To the Left, former President Donald Trump is a racist. Not solely is Trump a racist, however he’s solely the most recent in a protracted line of Republican racists.
From MSNBC’s Ali Velshi: “Opposite to what some would possibly suppose, the previous president shouldn’t be an anomaly in American politics. Whereas he could also be unmatched when it comes to his narcissism, Trumpism itself shouldn’t be a novel concept. The motion he ushered is in step with the Republican Get together’s Southern technique, a long-term plan developed in response to the civil rights motion that sought to take advantage of white Southerners’ racial anxieties. It was a plan that Richard Nixon leaned into for his political campaigns and his presidency. He used the phrase ‘silent majority’ to consult with the white Southerners he was attempting to court docket, and his name for legislation and order was a canine whistle opposing the protests and marches that had been frequent within the Sixties and early ’70s.”
So, former President Richard Nixon, who employed the Southern technique, was a racist, proper? Yet one more huge fats liberal lie.
Pat Buchanan was the aide to Nixon and an architect of the so-called Southern technique. The purpose? Woo Southern Democrats and get them to vote Republican. Buchanan wrote: “In 1956, as vice chairman, Nixon went to Harlem to declare, ‘America can’t afford the price of segregation.’ The next yr, Nixon acquired a private letter from Dr. King thanking him for serving to to influence the Senate to move the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Nixon supported the civil rights acts of 1964, 1965 and 1968.”
Martin Luther King Jr. had a a lot nearer relationship with Sen. Nixon then he did with Sen. John F. Kennedy.
Buchanan, in his ebook “The Biggest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority,” wrote: “Nixon blasted Dixiecrats ‘in search of to squeeze the final ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.’”
Buchanan continued, “Through the civil rights struggles of the ’50s and ’60s, Gov. Orval Faubus used the Nationwide Guard to maintain black college students out of Little Rock Excessive. Gov. Ross Barnett refused to let James Meredith into Ole Miss. Gov. George Wallace stood within the door on the College of Alabama, to dam two black college students from coming into. All three governors had been Democrats. All acted in accord with the ‘Dixie Manifesto’ (commonly known as the Southern Manifesto) of 1956, which was signed by 19 senators, all Democrats, and 80 Democratic congressmen.
“Among the many signers of the manifesto, which known as for large resistance to the Brown choice desegregating public faculties, was the vice-presidential nominee on Adlai Stevenson’s ticket in 1952, Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama. …
“The Democratic Get together was the social gathering of slavery, secession and segregation, of ‘Pitchfork Ben’ Tillman and the KKK. ‘Bull’ Connor, who turned the canine free on black demonstrators in Birmingham, was the Democratic Nationwide Committeeman from Alabama.”
Then-Rep. Keith Ellison, additionally former deputy chair of the DNC, thought segregationist Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who ran for president in 1968, was a Republican. Ellison, in attacking Trump in 2016, had the next alternate on a panel hosted by George Stephanopoulos of ABC Information. Stephanopoulos, the previous prime aide to Invoice Clinton turned “journalist,” did not set Ellison straight. Sadly for Ellison and Stephanopoulos, there was one other panelist, Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.):
Ellison: “On the similar time (referring to Trump), we do have the worst Republican nominee since George Wallace.”
Cole: “Effectively, first, I need to appropriate my buddy. George Wallace was a proud Democrat and ran for the Democratic nomination.”
The Democrat reminiscence gap additionally forgets it was the social gathering of slavery, the Confederacy, Jim Crow, Dred Scott, the KKK and the Southern Manifesto.
Beneath Trump, the robust financial system, low inflation, low gasoline costs, felony justice reform, alternative zones, and help for varsity selection and insurance policies selling a safe southern border disproportionately benefitted blacks.
This would possibly clarify why, in response to a USA As we speak ballot, solely 64% of blacks help Biden, removed from the 87% who voted for him in 2020. However Trump, in fact, is racist.
