How racist are GOP voters? This Michigan primary result says it all.– www.dailykos.com

If you want to understand just how racist Republican voters are, look no further than Tuesday night’s result in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District primary.

Both President Donald Trump and the National Republican Congressional Committee had endorsed veteran Amir Hassan to face off against Democratic Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet in this seat that Trump carried by 2 points in 2024.

“Amir Hassan is a Flint native, Navy veteran, and former federal law enforcement officer who fought for nation and will fight for Michigan in Congress. Hassan is set to secure victory in November and deliver real representation for hardworking Michiganders,” NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon wrote in a July 15 post that added Hassan to the committee’s “MAGA Majority” program for candidates national Republicans deem as top-tier recruits.

And Trump posted a lengthy endorsement of Hassan on July 28, writing in a Truth Social post: “From bravely fighting for our incredible U.S. Navy, to protecting his Community as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Amir has served our Nation with distinction, and will bring that same Fighting Spirit to the U.S. Congress.”
