During Michael Cohen's hearing Rep. Mark Meadows feigned indignation for being attacked by two Democratic women on the Committee. Reps Brenda Lawrence and Rashida Tlaib called out Meadows for using a black woman as a prop -- to crow that Trump wasn't really a racist.
Eric Levitz writes, "Meadows presented Lynne Patton, a former party planner for the Trump Organization and current HUD official. “You made some very demeaning comments about the president that Ms. Patton doesn’t agree with,” Meadows told Cohen.
Rep. Lawrence blasted him for this moronic and insulting use of a person of color.
Rep. Lawrence said, "Being a Black American, and having endured the public comments of racism from the sitting president as being a Black person, I can only imagine what's being said in private. And to prop up one member of our entire race of Black people, and say that that nullifies that is TOTALLY insulting, and in this environment of expecting a president to be inclusive, and to look at his administration speaks volumes.
