The attack on Black Florida Rep. Byron Donalds as a 'prop' is the latest example of racially charged rhetoric against minority Republicans by liberal figures.
Florida Rep. Byron Donalds argues Republicans will 'find a way' to agree on a House speaker but says it will take 'a lot' of negotiations.
Republican official Harmeet Dhillon told Fox News Digital of Bush’s attack,"I think this is a common theme from Democrats to stigmatize any African American or really any minority person who dares to think for themselves, and our party is a party of respecting the individual." The website Politico referred to Bush's comment as simply a"sharp jab," and the online magazine The Root cheered Bush's remarks, writing,"There’s no doubt that Donalds knows he’s being used—he’s a Black Republican, after all. But at this point, it’s clear he has no problem with it." The left-wing site HuffPost gave Bush a platform to elaborate, where she said she had no issue with Donalds, but rather the Republicans she accused of using them.
