A RANCH IS NOT A PLANTATION

"George and I live on a ranch. Well, we do not exactly live there, but we vacation there a lot.
So I know the difference between a plantation and a ranch."
"George and I also do not support (nor will we ever have any) slaves (except for the American people who faithfully pay their taxes to bankroll us and the Iraq war)."
"And so the former First Lady was quite out of line when she called the GOP a plantation. There are no slaves in this fine party (except for the lobbyists who we pay)."
The Republican party ended slavery a long time ago."
"Plantations are a thing of the past. To use such language is a racist anachronism."
"Well, thank you. I must get ready to return to the old plant...I mean the ranch. Toodle-doo."
