I am warming up to this guy

[avital2]

he didn’t have to take that on. unforced error.

[mylife]

he’s right, but now he is dead

[BenLurkin]

Not nearly as useless as Kwanzaa.

[Jemian]

I have to disagree. While I do NOT agree with reparations, I have no problem with celebrating the end of slavery in this country.

[Yo-Yo]

I am warming up to this guy

[HamiltonJay]

Dig Deeper, this guys a fraud, from top to bottom...

[Socon-Econ]

Gotta disagree. The end to slavery is worth celebrating — by whites as well as blacks.

[tomkat]

called Juneteenth a “useless” holiday

Right up there in uselessness with 'MLK' anything.

[cgbg]

The holiday is very useful—it stokes up anti-white hate.

He is making the typical mainstream conservative mistake—confusing errors in judgement with evil intent of the enemy.

[Altura Ct.]

It is

[escapefromboston]

He’s right since no one cares about it and people already forgot why it’s a day off.
Probably one of the more embarrassing attempts at pandering by polticians in years

[PeterPrinciple]

Ramaswamy’s remarks, first reported by NBC News, come after he celebrated the holiday earlier this year on June 19, saying it is about honoring how far the country has come and how people can advance through hard work, commitment and dedication. He called for a range of proposals concerning the country’s elections on Saturday, including that all voting happen on one day, having all paper ballots and declaring Election Day a national holiday instead of one of the “useless” ones.

Does not quite match the headline. A statement that has it both ways.

[taxcontrol]

Juneteenth should be celebrated as the day that the Republicans ended Democrat slavery.

[UnwashedPeasant]

"I am warming up to this guy"

Me too. The same way I feel about Lindsey Graham every 6 years during election season. The same way I felt about ultra-conservative Paul Ryan during his campaign season.

Ramaswamy speaks the language very well, but he is new and unproven.

“ I am warming up to this guy ”

You are not alone. More and more people are warming to him as they learn about him. You can tell from the YouTube comments.

[lee martell]

He is correct.

[tflabo]

Just don’t make it a Federal holiday. Otherwise let those who wish to celebrate it do so.

[albie]

It’d be nice if blacks knew something about history and what the Emancipation Proclamation act actually was and what it accomplished. Instead, the left weaponizes the act and Juneteenth to pit races against each other and to erase history via replacing Independence Day with it.

Same with BHM. Ask any black person what portion of BH are they celebrating. They might say “MLK did good shit”. That’d be about it. Otherwise, again, BHM is being weaponized. As is Gay Pride Month.

[NorthMountain]

I'm not 'warming up to him'.

I agree with him on this, however. I go even farther: "Juneteenth" is worse than useless. It's evil. Its purpose is to stir up race hatred. The same is true of "Black History Month" and the Michael ("martin luther") King holiday.

Away with them all!

Similar to Kwanza. 😄
