These Kilclooney tweets are a real insight into racism

1. Does something racist
2. Doubles down on said racism using the "I know one or two ppl of that race" excuse
3. Denies it's racist and lies to shift the goalposts. But the lie actually reinforces the racism by again showing he thought it was acceptable to call Kamala Harris "the Indian". Also just an unbelievable lie tbh.
4. Gets caught out in said lie with his own words. He knew who Kamala Harris was three days ago....
5. Our system allows it to happen. He's in an unelected position of power and the body that deals with complaints against Lords probably once again will not intervene. The system ENABLES the behaviour and that's where the harm comes in.
