Standing in a packed amphitheater in front of Mount Rushmore for an Independence Day celebration, President Trump delivered a dark and divisive speech on Friday that cast his struggling effort to win a second term as a battle against a “new far-left fascism” seeking to wipe out the nation’s values and history.
With the coronavirus pandemic raging and his campaign faltering in the polls, his appearance amounted to a fiery reboot of his re-election effort, using the holiday and an official presidential address to mount a full-on culture war against a straw-man version of the left that he portrayed as inciting mayhem and moving the country toward totalitarianism.
“Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children,” Mr. Trump said, addressing a packed crowd of sign-waving supporters, few of whom wore masks. “Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.”

Easy A for them. C for you?
In the minds of envious mentally leftists, desires of exception and immortality set in lasting stone value is divisive, but self hatred and deriding any desire of exception and immortality is uniting.
Genius is evil, mediocre pinochio talent consumerist barbarianism of TV clown loser material is cool.
I am in a Facebook argument with someone saying the original Israelites were black and those in Israel now are converts that stole their heritage... I countered with why is skin color more important than the beliefs?
Haven’t heard back
New title. “Trump gives a history lesson and refuses to surrender to communist cancel culture”
Surprshe didn’t say, “Without Evidence.”
Now THAT would have been funny!
‘Dark and divisive’ speech?
—
The Leftist used that exact same phrase to describe Pres. Trump’s Inaugural speech.
Hardly divisive....
Straw man? Is that like straw arson, rioting and looting? Or how about straw insurrection.
‘there would be a price to be paid in our nation for allowing this type of blatant, hateful propaganda to flow unrestricted in our colleges and universities. This wasn’t “harmless”, and it certainly wasn’t “education.” ‘
I have been saying this for years; but, nowhere near as eloquently. The universities have been indoctrinating our children in hatred for decades. They have kindled the very spirit of the Father of Lies.
“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.” Matt 10:21-22
The Old Decomposing Lady is slipping...they couldn’t even manage to work the word “racist” into that headline.
Did a tipsy W chime in and say “that’s some weird shit” again as he did during Trump’s inauguration speech?
Awww.,.. Annies ****y hurts.
Right on cue! Bet they didn’t even listen.
Many were calling for President Trump to stand up for this country.
The AP reported that Trump preached “racial division” at Mt. Rushmore. It looks as if the memo went out to all leftwing media to push the “racial division” narrative. Very original.../s
Yes, and?
(Looking for a link to the full text of the speech)
Hate has to be taught
Any time Trump holds a rally and speaks to his base the media is going to call it ‘divisive’. What do they expect him to be doing? It’s an election year. He’s going to campaign.
From the NYT “1619” POV.
I watched his excellent speech and I don’t see how they could get “racial division” out of it. But then I realized that it is now considered racially divisive to speak against racial division.
Somehow urging BLM style segregation is not considered racially divisive, but urging unity is. Huh?
