Just another chapter from the playbook.

"When in doubt, call it racist".

n Sunday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, appeared on CNN and declared that the protests against stay-at-home orders that plagued her state capital, as well as numerous others, "depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country," pointing to the regular appearance of swastikas, nooses, Nazi slogans and the American swastika, also known as the Confederate battle flag. (We can safely assume that the usual excuse of "Southern pride" used to defend the Rebel flag doesn't apply in Michigan or Ohio or Illinois, states where thousands of young men fought and died for the Union.)

Conservatives cried foul at Whitmer's words, of course, but there's little point in denying it. We all have eyes and ears, and no one is mistaking the protesters for people who would flinch if they heard a friend casually use the n-word in conversation.

Now, WTF, pull the racism card.  I want to see a tag team mud wrestling match between Whitmer, and that Commie Oprah against Kristi Noem and our own Rush.  I guarantee a win for our side.

(yes I am now mildly obsessed with Kristi Noem.)

They are lying. I’ve seen several articles that make shit up such as “the reopen protesters are all white and don’t care about black people”.  Or “the reopen protesters are radical right wing fanatics.”  I hate the way this whole thing is being polarized along political factions. It’s disgusting. Some on the right are to blame but it’s way more the left and their usual hypocrisy, lies, and TDS.
