Have Democrats sold their souls for our votes?

Beto exploits tragedy for sake of politics  "The bodies in El Paso were barely cold when Beto O’Rourke started blaming President Trump." . . .
"CNN’s Jake Tapper cut to the chase: “Do you think President Trump is a white nationalist?” 
“Yes, I do,” said Beto." . . .

It seems that journalists and other Democrats care about only deaths that fit their agenda  . . . "The terms "white privilege" and people of color" are dog whistles used to gin up racial hate.
"There is nothing racist about a president who wants to enforce immigration laws that Congress passed.
There is also nothing racist about a president saying how deplorable, dirty and crime-ridden cities run by Democrats are.
"There is certainly nothing racist about a president who wants to give everyone the opportunity to move up the economic ladder.  It is racist to continually seek to keep more people dependent on government, especially minorities."

Why ‘policing is racist’ is such a poisonous lie  "The Democratic candidates have revived the anti-police rhetoric of the Obama years. Joe Biden’s criminal-justice plan promises that black parents will no longer have to fear when their children walk the streets — the threat allegedly coming from cops, not gangbangers. Pete Buttigieg has said police shootings of black men won’t be solved “until we move policing out from the shadow of systemic racism.” [Bobby Francis] O’Rourke claims that police shoot blacks “solely based on the color of their skin.”

"A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demolishes the Democratic narrative regarding race and police shootings. It turns out that white officers are no more likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot black civilians. It is a racial group’s rate of violent crime that determines police shootings, not the race of the officer. The more frequently officers encounter violent suspects from any given racial group, the greater the chance that members of that racial group will be shot by a police officer.


"In fact, if there is a bias in police shootings after crime rates are taken into account, it is against white civilians, the study found." . . .

The “policing is racist” discourse is poisonous. It exacerbates anti-cop tensions in minority communities and makes cops less willing to engage in the proactive policing that can save lives. Last month, viral videos of pedestrians in Harlem, The Bronx and Brooklyn pouring water on passive NYPD officers showed that anti-police hostility in the inner city remains at dangerous levels.
A staunch liberal Democrat wavers in reaction to the recent rhetoric of her party
. . . "My friend told me I had been right when I said the Republican Party was the party formed to end racism.  She commented that she had just learned that her Massachusetts ancestors, who were abolitionists, were Republicans." . . .
. . .  "My friend concluded that she just didn't know about the Democratic Party anymore and that she might just have to become an independent." . . .
