No not THAT Rhodes, the other one
Trump’s “press secretary” tried to con journalists into thinking Amy Barrett was a Rhodes scholar.
If you watch it you see that she says “my bad” in a brushoff sort of way when she’s exposed as having lied to the reporters. We don’t refer to people who went to, say, Wharton as “Wharton scholars.” We say they graduated from Wharton or attended Wharton or got a BA at Wharton. (In Trump’s case we note that they did it by paying a less stupid kid to take the SATs for him.) The “press secretary” and former Fox News sleaze got caught telling a flattering lie about the religious fanatic Trump nominated for RBG’s seat.
It’s like a routine from the Beverly Hillbillies.
I wonder if she also confuses Rhodesian scholars for Rhodes scholars? Probably not, Rhodesia being African is probably in the ‘shithole’ category.
He probably thinks there still is a Rhodesia, and never heard of Zimbabwe.
Wait, what am I saying? “He … thinks”? Nah.
He should make a tour of all the countries that have been renamed (or for other reasons don’t have the same name) during his lifetime. USSR, Czechoslovakia, Rhodesia, Yugoslavia, etc. He’d be stuck on a plane forever, demanding they take him where he wants to go.
Rhodesia being African is probably in the ‘shithole’ category.
When it was called that it was run by White Supremacists, so it was a paradise on earth.
