After former presidential candidate Ron Paul shared a racist political cartoon about “cultural Marxism” featuring caricatures of black, Jewish, Asian and Latino stereotypes, Twitter gave him the business.
“Ron Paul, who published hundreds of racist newsletters in the 80s calling black men ‘animals’ and referred to Martin Luther King Day as ‘hate whitey day,’ just tweeted (then deleted) this shockingly racist and antisemitic political cartoon,” the @YesYoureRacist Twitter account noted.

“The man knows his base,” author K. Thor Jensen tweeted alongside a screenshot of the since-deleted post bemoaning “what has become of American culture.”
“Make no mistake,” another user wrote, “When retweeting this, Ron Paul *knew” this was enormously f*cking racist.”
“No excuses or pleas of ignorance,” she added.

Let’s all recall the newsletters Paul said he was both responsible for and not responsible for. https://t.co/hU0zi6bPP0

It appears the person running Ron Paul's twitter account is the person who ran the Ron Paul newsletter but rest assured, if people get mad neither of them will be Actual Ron Paul and it's insulting for you to suggest it. https://t.co/qXALrNIz9P

me: the Racism Dog account is taking major hits from both left and right, on a day when Ron Paul dropped a Ben Garrison race war meme. it’s quite a twist

Ron Paul fucked up good, he posted this shit, deleted it, and re-posted it saying with a big "no political correctness" image
have to wonder why he had this image readily available to fuck up with https://t.co/GliQ1gUVhy
