Coincidentally Unconnected Ideas

The State of the Union always brings out political tweets, but in this case it also brought out some decorating observations in an unfortunately placed comma splice.

Clearly this person feels that The White House is in need of a new coat of paint. They also have some political ideas. That's okay. Not everyone is a democrat. The eagle of liberty needs both wings.

Of course some cynics might choose this moment to be grammatically ungenerous and think that this is some kind of white man/white house thing, but she CLEARLY states that she's not racist, so I'm not sure how that is even a possibility.

I mean if we can't trust people who say they aren't racist, the next thing you'll be telling me is that we're not past all that.

ETA: I have been informed that this tweet has been around since 2012, so clearly some race baiters decided to put it out to rouse rabbles. Obviously even if it weren't a simple case of two ideas in an unfortunately structured tweet, we have clearly gotten past all that in the last two years.
