"The Republican party is always going to struggle to disassociate itself from cranks and racists. But it becomes futile even to try when a racist crank sits atop the party as god-emperor."

"Higgins has styled himself a 'Cajun John Wayne,' which again is code for 'willing to commit violence in the name of white justice.' The GOP is now openly racist and proud of it, but the hate and violence was always just on simmer, ready to boil over as soon as the heat could be turned back up by a demagogue like Trump."

"As the Washington Post reported, back in 2016 Higgins, the 'brash, outspoken captain of the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s office' in Louisiana, resigned after appearing in a video calling a group of predominantly black gang members 'animals,' 'thugs' and 'heathens.'

Higgins’s behavior is part of a long pattern of using his office to promote racism, violence and lies."

Kuo notes:

"Higgins also has a telling, disturbing past in law enforcement, having had to resign twice from different police forces. The first was from the Opelousas police force in 2007 after assaulting an unarmed Black man and lying about it. ….

The second incident bears remarkable similarity to his tweet yesterday that created a political storm."

Jay Kuo comments on the vile racist tweet Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins made yesterday attacking Haitian immigrants and telling them to get "their ass out of our country before January 20th.”Higgins later deleted the tweet. A screenshot of it is in Kuo's posting.

As Greg Sargent reports, Trump chose to pour out hate yesterday in Pennsylvania, as he pointed to the community of Charleroi, claiming Haitians have taken it over and are taking jobs from locals.

Charleroi Charleroi Borough Manager Joe Manning responds:

“There’s what the former president is saying, and then there’s easily observable reality.”

"Mike Godwin himself has said it’s fine to use the comparison when it comes to Trump:

'By all means, compare these shitheads to Nazis. Again and again. I'm with you.'"

"This is the dark, angry, xenophobic, nationalist aspect of Trump’s political brand he’s formed over a decade. It’s where he is most comfortable, being bombastic and cruel. And it’s why he has turned American politics into a grim, primitive circus."

~ Morgan Stephens

"After about 30 minutes of sticking to prepared remarks about the economy, Trump’s speech veered into other topics like immigration, much to the crowd’s delight.

'Close the border!' a man in the crowd yelled as Trump said that undocumented immigrants were responsible for myriad ills."

"At an event intended to tout economic policies that would usher in what his campaign calls a 'new age of American industrialism', Donald Trump spent as much time discussing personal grievances and blaming immigrants for everything from fentanyl overdoses to crime and taking Americans’ jobs as he did discussing the economy."
