<\/p>\nA woman with a proclivity for calling brown people apes:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2026got hired to do a reboot of her show by ABC last year.\u00a0 Note the date on that tweet.\u00a0 Everybody knew she was an unstable kook given to nutty bigotries and crazy conspiracy theories:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But, as the retweets make clear, she was a nut who who is popular with the conspiracy-monger in the White House and his dull son.\u00a0 So ABC decided to reboot her show, knowing that she is an unstable kook.\u00a0 One-third of the electorate is a lot of money.\u00a0 So why not give her a forum and see if that demographic might not be milked?<\/p>\n
She\u2019s been tweeting nutty stuff through the run of the show.\u00a0 But this weekend, the woman who thought this was funny<\/a>\u00a0decided to relieve herself of her racist nuttery yet another time with this observation:<\/p>\n For some reason that I do not understand, this tweet, out of all the crazy tweets she has posted, stuck out and a backlash occurred.\u00a0 Realizing that this one was not going to go unnoticed, she pulled it down and apologized (a rarity for a Trump supporter and something for which I give her credit).\u00a0 But the damage was done.\u00a0 By mid-day yesterday, Wanda Sykes had resigned, then ABC cancelled the show, then her management dropped her like plutonium, then even her old show was cancelled in reruns.<\/p>\n The moral of the story is this:<\/p>\n And this brings us back to the real problem, which is the Orwellian, doublethink, magical, reality-denying mind of the Trumpkin, who proudly displays his love for racist kooks while pretending it does not exist:<\/p>\n Deplorables acting deplorably is\u2026 deplorable.
