If President Donald Trump and the MAGA-fied GOP are nothing else, they are a bottomless open bar of white tears, hypocrisy, caucasity and Karen energy. For all of their tough talk about revolution, “civil war,” the weakness of “the left,” and big, bad MAGA alfa-males, all they need to hear is anything remotely aggressive coming out of a Black person’s mouth for them to go into full snowflake mode and start crying about “violent rhetoric.”
Recently, white conservatives have lost their damn mind over relatively benign remarks made by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), which they have intentionally misconstrued as a threat to “fight” Trump and his MAGA goons “in the street.”
First, let’s start with what Jeffries actually said.
“Right now, we’re going to keep focus on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaires, donors, and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill,” Hakeem Jeffries said during a press conference, alongside Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke, where he criticized Trump’s handling of the recent air collision in Washington D.C., including his short-lived freeze on federal funding and his absurd and factless suggestion that DEI practices had anything to do with the tragedy. “That’s not acceptable. We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”
Now, the Trump administration’s whiney-ass response:
“While President Trump remains focused on uniting our country and delivering the mandate set by the American people, the House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, incites violence calling for people to fight ‘in the streets’ against President Trump’s agenda,” White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai told Fox News Digital. “This unhinged violent rhetoric is dangerous. Leader Jeffries should immediately apologize.”
Waters was speaking to protesters in Minnesota while attending a demonstration on behalf of Daunte Wright when she said she and the crowd are “looking for a guilty verdict” for Derek Chauvin, who was still on trial for the murder of George Floyd.
“We’ve got to stay in the streets, and we’ve got to demand justice,” she said.
“I am hopeful that we will get a verdict that says, ‘guilty, guilty, guilty,’ and if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, one of Trump’s most passionate defenders during his second impeachment, joined other prominent Republicans in accusing Waters of “actively encouraging riots & violence,” as if it weren’t perfectly clear that she was talking about non-violent resistance.
So, just to recap: Trump and his ilk baselessly suggest DEI caused the air collision, Hakeem Jeffries calls them out on it, Trump and his ilk disingenuously claim the angry Black man is encouraging violence — defaulting to their tried and true fearmongering against outspoken Black people — and now the White House is demanding an apology.
Again — the real snowflakes are at it again and their caucasity continues to know no bounds.
