I wouldn't say it's insane for a republican to be racist. Obviously racist? Sure. But not insane.
Something being expected does not make it sane.
I think sanity or Insanity is linked to being mentally abnormal, not normal, while this disappointing behavior and state of mind is pretty normal.
I don't consider racism abnormal since it's so common, or a mental illness; racism is a frightened, prejudiced reaction to differences.
Offensive and unwelcome, but very common in a normal state of mind.
I guess you could say the rant was insane, because he doesn't seem to understand the consequences of being so openly racist.
But it isn't like you have to be in a mental institution to hear a racist rant.
Yes, what he said was way out of line and he should apologize like she said. But paying your husband with campaign funds to be your personal security is a little weird, right?
Which is why her funding is already being investigated. His comments are completely unnecessary.
Exactly. She's rightly being investigated and she deserves to be criticized for what at best, seems like a conflict of interest for employing her husband, but she should not be subjected to racist attacks. Troy Nehls is just a bigoted piece of garbage looking for an excuse to go on a racist rant to score some easy points with his racist constituents.
Less weird then hiring your 2 sons and your daughter to high ranking gov positions. At least he has an interest in the actual job and isn't there to fleece the taxpayers.
Hey! Ivanka didn’t even get a paycheck though! She loved the US so much that she worked for free! It was a sacrifice!
Never mind the millions she and Jared raked in from foreign governments - she didn’t have a salary!
It’s hard to imagine he’s providing competent service as a protective agent, though it may be more that he’s simply managing her detail, etc.
It’s usually a bad idea to have friends/intimate relations as body guards. For one thing, any attempted assassination or whatever is going to account for your security detail, which means whoever is going to have a target on their back. It exposes him to increased risks.
For another, if he’s busy being a husband (and presumably a father,), he’s not busy being a body guard.
But he’s probably just managing the staff, meeting them, reviewing their backgrounds etc, making sure their personalities “fit”,
Regardless it’s pretty normal to give families consultant fees all the freaking time.
