No I’m not in the business of “calling out” anyone for anything they say, unless of course it involves promoting the initiation of violence. ---

> [@WillFarnaby](#): > > No I’m not in the business of “calling out” anyone for anything they say, unless of course it involves promoting the initiation of violence. So… You DO care about the president saying racist shit (but don’t like capitalization of “president”), however you don’t feel it’s your business to call anyone out for saying racist shit. That got it now? I’m having a bit of difficulty with the tap-dancing. ---

This does nothing except help unify the Democratic party. A few days ago there was a minor social media tiff between AOC’s “squad” and the Congressional leadership. Now EVERYONE in the party is lining up alongside them against Trump’s hatefulness. ---

Now EVERYONE in the party is lining up alongside them against Trump’s hatefulness. Yes, right now. On Twitter. But what happens when the next debate happens and white moderates are told that they’re no longer in a position to understand the grievances of people of color? Don’t get me wrong: what Trump said was sick and disgusting, but I also saw a number of Twitter activists attacking Pelosi and suggesting that she was “dog whistling.” I mean, FFS, there was nothing at all racist about anything that Pelosi has said at all. I think Trump’s timing isn’t coincidental, nor is his attempt to suck up to Pelosi at the expense of the Squad. He’s trying to further incite divisions, but those divisions are already there, and I’m sorry, I blame people like Kamala Harris and the Squad for fake claims of racism - not against Republicans but against other white Democrats who are anything but racist. ---
