Kentucky Political Cartoon Portrays Black GOP Candidate Holding Trump’s KKK Robe
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | OCTOBER 28, 2019 | Cameron Cawthorne

Posted on 10/28/2019 10:42:57 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Daniel Cameron, a black Republican candidate for attorney general of Kentucky, pushed back Sunday against a political cartoon showing him holding onto a Ku Klux Klan robe being worn by President Donald Trump.

The cartoon, which was published in the Lexington Herald-Leader, portrays Trump as a member of the KKK and shows him walking away from a burning cross. Cameron—depicted with light skin—is shown happily clutching on the tail end of his robe.

"This is what the @HeraldLeader —a ‘tolerant,' left-leaning newspaper—thinks about black folks who dare to be Republican. You're a racist following the KKK unless you hate @realDonaldTrump," Cameron tweeted. "Let’s make history on November 5th and show we don't take orders from the elites anymore."

The Herald-Leader's editorial board endorsed Cameron's Democratic opponent, Gregory Stumbo, for attorney general

This starting to get at least some national attention now by appearing in this publication...hopefully will be picked up by the talk radio circuit and help boost GOP turnout in November for this and other elections.

I think there’s a chance to sway black men up to 30 or 35 percent.

Trump got 18 percent last time.

But the black women are a lost cause.

That 30 to 35 percent among black men, if attained, makes dems winning PA and Michigan and maybe another swing state or two unwinnable for dems.

I looked at the populations and the number of voters Trump had over clinton in taking some states.

If black men had gone 96 percent for hillary instead of 78, i think we lose a few of the states we won.

Hope for black men. Who knew?

And if they weren’t so BLINDED by dems, they would know that many of us would be Very Happy to build and have the lives we have.

But it’s a long hard road.

Cameron’s a cool dude and will make a great AG. He’s not afraid to challenge the race hustlers who want to keep all blacks on the Democrat plantation for eternity.

"Doesn’t this prove democrats are racists?"

Yes it does. They are judging men by the color of their skin. This is just what Martin Luther King told us not to do. When they say a white man is racist, they are actually engaging in psychological abuse. It is the equivalent to calling a person ni**er based upon their skin color. A person should always be judged by the content of their character.

Since it references corn flakes...here is a story i just learned after watching murdoch mysteries. They frequently inject true stories.

Corn flakes were developed to prevent masterbation. No kidding.

Imagine if their were collectible playing cards or stickersthat featured the worst Democrat KKK members with a huge financial reward. Something like The McDonald’s Monopoly game.The truth needs to be understood.

It's called 'projection' in the psychotherapy game.

And, yeah. It does.

Except the comment from Kentucky radio host, Dawn Elliot, was to stop eating the “coon flakes” not corn flakes

The Lexington Herald-Leader is a newspaper owned by The McClatchy Company and based in the U.S. city of Lexington, Kentucky. The McClatchy is in a race to the bottom with the NYTimes.

It’s so frustrating that a certain percentage of the population simply “knows” that president Trump is basically like the KKK.

On what planet? Where’s the evidence? It’s ridiculous, but they don’t think about the claim, they simply assert.

The racists are the ones who will report what color wig a mugger was wearing but not what his skin color is. The racists are the ones who look the other way when some "teen" "plays" the knockout game. The racists are the ones who ignore the flash mobs that invade and loot convenience stores. And the racists are the ones who call Black Republicans racists.

The idiots who hate President Trump are so clueless! I am a former black radical who has become a conservative and have fled the Democrat party’s plantation. I was so radical, despite being the dependent of a retired military officer. While in college, I was living in the south side of Chicago, working as an intern for one one of the more radical members of the House of Representatives. Then one day the Lord got a hold of me and let me know I was going down the wrong path. That really woke me up and I realized that I was a slave on their plantation, so I decided to leave. That was about 38 or 39 years ago and I haven’t looked back since. I’m so glad I got away and it’s usually hard, I try to relate this to other people of color.

I read a story yesterday about some national polling showing President Trump taking as much as 42% of the black Male vote.

Story was on Free Republic yesterday:

Trump approval up to 42% with black males - makes 2020 election impossible for Democrats
