Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada's chief of staff Cade Cothren resigned Monday night, and it wasn't just because he'd allegedly tried to frame a black student activist. It turns out Cothren has a repulsive history of sending racist and sexist text messages. He's also made gross advances toward former interns, lobbyists, and campaign staffers. He's a full deck of House of Cards.
The text messages are from 2014 to 2016. Cothren was the House Republicans' press secretary at the time, so in theory he should've known a better way to communicate with people. Cothren also seems to think three to five years ago is the distant past.
COTHREN: I'm just not the same guy that I was several years back. I was young and dumb and immature. There's no excuse for it at all, and I'm not trying to make excuses, but I can tell you that I have changed since then... While I'm not proud of who I was in the past, I am proud that, with God's grace and a strong support system, I've been able to achieve so much in the years since.
We normally believe that "existence precedes essence" but Cothren's actual existence is putrid and slimy. Texts show that Cothren requested oral sex and nude photos from interns like he was using a pervert's GrubHub. He told a lobbyist that he'd be up for sleeping with an older woman (charming). He also asked an intern about her underwear and orgasms. He could've just called a phone sex line, but he probably enjoyed exerting his dominance over women in the workplace....

Texas lawmaker ends campaign over ‘Asian’ candidate remarks
He said the quiet part out loud.AUSTIN, Texas — A white Texas Republican lawmaker who suggested his political rivals on the ballot were motivated to run against him because they’re Asian dropped his reelection bid Tuesday following a backlash that included losing the endorsement of the state’s GOP governor.

Were you vicariously traumatized?
Not at all.
Amused at overall conservative stupidity.
Saddened that such things seem to be more acceptable these days to many Trump party officials and rank and file. I think that is directly attributable to the tone at the top.

governor predicts ‘1000 years of darkness’ if state elects first black senator in over 139 years
Espy is running against Hyde-Smith again in 2020, and
far-right Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant is predicting that terrible things will happen if Espy wins.
Journalist Joe Jurado analyzes Bryant’s hysteria in a January 9 article for The Root,
noting that Espy would be Mississippi’s “first black Senator in over 139 years” if he wins.
“I intend to work for @cindyhydesmith as if the fate of America depended on her single election.
If Mike Espy and the liberal Democrats gain the Senate,
we will take that first step into
1000 years of darkness.”knitterhood!

Parties tend to be a bit hyperbolic when asking for money. Lots of cringe here, and both sides are truly equal here, IMO.
how is Espy "truly equal" to Bryant / Hyde-Smith?

asked if “the colored population” is more disproportionately impacted by the novel coronavirus because
they “don’t wash their hands as well.”

The tone of the fundraising emails is a bit "OMG it's the end of the world".
"We're not racists, but .... the pandemic surge was caused by black people."

Yes, black lives matter burned down whole cities.
Repugs on want "quality" voters
Mitch McConnell Argues for Disenfranchising Black Voters
he “fervently” opposes HR 1, the For the People Act of 2021.
McConnell claimed HR 1
″would give Washington, D.C., unprecedented power over the way our nation conducts elections” and
restrict “free speech.”
(McConnell equates campaign donations — including unlimited dark money — to free speech.
HR 1 would also limit the ability of megadonors to sway elections.)
Kentucky election laws, he said, were “appropriate around our unique experiences in our elections.”
While all of the laws make it harder to vote, none of them are “an out-right effort to disenfranchise all Black people or all poor people,”
the Rev. William J. Barber II,, “they are, by design, ‘surgical’ because [the Republicans] …
know they just need small percentages.
Jim Crow’s son went to law school and learned to crunch the data.
I call him James Crow, Esquire.
He has the same intent, but he can make it look more respectable than the old literacy tests and poll taxes.”
Today, most of the minority vote is Democratic because the Democrats mainly are the party of federal civil rights activism, as typified by HR 1.

These are not racist statements anymore than saying black people are under represented in Congress or that Mexicans are crossing the border. Just saying the name of the race doesn't make the subsequent statement racist. Identifying race doesn't lead to racism. If it did, the US Census is racist.
If someone said "being black means you're too stupid to get vaccinated"... that would be racist. You cannot even identify racism so you've broadened your net to call everything mentioning race in an unfavorable manner "racist", except white people.. that would be "woke".
If you're singling out black people as a cause of low vaccine rates while purposefully ignoring the even lower rates among your white ideological adherents, yeah, that's racist by exclusion. I mean maybe not as racist as
...but still racist.
