Vote for armed racist intimidation
Donald Trump has confirmed he will address the Republican convention next week from the White House, a controversial choice.
It’s not just “controversial,” it’s unethical and revolting.
But it’s worse than that: the racist couple who pointed guns at protesters are scheduled to speak at the Republican convention.
In a racially charged incident in late June, Patricia and Mark McCloskey, who are white, were pictured outside their mansion in St Louis, pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters heading for the mayor’s house nearby.
Mark McCloskey held an assault rifle, Patricia McCloskey a handgun. The couple, both lawyers, said they feared for their own safety and were defending their home.
And the Republican party said booya, we want more of that, let’s have them at our convention! Vote racist!
Also, per Heather Cox Richardson, they’re inviting “Nick Sandmann, the smirking young man in a MAGA hat who faced off against a Native American activist, Nathan Phillips, outside the Lincoln Memorial in January 2019”. And they’re requesting permission to set off fireworks on the Mall after he finishes his acceptance rant, even though DC doesn’t want it and it’s probably illegal.
Oh, also, Al Sharpton is planning to have a civil rights demonstration the day after the convention. Should be fun.
That was in the article, but I don’t find the Nick Sandmann part as grotesque as the pointing guns at protesters part.
God I wish Trump’s head would explode right now.
If low class has been seeking its most fundamental element, then it need seek now more. Donald Trump must be its quark equivalent.
Demonic quark. Oh, wait, that sounds like a band name, doesn’t it? Possibly alternative rock?
I think these two seem like excellent representatives for today’s Republican Party. I hope they are enshrined in a suitably majestic painting.
A good photo meme comparing R’s and D’s and how they deal with protests and bravery: The R side is that gun toting couple, and the D side is that naked protester in Portland.
Mike, are you suggesting nudity before guns? ;-)
Nudity Before Guns! I love it, I might have to steal that for my campaign bumper stickers and, um, T-shirts? Masks, headbands/bandanas, , hats, armbands… need to get the message out there!
OB @#2:
As it appears to be in its normal state, which is full of shit, that might not be such a good idea.
@9 Judging by twitter, his head exploded all over us a long time ago. :P
But the very idea of George Floyd’s family speaking at the Democratic convention is so terrible that it warrants racist tweets. Ooookay.
I’ll say this for Republicans, they aren’t ashamed to display their hypocrisy.
And before anybody else says it, yes, I am aware that everything following ‘ashamed’ in the last sentence is both redundant and could be replaced with ‘of anything’.
Democrats: “We are America”
Republicans: “We are these assholes”
