Wajahat "Openly Brown" Ali Retweeted Steve Cortes
I inadvertently broke Steve Cortes when I told him that Trump's base will "never love you." He was on Trump's National Hispanic Advisory Council. I told him to "Be Best." Harmless. Good segment. But he wouldn't stop whining, tweeting or writing about it.https://twitter.com/cortessteve/status/1150941054562197504?lang=en …

Steve CortesVerified account @CortesSteveTonight, my CNN colleague @WajahatAli resorted to the most racist and condescending insult I’ve ever heard, telling me “they will never love you.” As if I’m some brown fool earnestly trying to earn the favor of white Trump supporters. Shameful. https://app.frame.io/presentations/2285f00e-a51d-4991-a183-c82ef637b6df …165 replies 697 retweets 7,073 likesShow this thread -

They haven't won yet. If they do take over completely, they won't care that you licked their asses for years.

If you think anyone on the Republican right believes I do that (ugh, why do you people have to be so FOUL)... then you either don’t know politics, DC, or me, or any of the above. I recommend you leave things to the grown ups.
