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.

It’s about time he figured it out. That’s what Democrats do for a living.

Well, shoot - if they were going to stage it, why didn’t they lay down and have someone put a knee on their necks and make it real? We all would have paid to see that - and who knows, we may even have followed their coffins around the country to pay them honor! We never get the breaks!
These people make me sick. I once hates them, now I despise them. And yes, hatred is legitimate human emotion. To bad.
Oops! Virtue-signal fail ...
The polling has to be scaring the sheit out of them.
So all the Christian Dem voters think this version of “every knee shall bend” is okay to apply to a black man who was killed?
And adoringly touching his gold casket is like the Golden Calf but not idolatry and wrong this time because of its black anti-police purposes?
Apologies to the genuine, sincere Christians here who find my two observations upsetting. What kind of “Christians” are the Dem voters?
hahahahahahahahahaahh... They looked SO FREAKING STUPID....and WHO the HELL is that African statue of with a SPEAR!!!! LOL!!! OMG!! SANITY in DEMOCRATS is GONE!!
Wonder how long before the brotha is denounced as an Uncle Tom or a house Negro?
Was he killed?
They’re all for symbolism - not a true feeling/bone in their bodies. Who gets the bill for the blankets and where did they come from? As if we’ll ever find out!
I think when he gave people his father's cell number it had nothing to do with a phone.
Nod to an old redneck joke list. Still love that line.
These people are evil, make no mistake about it.
I never got that. George Floyd dies as a result of a white cop kneeling on his neck, so BLM wants white people to kneel.
Why the Jazz hands? These people are idiots.
Has that been determined to be the cause of death?
Has that been determined to be the cause of death?
And, apparently in Dems’ minds, a black dude. lol
Let’s just be grateful that George Floyd wasn’t a Hassidic Jew. I’m not sure I could hold down my lunch seeing them all in Yarmulkes, beards, phylacteries, and prayer shawls.
