Pete Hegseth out here doing Olympic-level gymnastics to bring back Confederate general names on U.S. military bases.
"This is about restoring history and Army morale!" bro says, while twisting himself into knots to pretend it's not about Robert E. Lee & Co. who literally took up arms against America for slavery.
Hegseth defending renaming military bases after Confederate traitors: āWeāre not erasing history!ā Yeah, youāre just doing backflips to rebrand Robert E. Lee as āsome other guy with the same name.ā
Fort Liberty to Fort Bragg 2.0: Now with extra copium for morale.
Treason cosplay in the Pentagon.
Embarrassing.
When the DOJ (under President Nixon) sued him in 1973, saying he violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to lease to black tenantsā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he had his black employees removed from his casino floors while he was present in the 80sā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he took out a full page ad in the NYT/NYDN/NYP/NYND newspapers in 1989, to call for the death penalty against the 4 black & 1 latino kids known as the āCentral Park Fiveā (who were exonerated)ā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he was quoted in John OāDonnellās 1991 book saying āBlack guys counting my money! I hate it⦠I think that the [black] guy is lazy. And itās probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. Itās not anything they can controlāā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he had to pay a $200K fine in 1992 for kicking black dealers off tables at the Trump Plaza & Hotel Casino to accommodate high rollersā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he confirmed, in 1997, āthe stuff OāDonnell wrote about me is probably trueāā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he publicly pitched (2005) that his show āThe Apprenticeā should do a season of blacks vs whitesā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he started to slander and libel President Obamaās U.S. citizenship status in 2011, repeatedly, because his middle name is āHusseināā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When David Duke (infamous leader of the KKK) endorsed him for President in 2015, and he failed to decry the infamously vile white supremacistās supportā you said āheās not racistāā¦
When he has repeatedly harassed, disparaged, and publicly admonished the likes of the Obamaās & their children, Kamala Harris, the late John Lewis, and many other black political leadersā you said āheās not racistāā¦
āāāā
He has 5+ decades of being racist PUBLICLY and you still refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump is and always has been a racist.
Him posting an Ai generated video depicting Michelle & Barack Obama as apes (a repugnant racial trope, that is as old as this country itself, used to disparage black Americans) on HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, is yet another example of why he is the embodiment of āwhen someone shows you who they are, believe themā
This isnāt debatable. He is despicable. He has zero class as a human being. And youāre just as disgusting as him if you try to gaslight us into believing his abhorrent post was anything other than what he meant it to be: a racist depiction of a former POTUS/First Lady.
Four white men have more wealth than half the planet⦠& you still think a brown immigrant is why youāre struggling? šš Explain that to me like Iām five.
