Mike Lee apparently thought that he had a banger
of a tweet ready to go, but unfortunately he
instead just exposed his terminal case of donkey
brains. He posted this, images of a black
Republican congressman. And the tweet says,
this is not the party of Jim Crow. Now he has
[00:00:15]
to say that because of course all the Republicans
are rushing to gerrymander out of existence
uh seats that are held by black elected officials.
And so he thinks that this is proof that obvious,
this is Jim Crow. I mean, we have these four
guys. There are four of us. And it's a very
[00:00:31]
good point after all. I mean, if they have four
black elected officials in a congressional
delegation of 217, then that's really impressive,
I said sarcastically. But it's actually even
worse than that. Because did you know that not
a single one of those men is still going to
[00:00:50]
be a Republican Congressperson next year? He's
rushing to acknowledge them before they all
leave. There is every reason to believe there's
not going to be one Republican Congress person
who is black after this election, but they're
definitely not the party of Jim Crow. Now
[00:01:07]
a couple of them are leaving to run for other
offices. Maybe they'll be successful in those.
One of them ah is leaving because redistricting
in Utah remade a seat as nominally democratic.
And again, they didn't have to do any of this
gerrymandering. So- Again, it's just it's so
[00:01:23]
ridiculous. There will still be one black member
of Congress, but not in the House of Representatives.
It'll be Tim Scott. Across the entire country,
the entire party, two chambers of Congress,
there will be one person who is black in the
Republican Party. But it's not the party of
[00:01:43]
Jim Crow, obviously. Anyway, I'm just gonna
end with, I just think that Alex Cole really
put it well. Ha ha ha, look everyone, we have
four black people. He can't even claim that
he has four black friends, because I don't think
he's friends with them. He just claims that
they exist, Sharon. This is so sad. Remember
when Tim Scott had a little bit of a conscience
[00:02:05]
and actually talked to Trump about doing things
like posting the Obamas as apes or something
like that. I mean, they're not real friends.
He emasculated him while Tim Scott was sitting
in the front row of multiple events. So listen.
Now Trump will just say, where's my black instead
[00:02:24]
of where the blacks because there's just a problem
will just be one left standing. But that kind
of tokenism and tweeting out something or putting
it up on true social when it matters to you.
But we're not gonna say that he hasn't been
around any black people, hell, whatever. He's
[00:02:40]
probably had that in his life, okay? He knows
about the Central Park Five that he for years
talked about wanting them to have the death.
penalty when they were wrongly accused. So
he knows something in his view about blacks,
just not anything positive. Yeah, 100%. Look,
[00:02:56]
and again, we can like, we can, I guess
own Mike Lee or whatever. The issue is that
they have been successful in packing the Supreme
Court with ideologically driven bigots who
have given the Republicans what at the end of
the day they've wanted for more than half a
[00:03:13]
century, which is the judicial mandate. to gerrymander
out of existence black and brown political
representation. And unfortunately, no matter
what video we put out on YouTube, there's nothing
right now that's going to stop that. Now, Supreme
Court reform potentially could, maybe some
[00:03:30]
legislation, I don't know. But that at the end
of the day has to be the solution. Not just
pointing out that Mike Lee has donkey brains,
everybody knows he has donkey brains, you can
look at his face, you know he has donkey brains.
It's making sure that different communities
across America, including marginalized ones,
are allowed to I don't have the freedom to
[00:03:47]
elect who they want. And Mike Lee doesn't want
that. The Republican Party doesn't want that.
And that is really sad for America.
