Vance: Reaction to false Michelle Obama insult at White House UFC fight was 'totally disproportionate'

Source: msn.com



Story by Alejandra Jaramillo, • 3h


...........................

“He’s a very good fighter, first of all, but sometimes it’s not enough to get attention,” Rogan said. “What Josh has done is created this persona, like this pro wrestling bad-guy persona.”

“Again, not the best thing to say at the White House. ‘Michelle Obama is a man’ is not the best thing to say,” he added.

“Fair,” Vance replied. “But the reaction to it to me was still totally disproportionate.” He later continued that “people lost their minds about it.”

... is beyond immoral, beyond Un-American, and beyond the bounds of sanity.

But rest assured. This is the last gasp for you, Trump, the Heritage foundation, your greedy, racist corporate sponsors, and your entire reactionary band of lunatics. Yes, you are the culmination of the 45 year reactionary project. You are wreaking destruction upon the remnants of the functional liberal democracy that emerged as we actually made progress on the road to a more perfect union. But you WILL NOT PREVAIL.

From the fall of Jim Crowe in the 50's, to the aspirations of a political party that no longer exists, but whose aspirations were expressed in the 1956 Republican platform.

On its Centennial, the Republican Party again calls to the minds of all Americans the great truth first spoken by Abraham Lincoln: "The legitimate object of Government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves in their separate and individual capacities. But in all that people can individually do as well for themselves, Government ought not to interfere."
...
We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because of race, creed or color, may know the blessings of our free land.


And on to meaningful progress on civil rights for African Americans in the 60's, and then meaningful progress for women's rights in the 1970's.

Followed by backlash in the form of the forty-five year project by the radical right fascist corporatists to turn back all that progress and transfer more than 50 trillion from the many to the few, while making it nearly impossible for ordinary people, disabled people, or people born in poverty to access the American dream, however hard they worked.

Trump didn't co-opt the Republican Party. The Republican Party has been advancing its racist, immoral, soulless project to destroy the powerhouse of progress that a functional liberal democracy represents for more than 40 years. And Trump is merely the culmination.

And you all have gone too far.

And that is your undoing.

This decade will not mark the victory of fascist corporatism.

OUR backlash will be SOOOO much more powerful over the next few decades than the backlash of the soulless, immoral, racists ever has been.

The phrase "false Michelle Obama insult" doesn't tell us what happened, which was that an almost naked man screamed that the elegant former first lady was a man, and the vulgarity and mendacity level on the White House grounds went off the charts.

It's one of the only consistent things about him.

He is a deeply racist person. I think that he literally hates Black people.

He's frustrated by being held to the same standards he holds others to. I hope he calms down... his emotional hysterics are unprofessional.

Nope.

VP Douchenozzle is teaching the youth that principles are useless, integrity is fiction and power is all that matters.

Nothing - your honor, your self-esteem, your wife, your family - NOTHING is more important than power and attaining and retaining it at all costs.

He is disgusting embodiment of the worst elements of this currently fucked up nation. If he is ever allowed to ascend to the presidency things that are already dire with become catastrophically worse instantly.
