My colleague Susie Moore reported on the truly offensive tweet from former senator from Missouri, Claire McCaskill.

One of these things is not like the others. Hint: they made him squat in the aisle so he was visible. pic.twitter.com/aFxrRRjbPi

Yikes.

The picture was a group of Trump team folks including cabinet secretaries, Trump family and member of Congress who were flying back from Iowa to Washington, D.C.

Our AMAZING Iowa Caucus team is heading back home!

Thank you ALL for your hard work.

President @realDonaldTrump CRUSHED all incumbent turnout records in Iowa!

How do we know? Well, we can count unlike the Democrats!#IowaCaucuses pic.twitter.com/jFoOhOkkvH

Seems like McCaskill hasn’t let the cut under her nose heal yet from losing her Senate race to Republican Josh Hawley.

Talk about only seeing people through the lens of race. McCaskill appears to have missed both Katrina Pierson and Ken Blackwell. Instead of thinking maybe Carson’s in the aisle talking to someone on the way back to his seat, her mind goes to that he’s “made” to do something. So there’s a problem with how she thinks. Finally, he’s not squatting. But whatever position he’s in, why is McCaskill suggesting that anyone “made” him get into that position? Does she think Carson has no agency over himself? “That’s something else altogether,” as my colleague Susie Moore noted.

This is racism ⤵️ https://t.co/G3wt0titPs

But Donald Trump, Jr, who was also on the plane, just levels McCaskill with his response.

Hi Claire,

Two problems with your tweet:

1. Dr. Ben Carson did not have a seat in this pic because he was sitting in First Class with my family

2. Dr. Carson is not a "thing," he is a world renowned, life-saving neurosurgeon

Anyway, how's unemployment? https://t.co/icZKsu9YFn

Now that’s an epic burn.

In case anyone was wondering where Ben Carson’s seat was on the Team Trump plane – just check First Class top left. Thanks for playing Claire. pic.twitter.com/HxyHKz7PHp

Katrina Pierson also got in a good shot at McCaskill.

Oh, that’s right. Black people like myself and Ken Blackwell aren’t considered black unless we’re Democrats or kissing the asses of white liberals in the media.

You may want to delete this racist tweet.

I mean, why else would this photo trigger you? https://t.co/2FuQXkY7xL
