If you’re offended by Joel Pett’s cartoon, are you also offended by Trump’s racism? (barf alert)
Lexington Herald-Leader ^ | 10/29/2019 | Linda Blackford

Posted on 10/29/2019 3:50:09 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Joel Pett’s Sunday cartoon, which showed Attorney General candidate Daniel Cameron hanging on the KKK robes of President Donald Trump, provoked a social media uproar. Predictably, prominent Republicans like Scott Jennings called the cartoon racist for questioning why the only black candidate in the election was tying himself so closely to Trump. Cameron tweeted out the cartoon and dismissed “elites.”

The cartoon was harsh, uncomfortable, provocative, exaggerated and outrageous, as editorial cartoons are supposed to be. It’s also true that Cameron, who is black, advertises his endorsement from and ties to Trump, who has proven for the past three years, and before, that he’s racist. With Trump, it’s both what he says and what he does that shows his bigotry, not just toward black Americans, but Mexicans, Muslims, anyone who comes from “sh--hole” countries that he wants to block from entering the U.S. As Pett inscribed on Trump’s sign, you can point to Trump’s views on the Central Park 5, birtherism, telling Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to “go home”, the Muslim ban, the “fine people” on either side of the Charlottesville riots.

So, instead of apologizing or even firing the cartoonist, they double down, recycling falsehoods including the Charlottesville lie that Trump stated the rioters were "fine people" - something he never said and never even remotely implied - indeed, he went out of his way to condemn the rioters, and this article defends the Ilhan Omar and Rashinda Tlaib who have actually engaged in multiple bigoted and racist comments.

The Left needs to be brought to justice on this by soundly defeating them in November. I hope voters are paying attention not only in Kentucky but everywhere else that has off-off year elections.

Seems like there’s something badly, badly wrong with Lexington. It’s like the place is on the California coast. The Catholic bishop there is a total weirdo—an LGBTQ fanatic who thinks Trump is the anti-Christ.

Apparently they believe that there are 65 million KKK members in this country.

And an outright lie.

They’re upset that the incident at Charlottesville didn’t quite produce the desired results. They’re itching for that Kent State moment, but Heather Heier, instead of being mowed down by a psycho with an AR15 was mowed down by a psycho in a Dodge Challenger.

20+ years ago when the SF Chron ran an ugly bigoted anti-GOP cartoon I canceled my subscription and never looked back.

When a fool offends, only a fool responds. Remain silent, but remember.

She also recycles old Dem fairy tales of racist Democrats switching parties en masse and becoming Republicans (which never occurred)- indeed, Eisenhower gained supported in the South AFTER he sent troops to enforce integration policies. This article is false from start to finish.

Hmmmm... Any lawyer-Freepers wanting to chime in with an opinion on whether or not that article fits the legal definition of libel?

Here in Tulsa, the Libs always schedule tax increase, and bond proposals on "off cycle" election dates. They give government employees and teachers the day off to vote.

When a fool successfully beguiles the populace unchallenged, those who remained silent lose elections and become slaves of the fool.
