An Oklahoma political group is apologizing for making a reference to lynching.
The post was made on the Oklahoma Federation of Republican Womens Facebook page saying, The KKK was formed by the democrats to keep control over black Americans. The democrats of today just traded ropes for welfare.
When NewsChannel 4 contacted the state president of the Oklahoma Federation of Republican Women Pam Pollard, she told us on the phone she hadnt seen the post.
She read the post while she was still on the phone with us, and it was deleted before the end of the conversation.
She also said the person normally responsible for making post to their Facebook page is quote usually really good about it. And that she planned to issue an apology on Facebook.
She declined an interview on camera.
An apology is hollow and meaningless, said Mark Hammons.
Hammons is the chair of the local Democratic Party.
Its offensive, its racist, and its inaccurate, other than it does reflect the attitude toward people who are disadvantaged or not of the same party they are, Hammons said.
He says the post is distressing because it implies programs that help those in need are a way of buying votes.
Yet our Governor was using taxpayer money to have her daughter vacation on the Governors mansion in violation of the law. So its okay for the Governor to provide welfare to her daughter at state expense, but its not okay to provide assistance to children, the elderly or the needy, and we are going to turn that help into some kind of racist message, he said.
This new post also comes just two weeks after controversial Facebook post from the Oklahoma Republican party. Some claimed compared welfare recipients to animals. That group issued an apology the next day on its page.
As for Wednesday post, here is the statement the emailed to us from the president of the Oklahoma Federation of Republican Women.
The OK Federation of Republican Women regrets that an offensive post was made to our Facebook page today. I did not make the post or approve the post and when it was brought to my attention I immediately deleted it. I have since changed the settings on our page to approve all posts before they are published.
You can’t make any sort of dramatic statement today without being bludgeoned into a groveling apology, it seems.
Suppose we called it a kinder, gentler bigotry.
“You Just Can’t Handle The TRUTH!!” said Jack Nickelson.
No apology required or offered.
What's innacurate? Or haven't they re-written that chapter of US history yet?
RINOs running away from the truth.
Again.
Clearly, Trump has more work to do.
“The KKK was formed by the democrats to keep control over black Americans. The democrats of today just traded ropes for welfare.
What’s to apologize? These women need a transfusion of Trump 60-proof NO APOLOGY serum.
If you are going to make bold statements, make sure you have a spine first. If you are reduced to expressing your philosophy through the filter of political correctness, you are worthless.
Yeah.... It gets tiring hearing people apologize for things they say or post.
Has Trump said anything about Democrats and the KKK?
No apology required. The statement is factually accurate.
Sometimes, the truth hurts.
Why apologize for telling the truth?
Not that I’m aware of.
The fact the the MSM has not stroked-out completely suggests that he hasn’t.
He could be waiting for an opportune moment, though.
One lesson the Donald offers up loud and clear:
STOP APOLOGIZING AND GROVELING!
If you want to offend a liberal, tell the truth.
The truth hurts, huh, Dems?
Say HI to your Grand Wizard Senator Byrd!!
Why the apology?
Another great example of cuckservatism.
I don't know the history all that well, but the specifics of their facebook post could be criticized.
It is true that the KKK was formed by democrats, but I don't know if their primary focus was to 'keep control over black Americans' - or just to oppose everything that they didn't like during the Reconstruction. This included carpetbaggers, Yankees, Roman Catholics, Jews, and blacks. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what was the KKK's deal (I probably should page Nathan Bedford Forrest).
Also, rather than the 'democrats of today just trading ropes for welfare', I think a better analogy would be chains for welfare.
I think their facebook post would have been more factually accurate if they had noted that '150 years ago Democrats defended slavery, and today they have just traded chains of iron for the soft chains of welfare bondage'.
The Truth is never allowed in a Marxist PC culture—NEVER. Public schools are lying to children, filling their little heads with misinformation and a warped, collectivist worldview so the Truth creates Cognitive Dissonance.
It is on purpose that Truth/God/Christianity “offends” the Left. Operant Conditioning for generations-—since John Dewey, the socialist and Humanist, who destroy Classical Education and created the revisionist history so it is too upsetting to hear “truth”.
