5 times liberals have called conservatives racist

4. The media labeled Mitt Romney and others racist during the 2012 campaign

Mitt Romney felt the heat of it. Look at some of these headlines from 2012:

• “Nine most racist moments of the 2012 election”
• “As the Romney Campaign unskews, will the GOP’s Racist ID Take Over?”
• “Romney and the Deceptive Use of Racist Language”
• “Republicans are Racists…And they’re not shy about it”
• “White Racist Supporters Crushed When Mitt Romney Lost to Barack Obama”

And here’s “The 10 Most Racist Moments of the GOP Primary (So Far)” in which the author writes something that could be published today:

“The Republican Party is digging deep into the old bucket of white racism, using the politics of fear, hostility and anxiety to win over white voters.”

The labeling even came from the Right. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Colin Powell aide, said:

“My party, unfortunately, is the bastion of those people — not all of them but most of them — who are still basing their decisions on race. Let me just be candid. My party is full of racists.”

He was excoriated by Republicans then, but today, too many of them sound just like Wilkerson. Somehow all those people they defended in 2012 have magically transformed into racists in 2016.
