I cannot believe anyone traveling with a former president, even that one, would have such a lack in upbringing, such absolute lack of grace, that they would think it's ok to be this classless in public. I don't even need to go into the racism.
Straight Trash
The problem is she just is trash. Somehow that's gotten her a following. She doesn't know anything else. Most other Republicans know you're supposed to not say certain things, but she has never known anything but saying the worst things.
Because before, if you were trash you were ostracized and it was effective. Now, they can join a social support group of trash that will be easy to politically mobilize as long as they are given relevance. They just need to be normalized and led into living in a bubble so controlled that they only focus on how the rest of the society is wrong while evading introspectively looking at how much worse and how much more contradictory some of the elements within their bubble are.
Birds of a feather ....
