Blacks voted
overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. Republicans engaged in voter suppression
tactics nationwide. Clinton won the popular vote. Trump’s chief strategist and
senior counselor Steve Bannon is a bigot. Senator Jeff Sessions, Trump’s pick
for Attorney General, is a racist.
These are all
Democratic talking points describing all things Trump and Republican. Just as
sure as the sun rises and sets, liberal Democrats, especially Blacks, will call
anyone a racist, if they don’t agree with them on any range of issues.
According to
liberals, if you don’t support open borders, you are a racist; if you don’t
support homosexuality, you are a racist; if you don’t believe in global
warming, you are a racist; if you support voter ID laws, you’re a racist; if
you support separate bathrooms for men and women, then you are a racist.
And because
Trump wants Bannon in the White House, then he must be a racist.
Well, I say
that if Steve is a racist, then we need to have a lot more racists in America.
Most of the
people who are trying to tear down Bannon have never met nor had any
conversations with him. Steve is an extremely serious and insightful political
operative and I have especially enjoyed working with him in pursuing one of my
signature goals: getting more Blacks involved in the Republican Party.
Over the past
year, Steve has been very helpful to me in this regard. Steve has always been
responsive and available to me, when I needed to use him as a sounding board.
His working understanding of many of the dynamics going on within the Black
community, relative to the Republican Party and conservatism, is astonishing.
His understanding of these dynamics are more insightful than many of our
so-called media appointed “Civil Rights” leaders, who simply want to be patted
on the head by the likes of Obama and Hillary Clinton and be told “atta boy.”
Senator
Sessions is going to be a great U.S. Attorney General. I worked his first U.S.
Senate race back in 1996. Again, if Jeff is a racist, please, can we have more
racists like him?
Sessions
is labeled a racist by radical leftist groups like the NAACP, the ACLU, and the
NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund, to name a few. Sessions is pro-life,
pro-traditional marriage, believes those in the country illegally should be
deported and he actually believes in the rule of law. So, what makes him a
racist?
This is
Exhibit A in how intellectually depraved liberals react to those who have a
different worldview than they do. It also shows how morally bankrupt they are
also.
How can
anyone argue that Sessions is a racist when he, as a young lawyer in the U.S.
Attorney’s office in Alabama, desegregated their school system, literally put
the KKK out of business, and then had their leader sentenced to death in a
civil rights murder case?
Liberalism
accepts nothing short of 100 percent fealty to its radical ideology or it will
use all the might of its liberal media machine to brand you a racist, a
xenophobe,homophobe, etc.
It is totally
incompatible with the liberal mind construct that a person can disagree with
them and yet still be a good person. To them, it’s a zero sum game.
As a Trump
supporter and a lifelong Republican, I will do everything within my power to
make sure Sessions is confirmed as Attorney General and has solid ties within
the mainstream of the Black community; not the radical left that groups like
the NAACP, the National Urban League, and the Congressional Black Caucus
represent.
I have
already received several phone calls from respected Blacks with Alabama roots,
who are ready to come out front in support of Sessions’ nomination. Of course
liberals conveniently ignore lifelong friends of Sessions who don’t align with
the racist narrative they are using to attempt to destroy him.
One of the
most successful Black businessmen in the state of Alabama, Don Watkins, is one
of Sessions’ friends who had nothing but glowing things to say about the
congressman. So, according to these Black liberals, I guess Watkins is a
racist and a sellout, huh?
I plan on
doing everything I can to work with Trump’s transition team to help with the
racial issues the NAACP, the National Urban League, and the Congressional Black
Caucus are going to throw at Sessions and by extension team Trump.
I strongly
implore the Trump transition team to unleash outside advocates like me and
others to work with them to vigorously defend good people like Steve Bannon and
Jeff Sessions.
I know Bannon
and Sessions feel they have no need to respond to these lies being pushed by
liberals. Trust me, as one who makes a living from communications, you do need
to respond, or at a minimum, have supporters with credibility in the Black
community to respond on your behalf.
A lie that is
oft repeated becomes the truth.
