This AP story about the arrest of a TX woman who threatened Chutkan omitted the fact that she called the judge, who’s Black, a “dumb slave” and the N-word. They’re so invested in downplaying this belligerent extremism that’s so pervasive on the right—even in a story about death threats.

It’s the American way. It’s like Giuliani widely being considered an honorable man when he built his reputation and career on harassment and abuse of black folks. That part of his background was simply not important to his general standing.

Indeed. That’s why I see virtually all GOPers as racist. Bigotry is not a dealbreaker for them. And look at the worship of Washington & Jefferson. Owning slaves is no dealbreaker lowering their status among many here.

". . . Rudy Giuliani’s mayoralty was driven by a hostility to free expression, police brutality and violence, and an authoritarian disregard for democracy." https://www.nyclu.org/en/p...
