To be fair, it's an unsourced quote from The Daily Hatemail, so odds are that she never said it.

To be even more fair, though, it's probably accurate whether or not that bigot ever said it out loud.

She did say it and its on video. Vivek himself posted the clip on his twitter saying "I disagree with her but respect that she had the guts to speak her mind" How embarassing.

Wow, what a pathetic Uncle Tom, or whatever the Indian equivalent is 🤦

Normally that's not really an accusation anonymous people should use on the Internet, but the man's so cringingly servile I don't think anyone can deny the accuracy.

He just nods along to her rascist bs. Half a little self-respect man.

If he had self-respect he would lose the little (R) next to his name, and we can’t have that now can we?

It's ideology over identity with these people. Always and infallibly.

People literally suck Greek dick for money

Nodding along hardly seems like the worst way to go about things

He clearly has no personal convictions. He acts entirely like someone who is working a job, and that job is to help Trump get elected.

I’m slightly ashamed to admit it but I actually went fishing for the most clickbaity headline on this story to post to this community. It’s not just a right wing rag talking about it, they just had the most oniony headline

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Perfectly understandable, given the circumstances 😄

My profile says I’ve made 2.2k posts and I’m pretty sure this is the first Daily Mail link lol. Why can’t normal people write terrible headlines??

Scruples.

To be fair... I hate so and so as much as the next guy, but...

It's literally on video.
