Wyoming Congressman Apologizes for Tweeting ‘Where the White Women At’ GIF to State’s First Black Sheriff
Meet Wyoming legislator Rep. Cyrus Western (R-Sheridan). The Casper Star-Tribune reports that Western, in his infinite white and western wisdom (See what I did there?), thought it was a good idea to congratulate Wyoming’s first Black sheriff, Albany County Sheriff Aaron Appelhans, on his new appointment by posting a now-deleted tweet featuring a GIF of the Black sheriff from the movie Blazing Saddles, played by actor Cleavon Little, asking, “Where the white women at?”
I know what you’re thinking: I guess white men can jump because otherwise there’s no way in hell he could perform the mental gymnastics necessary to explain how that shit wasn’t meant to be racist.
But this guy is an outlier, right?
I mean, not all members of the GOP are racist, right? (I’m reminded of this quite frequently here at DKos.)
Where oh where do all these outliers come from?
Hint: they ain’t outliers— this is foundation of the GOP, and what suits the preferences of its rank and file voters is to support bigots who will do bigoted things on their behalf.
Yes, when they make the decision to align with and vote for the GOP, they are simply racist.
Every.
Last.
One.
