Black Caucus rejects Trump invitation for WH meeting
The Hill ^ | June 21, 2017 | John Bowden

The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Wednesday rejected President Trump's invitation for the 49-member group to join him at the White House for a meeting, citing his unresponsiveness on previous attempts at policy engagement as proof that Trump isn't interested in working with the members beyond a photo op.

Sounds racist to me.

They refuse to meet with a white man.

Next time they have another exclusionary meeting at the Capital, Trump should drop in on them and sit himself down, next to Maxine.

Organizing based on skin color is collectivism and group identity politics. There is nothing Christian or conservative about that approach. Leave it to the socialists to do that.

These jumped up idiots don’t even have the intelligence to be worth Trump’s time. They are petulant children throwing a tantrum. Trump should ignore them. He extended appropriate courtesy to them, and they returned that with childish rancor. I cannot generate any respect for any member of the congressional black caucus, whose protests label them the most racist group of all. Jerks!

The CBC is a fraud and this proves it.

One often pulls back a nub when extending an olive branch to the Left.

They should be bell hops somewhere rather than congressmen.

They’re doing it while we sit on our hands and mind our manners and say nothing that “might” offend.

ENOUGH!

Presidents do age. It’s stressful. Trump did not have to do this. He should be chilling by the pool. But he loves America. We owe him our gratitudes. Regardless if he is not 100 % conservative. We’ve been burnt by that label before. A President with cojones. MAGA!!!!

Our President should announce that the time slot refused by these idiots is now open for inviting 50 to 100 “Victims of Black Crimes”. BBQ included.
