to be Senator, he should've bribed Governor Kemp enough ...

to have gotten himself appointed.

Now, Georgia already has a Republican in that position and Collins is going against the party by challenging her.

That proves that in addition to being a right-wing maniac and a jackass of epic proportions, he's also not a team player. And that's just unacceptable.
