Oh, we’re back to this again. For a White House intern was captured throwing up what many on the Left say is a white power hand gesture in a recent photograph with the president. The picture included President Donald Trump and the fall intern class all had them giving a thumbs up for the photograph, except Jack Breuer, who was giving the ‘OK’ sign, which has been used by virtually everyone. Progressives claim the three fingers form a “W,” while the index finger curling to meet the thumb to form an “O” shape somehow forms a “P.” WP= White power in the land of social media leftism. Has it been used by the alt-right crew to troll the liberal media? Yes. Does it make it an actual white power gesture? No. Even the Anti-Defamation League said this was symbol meant nothing (via Newsweek):
Meet Jack Breuer.
He was a White House Intern.
He recently posed with the President of the United States.
Notice the hand gesture he's making...
That's the hand gesture for "White Power"

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) claimed the gesture is not a hate symbol but a hoax started by the anonymous discussion board 4chan. In February, the group said 4chan users went on a mission to confuse social media by arguing that the OK symbol now stood as a sign of white supremacy.
"If someone presents you with a symbol and says it is the big new white supremacist symbol, you should be appropriately skeptical," Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the ADL's Center on Extremism, said in a May post.
Many Americans began using the symbol to impersonate Trump, who often made the gesture during his campaign speeches.
In some of our intern pictures, I emulated the OK sign the President sometimes makes. That was foolish. I should have listened more closely to the Commander-in-Chief and given the thumbs up. (1/2)— Jack Breuer (@jjbreue) December 29, 2017
I’m proud of my Jewish heritage and strongly reject the hateful views associated with racist white power organizations. I would never make common cause with them. (2/2)— Jack Breuer (@jjbreue) December 29, 2017
Now, with that being said, Breuer expressed regret for deviating from the rest of the group in the photo and causing undue drama. He said he was merely emulating the president, as he’s given the ‘OK’ gesture many times on the stump. It’s just something everyone does, but in the era of Trump Derangement Syndrome from the Left—the freak-outs over nothing are pervasive. Breuer has no ties to far right wing groups. He's also Jewish, so he's not a Nazi either. There’s nothing to see here; move along.
NEW: White House intern Jack Breuer accused of flashing white nationalist hand gesture by @DailyMail tells me he was simply emulating @POTUS well known OK sign, has Jewish heritage, and has no association with far right groups https://t.co/FGpQfED18K pic.twitter.com/gqNOdOpGYf— Saagar Enjeti (@esaagar) December 29, 2017
Up your's and the horse you rode in on?
He’s going to remove bigotry from the Trump WH.
He need professional help (and maybe plastic surgery). Sicko sees bigotry where none exists.
...
Mr Green looks like a commercial for Preparation H.
Every racial group has a stereotypical characteristic. Blacks are good at dancing and singing. Hispanics are good cooks. Asians are good at business. Whites are good at winning wars.
Pick your favorite
That young lady at PRESIDENT Trump’s right shoulder should be a reporter..
SHE IS ‘NIT’ Picking.
I thought the ‘new’ thumbs up meant SIT ON IT HILLARY!
Touch your thumb to your pinky, turn your hand facing the ‘audience’ and tell them to READ BETWEEN THE LINES.
Face the audience and brush your chin with the front of your fingers....
Get the right audience and they will get up and walk out.
Lets see, no facial expressions, no hand gestures, walk around with your hands in you pockets and get accused of playing pocket pool...
GEEZ LUIZ, what is a soul to do?
Well, they all can take a flying intercourse at a rolling pastry with a hole in the center.
Is there a “white power” sign? Does anyone know any “white power” people who can verify?
How many times have Obama administration people made the ISIS sign? Anyone counting?
Have they lynched the black intern behind the white power girl intern yet?
Democrat Cong Al Green Slept With And Then Sued Allegedly Drug-Addicted Staffer
Daily Caller ^ | 11/27/17 | Luke Rosiak / FR Posted by markomalley
Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green had sex with a staffer who he said was a drug addict and then sued her when she threatened to go public with claims she suffered a hostile work environment, saying he “will not be extorted or blackmailed.”
