Susan B. Anthony museum rejects Trump pardon, says how he can really honor her

The museum dedicated to the memory of Susan B. Anthony has, on her behalf, declined President Donald Trump’s pardon of the late women’s suffrage leader.

The National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House in Rochester, New York, explained in a lengthy Twitter thread Tuesday why it objected to Trump’s pardon for Anthony, who was arrested and charged in 1872 for voting illegally.

It also suggested some other ways that Anthony could be honored.

Trump announced the pardon Tuesday on the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote.

Critics accused Trump of performing an empty gesture with the pardon, given his recent attacks on mail-in voting and bids to cast doubt on the result of the 2020 election.

Trump has claimed he’ll only lose to Democratic nominee Joe Biden in November if the vote is “rigged.”

The museum, where Anthony lived and was arrested, noted how she’d been “outraged to be denied a trial by jury” and proposed “if one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome.”

“Support for the Equal Rights Amendment would be well received,” it continued. “Advocacy for human rights for all would be splendid.”

“Anthony was also a strong proponent of sex education, fair labor practices, excellent public education, equal pay for equal work, and elimination of all forms of discrimination,” the museum said.

Fornicating ingrates. Illegitimate children of dubious parentage. Intellectually deficient sodomite-inclined wasters of oxygen. I’m trying to be polite and watch my language.

Copraphagic food waste exits.

If they can’t accept an olive branch, then screw them.

In that case dig up her grave and throw her skeleton in jail.

What would you expect from a museum that promotes this book for high school students:

Archer, Jules. Breaking Barriers: The Feminist Revolution, from Susan B. Anthony to Margaret Sanger to Betty Friedan. New York, N.Y., U.S.A.: Viking, 1991. Print.

https://susanb.org/high-school-teachers/

Even Planned Parenthood has admitted that Sanger was a vile racist eugenicist. But she’s good and Trump is bad?

The museum doesn’t get to reject the pardon. It’s done. Can’t be undone.

“if one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome.”

“Support for the Equal Rights Amendment would be well received,” it continued. “Advocacy for human rights for all would be splendid.”

“Anthony was also a strong proponent of sex education, fair labor practices, excellent public education, equal pay for equal work, and elimination of all forms of discrimination,”

Then once again, President Trump honored her.

"if one wants to honor Susan B. Anthony today, a clear stance against any form of voter suppression would be welcome."

Any effort to eliminate fraudulent voting IS a stance against voter suppression.

The museum can’t “reject” the pardon because she has been officially pardoned by President Trump. Period. Case closed.

I’ve never thought allowing women to vote was a good idea, especially the unmarried. Perhaps if they had been thankful, respectful, and considerate of all Americans I would have changed my stance. Regrettably, their emotional and partisan reaction supports my position.

Thank you. Word of mouth is better than any ‘reporter’ spinning opinions.

Does that make sense?

A pardon not accepted is not a pardon at all . . .

Not true. A pardon is an exercise of plenary power with no recourse. (Mike drop).

There is another similar Museum in Seneca Falls New York. One of my co-worker’s daughter who looked normal before she attended the University of Binghamton but now looks like a Rachel Maddow clone Works in that museum. Yep no rock-ribbed conservative to be found.

I highly doubt that...
