Excellent comment by Karen Attiah:
This tweet is not “racially charged”.
It’s not “racially divisive”.
It's not “racialist”, or “sparking racial controversy.”
This tweet is straight up racist and the media should call it so. https://t.co/RAaMQFt6sY

Mike Huckabee's disgusting tweet is getting some attention this morning.
So I'm reposting this on how this sort of dehumanization works.
It's a Trump speciality, obviously, but Huckabee perfected it in a single tweet:https://t.co/nfSIFFeTYR pic.twitter.com/K5NhUAxylI

Imagine being this hypocritical? Then imagine at the same time claiming you are a man of God. Then imagine that your daughter gets kicked out of a restaurant & you can't think of better jokes than "small plates for small minds". pic.twitter.com/RXur9c52tc

Reactions to this @GovMikeHuckabee dog whistle:
Normal people: He once seemed a decent man. This is sick.
Trump rationalizers: a) c'mon, lighten up, b) liberals are tasteless too, & c) you know, Pelosi really is soft on crime.
Elected Republicans: Tax cuts.
The dogs: Woof! Woof! https://t.co/d6C2Akp8T3— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) June 23, 2018
