In case you weren’t clear that the democratic establishment abuses identity politics in the most crass manner, and worse in response to concerns from a woman of color, a senior aide to Nancy Pelosi, her deputy chief of staff specifically, has stepped in to illustrate the point with amazing clarity. Drew Hammill retweet this attack from the house democratic caucus.
Oh, and it gets better. When confronted on this he responded thusly.
As a queer man who has been physically assaulted this is absolute garbage. A powerful white gay man punching down at a PoC making a point about how racism works, and yes he’s right, is just about the most cynical bullshit I’ve seen from dem establishment hacks in a while.
Or it was. Then I saw this.
Now we’ve got a “top aide” sending frankly racist messages to the press.
Where was this energy for the dems who fought to enable this fascist administration? Where was it for the opponents of climate change legislation in the caucus? No, it’s only here for the progressive people of color, and especially for progressive women of color.
