I thought I was beyond shock. But now we're beyond dog whistles. They just say it out loud!!!!!!

I just heard the press secretary say, as best I can remember....

"When you're flying on a plane, you don't worry about the pilot's (training - I'm not sure) No, you worry about THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN!!!!!! It's common sense."

She said it out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm am shocked beyond belief!!!!!
