When I found out that the so-called leader of the House Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries voted yes on a resolution to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk, it disturbed me.
Hakeem voted to honor a man who spent his whole life being a hateful racist, tearing down Blacks and marginalized people.
So, our Democratic leadership decides to bow down and co-sign a measure that gives a day of recognition to a dedicated racist?
If there ever was a time to show your backbone, this was it. This wasn't about empathy or sympathy. The honoree didn't believe in it. It was about showing your mettle as a leader.
The Republicans really don't need to oppose the Democrats. We're gonna do it for them. For me, this was a very weak thing to do. The "Turning the Cheek" days are long gone. Republicans don't give a damn about your kindness, only weakness.
At this point, the Republicans are asserting their will on the Democrats and we're allowing it.
One thing for sure is that the Democrats need leadership who aren't afraid and refuse to avert their eyes from their racist opposition.
That's just my opinion.