Lucinda Daniels, his onetime district director, claimed she suffered a hostile work environment, claimed sexual harassment and demanded $1.8 million. Green sued her, saying she was using their sexual relationship to shake him down at the behest of other unnamed conspirators.
“Daniels has threatened to go public with her complaints if the Congressman does not per her money. Green has done nothing wrong and refuses to pay ‘hush money’ just for political expediency. Green will not be extorted or blackmailed by Daniels. He will not be the victim of a shakedown by Daniels and her agents. Green demands vindication of his actions and now sues Daniels for declaratory judgment relief relating to her workplace allegations and her quest for money,” documents Green filed in federal court in 2008 say.
Daniels also unknowingly dialed the congressman while she was allegedly buying cocaine. Green submitted the voicemail, now sealed, as evidence in the case. In the recording, “Daniels is heard ‘snorting’ the cocaine immediately before questioning whether it was ‘cut’ with some other substance and being assured that it was “straight off the ki[lo] … Daniels asks for the purchase price of the drugs, which she calls her ‘Tuesday special’ price. In response, the drug dealer sells her the drugs for $40.”
Cong Green said Daniels “act[ed] sluggish at work as through under the influence of drugs” and “slurr[ed] her speech as if under drug influence.” He claims she fell “asleep on the phone in the middle of telephone conversations with staff and the Congresswoman” and had “a general appearance of incoherence at times due to apparent drug use.”
Lucinda Daniels, the staffer, claimed she suffered a hostile work environment.
Green confronted Daniels on the drug use and suggested she seek treatment. Not long afterward, Daniels “claims the Congressman retaliated against her in the workplace because of her gender and because she refused additional romantic requests.” Green rejected her claims as false.
Though the case apparently went unnoticed, Green’s office put out a preemptive statement Monday in conjunction with Daniels saying:"In the present climate (after Conyers and Franken were outed), we wish to jointly quiet any curious minds about our former and present relationship with one another. We are friends, and have long been friends. At an unfortunate time in our lives, when both of our feelings were hurt, we hastily made allegations and charges against one another that have been absolutely resolved."
"This matter has been resolved without payment of any money or transfer of any consideration of any kind by either of us to the other. As friends, we have both agreed that we see no need to make further statements regarding this absolutely resolved matter." They're friends, he added.
==================================
Hah. Friends. She musta got a bundle to save Green's filthy backside.
The left is so obsessed with race.
Bill Clinton is looking at all those hot interns and is saying, damn Hillary you really messed up. Look at what I am missing out on. Hehehehe
And they said that those warning against Communist influence were engaging in unfounded hysteria.
You don’t need to make the sign if you wear your White Power Secret Decoder Ring.
That's as good as it gets!
Good point. I’m a straight, married, Christian, employed, white, male, father, conservative. I’m dead center in what the libtards would call racist, white power bigots. But I will admit I’m clueless. I don’t recognize any of these alleged dog whistles, signs, secret handshakes - none of it. Did I miss something? Was I absent that day in school, miss a work or church meeting? I would ask where I could find a list of these, but the only source seems to be libtard imagination. I’ll be going along, minding my own business, suddenly statues are racist, or chicken sandwiches, or peanut butter sandwiches. There’s no rhyme nor reason, no logic nor fact to back any of it up. It would be funny if they weren’t so serious about it.
No. Trump can no longer use that old Magnolia tree for lynchings, and a new tree has not yet been chosen. Be patient.
A. The comment from Brian Krassenstein is a useful guide here. There is now a good rule for Twitter I call the Krassenstein effect - if Brian (or his clone brother Ed) say something, assume the exact opposite to be true.
B. Get conservatives to stay busy saying “Breuer did no such thing!!” rather than the far better “If he did, so what?”
A new tree will take time to take root, and even then it’ll be too short to hang anyone from. Did they have to get rid of that magnolia tree? Dang!
Note to snowflakes lurking: This is a parody of your stupid assumptions. Nobody’s planning to lynch anybody from our side. Are you?
