Trump just announced a “crime and safety” rally for next Tuesday in Howell, Michigan, a town that has been heavily associated with the KKK for decades. Indeed, just late last month White Supremacists marched in the town chanting “We love Hitler. We love Trump.” Some but not all of the reputation comes from the fact that a long time Grand Drago of the Michigan Klan lived there and his farm was a sort of home base for the Klan.
This is the kind of move that will be lost on many reporters and especially most out-of-state reporters. But it won’t be lost for a moment on Blacks and Jews from Michigan. It’s a bullhorn not a dog whistle.
We will work hard to defeat him. We are better than this.
I just want to personally thank @JDVance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I didn’t think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful. 🙏
As a proud conservative, I’ve always put America’s Democracy and our Constitution above all else.
And today, as a proud conservative, I am endorsing @JoeBiden for reelection!
Historic. Timely. Brave. I welcomed @POTUS in Kyiv as Russian full-scale aggression approaches its one-year mark. I am thankful to the U.S. for standing with Ukraine and for our strong partnership. We are determined to work together to ensure Ukraine’s victory.
What happened to @GOP under Trump isn’t complicated or novel. A gangster family took over an organization and turned it into a criminal enterprise. But instead of this being a waste disposal company in NJ, it’s one of two major American parties.
