Mediaite reports:
The Michigan Republican Party used the word “colored” to describe Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) in a social media post on Thursday while also calling him a communist.
Rather than wait for an investigation into the incident to uncover the cause of the bridge collapse, right-wing social media accounts immediately suggested the blame should be placed on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives
On its official X/Twitter account, the Michigan GOP seized on Scott’s remarks, portrayed them as threatening, and described Scott as “colored.” A prominent account on X/Twitter that has been engaged with and boosted by Elon Musk referred to Scott, who is Black, as “Baltimore’s DEI mayor.”
Read the full article. As I’ve reported previously, the Michigan GOP remains in a legal battle over its leadership and it’s not clear who operates their X account. Some on X suspect that it’s still QAnon nutbag Kristina Karamo.
Another shining example of “colored communism” in America. https://t.co/O9KXzy1ubn
