Jen Psaki claimed the Republican Party is returning to an old strategy of pitting minority groups against one another.
“I’ve been noticing the reemergence of a very old GOP playbook,” Psaki said, suggesting former President Richard Nixon encouraged the fear of black people in order to draw the votes of white people. “And it worked by pitting one group of Americans against another, the GOP successfully managed to split off southern whites from the Democratic Party.
Psaki suggested the strategy was hypocritical, pointing back to concerns following the Sept. 11 attacks.“Ten years ago, standing against Sharia law was the key GOP litmus test,” Psaki noted. “Now that litmus test seems to be held fervently to oppose transgender people.” “This is the same old GOP playbook,” she reiterated, calling it “another cynical ploy to tear at the fabric of our society and damage the idea that out of many, we are one — all because they want so desperately to regain the White House.”
