There is no low to which they will not go.
The Lexington (Kentucky) Herald-Leader published an editorial cartoon today mocking the Republican governor-elect Matt Bevin’s position against allowing refugees from Syria to settle in Kentucky.
The cartoon, drawn by Joel Pett, shows a cowering Bevin underneath his desk, while an aide points to the framed photos of the four dark-skinned children Bevin and his wife adopted from Ethiopia.
Bevin rightly called the cartoon “a deplorable, overtly racist attack on my children”, and said, “The tone of racial intolerance being struck by the Herald-Leader has no place in Kentucky and won’t be tolerated by our administration.”
Meanwhile, at Lewis & Clark College, students protested to let us know that racism in the media is A Very Bad Thing … unless it’s racism directed at Republicans, in which case, I guess it’s like totally what they deserve, right?
