CSI: American Carnage (September 14, 2019)
NEW YORK — Aines snakes her right leg around the other leg, passing underneath it and then up and over and around, nearly impaling Don Junior who sits on the couch next to Killer. Aines says, They’re scared to talk about the economy. Don Junior, burrows into the moment. He tells Aines, Of course, but you know, you see that. You’ve seen that with blue check mark Twitter, I’ve seen that. Ainse nods. A nodding Killer looks at Don Junior. Don Junior drills deeper into his subject. He says, They talk about these sound bites because there’s no one in media who will actually hold them in check. There’s no accountability. That’s why you can have these radical ideas. And if you contest them, you’re a racist. I think you maybe saw the AOC response to that. There was a Cambodian lady that put out this incredible ad, who went through the Cambodian genocide. And two million people killed and the disaster that is socialism and communism that they’re all espousing. And this Cambodian woman — yep, she’s racist. It’s not the answer for everything. It’s become the left-wing sort of political easy button. We can just say, hey, I don’t like the way the numbers work, racist. Math, you’ve seen that one. Racist. It’s really sad because it’s creating a division and it’s also really not addressing a problem. And racism is a real problem. It’s just not the answer to every problem. And that’s what it’s become. And I think people have seen it. I think the American people get it and it’s getting old. And that’s a shame because, again, you do a disservice to those who are actually afflicted by it. Ainse nods. She unspools her right leg and wraps her left leg around it, coiling up and over, grazing Doocer in his left calf. Doocer smiles. Ainse smiles. She says, Tell us about your mom. She’s still living behind the Iron Curtain isn’t she? Don Junior says, She watches CNN because that’s all they got in Europe, and she’s in tears, calling me, Don, you don’t understand how bad it is. You don’t under…. and I’m like, I do get it. That’s why I’m fighting against it so vehemently. She looks at the blue check mark Twitter and the ads for the atrocities in Cambodia and she tells everybody that it’s AOC and the soundbites, you know. And CNN, which is so, so bad. – Saturday, September 14, 2019
