Harris: Trump throwing white supremacists a 'welcome home party' with Tulsa rally
The Hill ^ | June 11, 2020 | John Bowden

Posted on 06/12/2020 6:58:08 AM PDT by karpov

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) torched President Trump on Thursday over the president's plan to hold a campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., on Juneteenth.

In a tweet, Harris linked to a Los Angeles Times story that noted that Trump's June 19 rally would take place in a city that was the site of a racist riot and massacre in 1921.

"This isn't just a wink to white supremacists—he's throwing them a welcome home party," the senator tweeted.

The 1921 massacre in Tulsa is considered one of the worst instances of racial violence in U.S. history. Mobs of white residents attacked the city's black community, leaving more than two dozen African American residents dead and hundreds more injured. Several blocks of black-owned businesses known as "Black Wall Street" were completely destroyed.

Katrina Pierson, spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, told The Hill in an emailed statement that the campaign recognized the importance of Juneteenth, which marks the day in 1865 in which the Emancipation Proclamation was read to a group of enslaved black Americans in Texas, the final state where emancipation was announced.

There’s so much hypocrisy to point right back at the Left and usually the Lefty doing the talking. The GOP just refuses to fight. They need a good kick in ass for that.

As for Kamala.. Ask her WHY her party held KKK leader Sen Robert Byrd in such high esteem for decades. Is Bill Clinton going to apologize for speaking at Byrd’s funeral? Why is she being complicit in this racism by not demanding every library, highway and public restroom in the great State of WV have Byrd’s name removed from it?

Or talk about Kamala herself, or about millions who have died under socialism, or.. anything dammit just start fighting back.

The Democratic Party has to change its name because of its racist past.

1920s Oklahoma was dominated by the democratic party. The DNC is responsible for ALL THE EVIL — segregation, lynchings, KKK, mob violence, lawlessness etc.

They still are...

CNN: Mr. Vice President, are the people who attend Trump rallies are white supremacists?

Biden: Of Course not. The Supremes are black. I’ve met Diana Ross.

If anyone is interested, back then Tulsa, then an oil boom town, was rife with crime.
Not long before the race riot, a mob of white men had lynched a white boy for murder.

It really was that bad back then.

By the way, if ANYONE has a copy of the TULSA TRIBUNE at that time it is worth gold as Richard Lloyd Jones wrote an inflammatory editorial which has been cut from all known issues of the newspaper.

I believe he will make a “speech for the ages” regarding the problems we are facing in this Nation right now...

If it's anything like that, the MSM, including Fox, won't televise it. We'll have to watch on OANN or elsewhere to catch it.

If Tulsa should be forever damned because of a race riot in 1921, why not the Democratic party, which supported Jim Crow for several decades afterwards?

I was thinking close to the same thing. It took me about two seconds of thought. Don't Republican politicians think in these terms? There should be a loud chorus calling for all Democrats to stop holding political events because of Jim Crow, slavery, and the KKK. They should be able to explain they are using the same logic a Harris. Then personally attack Harris. Be prepared to dredge up something about her past. Do this for several weeks. Destroy the bitch. Send the message that if you F with Republicans we will destroy your reputation. Take the damn gloves off. President Trump has his hands full. He can't swat down each and every one of these idiotic attacks.

Please, Mr. President, give the demonicRAT roots of racism as part of your speech at the rally.

I just checked. Obama gave a speech in Dallas. No one brought up that Dallas “Killed” JFK! or that the gun used to shoot Reagan was bought in Dallas.

I still remember that day in 1981, ABC’s Frank Reynolds, upon hearing the pistol had been bought in Dallas, throwing his hands in the air and yelling ..”AGGH! DALLAS!”

Never forget what a hypocrit she is. Her ancestors in Jamaica owned over 200 black slaves.

She is the worst among them. As addled as Biden’s brain is, he at least recognized there were constitutional limitations to what can be done with regard to firearms and she chided him for it.

Make no mistake, allowing this woman in the White House is a fatal result.

You know what? Once again, stir up trouble by talking stuff nobody knows.

Even this casual history nut didn’t know anything about that.

Thanks for informing us! As if we ALL know about such stuff and thus, HAVE to be racists because Trump knew this would be a symbol to us evil right-wingers.

Another half-breed who picks black privilege. Obviously being black has more advantage than being (real) Indian.
