“Kris Kobach Suggests He Could Support an Openly Racist President”

“What would you do if the president said, ‘I am a racist. That’s why I said it.’ What would you do? Would you still support him as president?”

Kobach paused. “Uhm. I don’t know.”

Chris Cuomo kinda went ballistic on that answer, but I have to say it’s refreshing to get it out in the open.

  1. Remember that bit SNL did with black actors when Obama was president? They keep presenting escalating scenarios of crime, infidelity and religious radicalism by Obama….and they all said “No that would not influence my support”… well it like that now only it is real and it is a white guy.

    1. The “it is real” part is the key distinction there. That makes it much less funny.

  2. I’m from Kansas. I’m a Republican (not a Trumpist). And Kobach is a total moron, and one of the worst things that Kansas has ever produced (topping even the World’s Largest Ball of Twine).

    For me though the interesting situation is that about 2 years ago most of my white progressive friends started declaring themselves to be racist. I guess that would also eliminate all of them from consideration. (I’d love to know if Cuomo jumped on that bandwagon at the time).

  3. Being by parental geography half-Bostonian and half-Kansan I was so glad to see this clown lose for Governor in Kansas last year. One of the real intellectual superstars of the Trumpist Party (it’s not Republican anymore) along with Pompeo and the Cooch (Cucinelli).

  4. What was going through Kobach’s alleged mind:

    “Well of course I’d back him to the hilt. But do I dare say the quiet part loud? Not yet.”
