October 2017 "Mia Love Slams Michelle Obama's Divisive GOP Comments"

idiot


<Rep. Mia Love of Utah, the only black, female Republican in Congress, slammed Michelle Obama’s “divisive” comments last week on the GOP’s lack of diversity.

Ms. Love said on “Fox & Friends” that Mrs. Obama is playing “identity politics” by claiming the Republican Party consists of all white men.

“Sadly, this is identity politics,” the Utah Republican said Saturday. “I don’t know if she noticed, but I am not white and I am not a male.”

Mrs. Obama made headlines last week after she claimed that the Republican Party is “all men, all white,” and noted that “people don’t trust politics” because the lack of diversity in Congress. The former first lady said women and minorities will probably “continue to struggle” unless there’s a major shakeup in Congress and more white men become willing to give up their seats.

“This is about the narrative for them and about winning elections through divisive politics instead of uniting people,” Ms. Love said. “I don’t fit in a box. I don’t want to fit in a box that somebody tells me I have to fit into. I am a wife. I’m a mother. I’m a Utahan. I am a black Republican who cares about America and cares about all people.>

let alone a black woman, could possibly be a Republican. Let alone a member of Congress.

I think someone needs to ask her to explain "cognitive dissonance." And if she doesn't already know what it means, be prepared to explain it to her.
