It can often seem like all Republicans do is lie and be racist. There’s a reason for this, you know, outside of the GOP suspected of being full of liars and racists: Some Republican political candidates have figured out that working a MAGA crowd simply means ramping up the racism. It worked for Donald Trump (well, it worked until 2020), so why shouldn’t it work for Trump’s for his minions? At least, that appears to be the way David Perdue sees it.

Perdue is running to be Georgia’s next governor—and he’s losing. He is lagging behind in the polls and when that start’s happening, Perdue apparently gets Per-desperate.
This brings us to his recent remarks about Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. During a Monday campaign stop in Dunwoody, Georgia, Perdue, a white man, decided that he had the authority to determine what constitutes “demeaning” Black people—but he couldn’t even do that without invoking racist language. He also tried to paraphrase Abrams’ own words by leaving out all the context and only relaying the parts that would get the MAGA rubes all riled up.

“Did y’all see what Stacey said this weekend?” Perdue asked those in attendance at a rally with an “overwhelmingly white crowd,” as the New York Times put it. “She said that Georgia is the worst place in the country to live. Hey, she ain’t from here. Let her go back where she came from if she doesn’t like it here.”
