Wes Moore: Claims Trump’s Conviction Will Help Him with Black Voters ‘Deeply Offensive’
Breitbart ^ | 06/02/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/02/2024 11:36:29 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that it was “deeply offensive” to claim former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in the New York business document trial will help him with black voters.

Host George Stephanopoulos said, “There’s a debate going on in circles about how to take on the former president, how central to make the fact that he is now a convicted felon. Where do you stand on that?”

Get yourself a helmet and stop being offended. 🙄

It either does or doesn’t, being offended by it won’t factor in it the premise.

That logic is just out of grasp for him.

Deeply offensive to white liberals who never talk to black people.

MD is just a pathetic state in nearly every way imaginable. Including selecting leaders.

Or only talk to black people about their race. Like when Lionel castigated Meathead on All In The Family: “Why don’t we ever talk about the weather? Black people have weather too, you know!”

Interesting talking point for the weekend. What’s the DEM gameplan with this?

Both his parents work(ed) in the media. He apparently came from an affluent family as he attended the private boarding school of Valley Forge Military Academy. Went to John Hopkins and Wolfson College in Oxford, England. Moore served in the 82nd Airborne, served in Afghanistan and reached the rank of Captain.

According to Wikipedia, he's had past problems with unpaid taxes. He owed $21,000 to the City of Baltimore, the story of which made the newspapers. After the article appeared, he paid the back taxes, claiming he had no knowledge he owed that much.

Even CNN did an article on him for embellishing his childhood and where he grew up. He was later criticized for failing to correct television interviewers who incorrectly said he was awarded a Bronze Star.

He's had some other issues that can be found on his Wikipedia page.

First the straw man: Trump’s “conviction” will be what helps black voters identify with him.

Second, the knockdown. It’s offensive that everyone assumes all blacks are convicted.

Now the reality. It isn’t the conviction. It is the false charges and the railroading leading to the conviction. It’s the unequal justice leading to the conviction. It’s a myriad of things leading to the so called “conviction” that black voters may just identify with.

Of course, this straw man stuff is just an attempt by the usual suspects to try to magically make the injustice disappear by treating what happened to Trump as part of the legit legal system. Fox is amongst the culprits.

The other usual suspects have turned up their favorite tool. The “debunk” tool they used so well to try an normalize the craziness of Covid. Five CNN panelists get together, agree on something and declare any counter opinions as having been “debunked” and their opinion to be the “science.” Now instead of “science” we will be treated to it being “the law.”

He is correct. Black Americans are well known for their exemplary law abiding behavior, celebrated the world over as model citizens. Only Scandinavian mermaids have a lower crime rate than black Americans.

The kangaroo court and its’ jesters’ actions should help Trump with anyone who was a rationally functioning brain of any race or other background.

I’m deeply offended that the governor is deeply offended.

But Joe Biden reclassifying Marijuana months during the Election season isn’t insulting and pandering?

Notice how no one is offended that Joe and his family created 20 LLCS and got $30 Million for nothing? Oh, it was for something.

Don't blacks have equal justice under today's legal system? Are you saying BLM has a point??

Being offended is a full-time profession and a life-long habit. Might as well tell bears to stop crapping in the woods. Somewhere, there’ll be a bear who insists on it.
