White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre highlighted Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s “racist” remark about Democrats wanting “reparation because they are pro-crime” to claim there is a distinction between how Republicans handle such comments and Democrats.
“They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have,” Tuberville told the cheering crowd. “They want reparation because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bullshit. They are not owed that.”
Jean-Pierre also invoked GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano criticizing his Democratic opponent Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, for Shapiro sending his son to a Jewish day school. “The president used to say, and I’ll quote the president right now: ‘Hate never goes away, it only hides. but lately, it’s just out in the open at these extreme MAGA rallies,’;” Jean-Pierre said.
The White House press secretary said Democrats handle similar controversies by holding members of their party accountable.“The language that was used and tolerated during that conversation was unacceptable,” Jean-Pierre said.
