She's only a pretty face, a mouthpiece for Saikat Chakrabarti - sm Posted: Jul 16th, 2019 - 10:49 am In Reply to: I'm a centrist Democrat and I agree - she doesn't poll well
Those ideas aren't hers. See link.
I'm not sure she was denigrated by Trump. She wasn't his true target. Pelosi was, along with moderate Dems.
Trump knew there was a risk if Pelosi was able to carve off the "squad" as a left wing faction of the rest of a more moderate Dem party. His tweet brought them back together. Now they're one. Moderate Dems have self-identified with the "squad" and their Justice Democrats PAC policies.
Pelosi was on track to distance herself and moderates from the squad. She got AOC and Chakrabarti to call her racist. That's not what Trump wanted. He wants them emotional, united, and frothing at the mouth. The more emotional they get the better.
His other possible goal with the tweet was to distract the media from focusing on the ICE deportations.
It had also been a few weeks since he was last called a racist. It was coming soon regardless, why not use it to his advantage?
