AFT’s Randi Weingarten warns in ‘unhinged’ speech of fascism, violence if Trump is elected
NY Post ^ | 07/23/2024 | Emily Crane

American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten has been ripped as an “unhinged lunatic” after she delivered a wild, political rally-style speech suggesting that former President Donald Trump was an “existential threat” to democracy.

The teachers’ union president screamed and shouted at her members as she warned of looming violence and fascism if Trump wins the 2024 election when she took the stage during the AFT’s annual convention in Houston, Texas, on Monday.

“The November elections will determine which path we take as a nation. Progress is indeed possible, but so is the eradication of the rights and freedoms we hold dear,” the union boss declared in her lengthy speech.

“Historians … who study threats to democracy and how fascists come to power conclude that it is seldom a dramatic event or attack that lets fascism in the door. The violence comes later after they are voted in,” she continued.

“Voting is still our best defense against tyranny and fascism.”

At one point, a fired-up Weingarten appeared to jump up and down on stage as she continued to rant into the microphone.

More evidence, as any were needed, that the public schools need to be closed — and that the members of that union need to find new careers in the exciting field of fast food preperation.

I haven’t heard from that troublesome munchkin Weingarten all summer. I used to get her and the late Dr. Ruth Westheimer mixed up.

Leftism is a serious, and dangerous mental disorder. There’s no cure.

> Teachers love their Lesbians ? <

I was an involuntary member of the AFT for many years. Never once did I get to vote for the state or national leaders. They are all picked at conventions.

And who goes to these conventions? Slates of delegates that are chosen at the local level using methods that would make Stalin blush.

The AFT preaches democracy. But the AFT doesn’t practice democracy in the least.

So....Lets talk about Democracy.

When is the last time the voters of the ‘Democratic’ party actually had a say in who would run for POTUS?

2016-Nope (rigged, see Seth Rich and Wiki leaks)
2020-Nope Rigged again for Joe Biden
2024-Nope, Joe gone.

So, like 12 years since they re-nominated Barry. Other than that it’s been 12 years of sham. Thats the Democracy they are trying to protect!!!

If you look at AFT leadership, the main violence they commit is violence to the eyes, requiring a big dose of eye bleach to counter act.

Unbeknownst to Ms. Weingarten, her speech was really a scary lesson on ...

1. Avoiding lunatics' control over kids by promoting vouchers, school choice, and restricting teachers' unions to work issues, not curricula or politics, and...

2. A general requirement that anyone in high education-related capacity should be a parent, a successful parent.

That this unelected, crazed leftist hag would have ANY influence (not to mention the huge power she has) over your child’s education should alone be reason enough for a total revolution in education policy in the USA.

These are the communist nutjobs in charge of your children in public schools. Think about that. This is why Laffin’ Harris and Gavin Hairgel want total control of your kids. Treasonous pukes. This whackjob should be swinging from a lamppost.

Notice she doesn't indicate from whom the violence will come.

These folks are telling you their plan and who they are. We should believe them.
