I watched the video. The statement is BS. He's making fun of a woman without an "American" name.

Why Indian Americans are not becoming Republicans any time soon

... the deeper reason so few Indian Americans identify with the Republican Party is its intolerance of minorities, say 27 percent of Indian Americans who do not identify with the party.

That race will likely go to a runoff in early January. Both Senate races in GA may go to a runoff.

Right? Such a pathetic display. It did remind me to donate to Ossoff today, so there’s that.

It's a feature, not a bug.

It also got an extra vote for Ossoff. I have family in Atlanta - we are Indian American. An elderly “aunt” rarely votes but is registered. She asked her daughter-in-law (my cousin) to hep her figure out how to vote this year after she saw that clip. Her husband will get a ride to polls too. And she will vote democratic up and down ticket. So at least one more (maybe 2 more) Fulton county votes against the Republicans. Well done Senator!

And I did my 4th (unplanned) donation to Ossoff.

Like rats off a sinking ship...

Fearing a ‘Blood Bath,’ Republican Senators Begin to Edge Away From Trump

The statements offer an answer to the question of when Republicans might begin to repudiate the president after years of embracing him: the moment they believed he threatened their own political survival.

For nearly four years, congressional Republicans have ducked and dodged an unending cascade of offensive statements and norm-shattering behavior from President Trump, ignoring his caustic and scattershot Twitter feed and penchant for flouting party orthodoxy, and standing quietly by as he abandoned military allies, attacked American institutions and stirred up racist and nativist fears.

But now, facing grim polling numbers and a flood of Democratic money and enthusiasm that has imperiled their majority in the Senate, Republicans on Capitol Hill are beginning to publicly distance themselves from the president. The shift, less than three weeks before the election, indicates that many Republicans have concluded that Mr. Trump is heading for a loss in November. And they are grasping to save themselves and rushing to re-establish their reputations for a coming struggle for their party’s identity.

Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska unleashed on Mr. Trump in a telephone town hall event with constituents on Wednesday, eviscerating the president’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and accusing him of “flirting” with dictators and white supremacists and alienating voters so broadly that he might cause a “Republican blood bath” in the Senate. He was echoing a phrase from Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who warned of a “Republican blood bath of Watergate proportions.” Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, one of the president’s most vocal allies, predicted the president could very well lose the White House.
