Politico raised eyebrows Thursday night with its description of Alice Marie Johnson, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of President Trump after being granted clemency while serving a life sentence.

Johnson, 63, was convicted of drug conspiracy and money laundering in 1996, but her story caught the attention of Kim Kardashian, who met the president at the White House to advocate for Johnson's clemency. Johnson has since become a criminal justice reform activist.

On Thursday evening, Politico tweeted about her RNC speech, but one phrase stood out from the rest of the post.

They're upset she's not on the plantation. By calling her a "prop" they have devalued her as a human being, as a black person, as a woman.

This nonsense calls for a Red wave landslide.

The only thing that surprises me about Biden making that stupid statement is that he didn’t say, “you isn’t black”.

“”She’s been propped up as one of the most prominent beneficiaries of the terms of the First Step Act. Kim Kardashian played a role in her prison release.””
