A former national surrogate for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., ripped into white congressional Democrats on Monday after they wore African-patterned garb and knelt in a demonstration against racism and police brutality.
"I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that they draped these white people in kente cloth to 'honor' him. This has to be hell," author Frederick Joseph tweeted, also arguing that black Americans are "being pandered to, and ultimately, disrespected."
In a tweet thread, he argued that Democrats were failing in their attempts to be helpful amid ongoing strife surrounding George Floyd's death.
He specifically took aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who joined other Democrats in kneeling inside of the Capitol Visitor Center on Thursday. Democratic members of both the House and Senate knelt for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to honor Floyd, representing the amount of time he was pinned down by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
**SNIP**
"This is a mess," Joseph said in one tweet. In another, he added: "If anyone can’t understand why Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and them dressed up like they’re trying to sneak into Wakanda is disrespectful and appropriative you have a great deal to learn." Wakanda is the fictional land in Africa associated with the Marvel superhero Black Panther.

LOL.
Maybe now it's "Help, I was virtue signaling white guilt and I can't get up."
Think of two or three of Nancy Pelosi's underpaid black house servants at the mansion running in with buckets of hot water and epsom salt with compresses for her aching knees tonight.
"Chop, chop you slackers. What are you, stupid? I'm in pain here."
Nadler’s afraid he’ll pop a stomach staple.

“Sorry, you guys over there. No time now to go take a p#ss. The photo-op is in progress. Sheesh.”
African Garb? I thought they had appropriated some old Navajo rugs.
Chuckles is displaying the Vulcan salute. Could explain a few things.
They worship Baal!
was he killed?....
Sorry! Forgot the “allegedly” I’ve been using on each mention here.
Meth, fentanyl and pre-existing health conditions, plus Covid, for gosh sakes, but still they say “not a factor in his death.”
Nancy kinda looks like Cunta Kente.
5.56mm
To answer the question everyone is thinking: no, they don’t realize how stupid they look.
King Kamehameha I, of Hawaii.
Did they have nooses around their necks?
Cause that would have been a nice touch.
Wow. Nancy was down for the count.
LOL! They would have done it.
They are like the white police officer on “Sanford and Son” who was always using the jargon of the day wrongly. He was endearing; these clowns are not.
What a freak show!
What blatant, disgusting pandering.
