GOP Leader Admits Trump Is the Cause of the Insurrection
The Hopeful Black Language Aftermath of Trump’s Shooting
“All it takes is one person who is just unhinged to hear that and go out and act on it and think that’s their signal to go take somebody out.” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said. He also described Trump as a “strong man.” In his narrative Trump is a strong man who is unhinged that gives a signal to go and take somebody out. Was that somebody Mike Pence? That’s what America heard and saw on January 6th. See, he admitted it.
Steve Scalise, also shot like Trump just was, but in the hip in 2017, said that incendiary election rhetoric “needs to stop.” No offense, but has he heard Trump fire off nothing but incendiary remarks, or flaming racist comments, in the last three elections he’s run in? Like every day. Does he not connect the dots or even when he got shot, he was unable to come to the realization that all Trump’s vicious comments constantly debasing women and minorities for nine years can actually drive people mad and make them pick up a gun?
Of course not. White Southern Republicans are a special breed even of Republicans. They deep in the practice of white autocracy, known as Supremacy. Not listening to blacks and women and taking them seriously is their specialty.
