Just when we thought we would take a day or two off, the Twitter profile of political communication strategist Liz Mair tweeted this on Wednesday afternoon (why do we think that Mair will delete the tweet soon. and offer an “apology?”):
As expected, Mair’s tweet is getting hundreds of responses already:
Interesting what GOP comms people can get away with tweeting these days… they don’t even try to mask their racism anymore.

Truly a mystery how your party ended up being led by Trump

Then there is this:
Did she mean monolingual and her phone auto corrected to Mongolian?

That’s racist AF: what makes someone “look” monolingual?
— Marce G. Graudiņš (@minsd) January 2, 2019
I mean yes the tweet is still racist with, I'm trying to figure out if she meant monolingual or Mongolian
"Look monolingual" meaning someone with a Spanish name but doesn't fit the racist stereotype of a Latinx person.
