A CPAC session sponsored by Tea Party Patriots and billed as a primer on teaching activists how to court black voters devolved into a shouting match as some attendees demanded justice for white voters and others shouted down a black woman who reacted in horror.
The session, entitled Trump The Race Card: Are You Sick And Tired Of Being Called A Racist When You Know Youre Not One? was led by K. Carl Smith, a black conservative who mostly urged attendees to deflect racism charges by calling themselves Frederick Douglass Republicans.
Disruptions began when he started accusing Democrats of still being the party of the Confederacy a common talking point on the right.

(12,166 posts)They do have a problem keeping the Teajadi loons in check enough to let the party as a whole pass for rational.
The poetic justice of these morans trying unsuccessfully to "pass" (for half-way sane, in this case) is truly delicious.
I'm afraid to count any blessings since the Republicans seem to crawl out of the grave more times than the vampire in a B horror movie, but it is good to see signs of the Great Unraveling.
