"Michael Cohen’s hearing before Congress took a turn for the tired after Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (rightly) pointed out the GOP’s naked attempt to push back against claims of Trump’s racism with Patton’s presence.
“She,” Meadows said, referring to Patton, a longtime Trump supporter, “says that as a daughter of a man born in Birmingham, Alabama, that there is no way that she would work for an individual who was a racist.”
“Just because someone has a black person working for them does not mean they aren’t racist,” Tliab said. Meadows, seated in front of Patton, defended her presence, claiming Tliab was racist to suggest he would use Patton as a “prop.”
