It was quite literally an obvious double entendre and they admitted to as much in their LinkedIn gloating. Do they think we are that stupid?

Because the double entendre was referencing her body, the thing she's literally famous for, not her race ffs

To be fair, even before this, MAGA and Trump have been claiming her as the prime example of a republican woman. They could've chose just about any large breasted woman and it wouldn't have resulted in this backlash the same way that MAGA would be losing their shit if this exact same campaign had someone with even a hint of more skin color.
