Jennifer Carnahan was born in South Korea and was adopted by parents in Minnesota. She rose to become chairwoman of the republican Party in Minnesota.
But apparently she is sick and tired of racist and sexist remarks directed at her.
Carnahan posted on her personal Facebook page on Friday that some GOP leaders around the state have called her “a stupid Asian not even born in America” and used racial slurs, the Star Tribune reported. Carnahan was born in South Korea and adopted by Minnesota parents.
...
Carnahan said on Facebook that she receives hate-filled email and social media messages on a daily basis. She wrote that she was confronted at President Donald Trump’s rally in Duluth this past week, where she said she was told she is “disgusting.” She said she has received emails telling her she is “not worth a penny” and should “crawl back into a hole and stay there,” and that she deserves to make less money than her male predecessors.
So you would think that she is maybe regretting her party affiliation, regretting being on the same Trump team as the racists who spew hate at her.
Nope.
Democrats blame Trump for unleashing a new era of racial division. Carnahan, whose term ends next year, rejects that idea.
“I told (Trump) I want to run again to be chair because I want to deliver the state to you in 2020,” Carnahan said. “If I thought he was a racist or that anything he did was stoking racial divisions, I wouldn’t want to work on his behalf because I’ve had to deal with racism my entire life.”
She can she racism and sexism just fine when it is right in her face. How can she possibly not see it in everything Trump does and says?
