CAIR Wants Twitter to Suspend Trump for ‘Racist’ Use of the Word ‘Thugs.’ Obama Used It, Too
CNS News ^ | June 1, 2020 | Patrick Goodenough

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding that Twitter suspend President Trump’s “racist” account, over his recent tweeted warning that looters exploiting protests sparked by the death of George Floyd risk being shot.

CAIR based its charge that the warning amounted to a “racist threat of violence” on the fact that Trump used the word “thugs” to describe those looting, vandalizing and torching businesses.

“Thugs,” explained CAIR, is “a race-coded word that bigoted politicians use to negatively describe African-American protestors.”

Get with the times CAIR, Thugs are pasty white thin soy boys and soy girls who live with parents and wear black and hit people with bats and bike locks so that certain people with different political philosophies cannot live free in America. They have joined some of your tribe on the terrorism list.

“Thug” comes from “tugee”, who were Islamic assassins (hashassins) predating the United States - so that’s another memo CAIR can stick up their collective pooper.

“A handful of criminals and thugs who tore up the place,” were the words Obama used to describe the perpetrators of the violent behavior.

Speaking at the White House on April 28, 2015, a day after the rioting erupted, he said there was “no excuse for the kind of violence that we saw yesterday.”

CAIR, Antifa, and the rest of their ilk should be very thankful that there is a constitution and that Patriots adhere to it.

I really hope CAIR is helping to fund ANTIFA...maybe, just maybe, we can rid ourselves of a lot of nuisances at once.

Twitter is being used to plan terrorist actions.

CAIR is also a terrorist organization and should be put down.

CAIR should have been designated a terrorist organization long ago.
