NY Times, NowThis accused of trying to 'cancel' Susan B. Anthony, Dems blast Trump pardon

President Trump’s posthumous pardon of Susan B. Anthony did not receive the warmest welcome from Democrats and members of the media.

On Tuesday, the president marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave the women the right to vote, by granting a pardon of the famed suffragette, who was arrested in 1872 for violating laws that had permitted only men to vote in the presidential election and was later convicted for voting illegally and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and court costs.

However, an excerpt in The New York Times report on the pardon raised eyebrows. It said of Anthony: “She is also an increasingly divisive figure, adopted by anti-abortion forces and criticized for relegating (b)lack suffragists to the sidelines.” […]

The liberal outlet NowThis later in the day shared a video explaining “why Susan B. Anthony doesn’t deserve your ‘I Voted’ stickers, highlighting the tradition of women voters who place such stickers on Anthony’s gravestone.”

“They have perpetuated idealized versions of Anthony and her white colleagues such as Carrie Chapman Catt and Elizabeth Cady Stanton,” NowThis producer Luria Freeman said. “Evidence of their ruthless racial bias has been pushed to the shadows, enabling the erasure of their women of color counterparts who also fought tirelessly for the right to vote.” …

The GOPe are the allies of the Dems. Their job is to steal votes from conservatives by lying about being conservative themselves.


Yep. Just today Dems supported a local “conservative” for my county commission in the GOP primary. Unfortunately, he won. The incumbent who lost voted against mask mandates and I have no doubt the new “conservative” will deliver for Democrats on growth and masking.

This is 4D chess ladies and gentlemen. Trump, by praising or doing something positive for one of the Left’s idols forces them to then destroy their idol.

Its brilliant!

He’s doing just like last election cycle.

Does something and the left melts down over it, talks about it for weeks, and carries it far further than it ever would have gotten if he paid to have it advertised.

I love the way he gets the left to do his campaigning for him.

Really? Are they talking about Sanger?

I guess you missed it, but yes. Sanger was cancelled a couple weeks ago, about the same time as John Muir. Hard to keep up with all the left's former heroes being tossed under the BLM bus.

I wonder what would happen if he pardoned Alger Hiss. Because Richard Nixon proved his guilt, Nixon was hounded by the left for decades. Now, if President Trump pardons Alger Hiss, would the left come out and say he pardoned a communist. Just asking.

The Democrats had plenty of time and plenty of chances to pardon Miss Anthony. In my opinion, they have no room to complain because PDJT did the honorable thing.

Well, they can because they are Democrats, after all!

It’s a conditioned reflex. If Trump said something good about her, that proves she was a racist.

Speaking of Castro and perhaps the mob, why not pardon all mobsters? After all, they are just keeping the peace. Right?

Okay, probably too tired to post at this point. LOL!

Maybe the next pardon he issues will be for Anna Eleanor Roosevelt...

After all, we should be able to "forgive" communists when they have been dead for at least 6-decades...
However, because of my hard-earned bias, this excludes Chinese communists...

Which brings us to the subject of the NYT’s racist past and origins...

Hmmm....

IF tomorrow DJT cured COVID-19, The NY SLIMES & The Washington COMPOST would champion the virus as “effective population control” & try to blame the POTUS for discovering a cure.

Among my friends, those 2 “papers of record” are simply SICK JOKES.

Pardon Eleanor Roosevelt for being a communist, or pardoning her for being able to eat corn on the cob through a picket fence?
