AOC Picks Fight With Ted Cruz on 'Racist History' of Democrat Party, He Finishes It – RedState "Understandably, many Republicans shook their heads when news broke Monday on the NAACP’s announcement of a “travel advisory” for Florida, especially upon learning that the wildly partisan advisory revolved around bogus allegations that the state’s GOP governor, Ron DeSantis, was “openly hostile” to the black community and allegedly doesn’t want black children to learn black history (a claim that is also untrue).
" Among those on the right rolling their eyes over the NAACP’s actions was Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who took to the Twitter machine to express his outrage over how far the organization has fallen over the years.
“This is bizarre. And utterly dishonest,” Cruz wrote. “In the 1950s & 1960s, the NAACP did extraordinary good helping lead the civil rights movement. Today, Dr. King would be ashamed of how profoundly they’ve lost their way.”
" That’s when some on the Very Online Left lost their minds, including AOC (whose tweet we’ll get to in a minute) and some so-called “historians” like Kevin Kruse, who posted that
“In 1965, Dr. King called for a national boycott of the state of Alabama, saying that Democratic Gov. George Wallace’s policies constituted ‘a reign of terror’ against Black Americans.” Cruz did not back down, pointing out that Wallace, a Democrat was “an incorrigible racist” and that “Dr. King’s standing up to his bigotry was heroic & helped change America.”
" “Florida today, by contrast, is an oasis of freedom, which is why vast numbers of African-Americans are moving there,” Cruz went on to note." . . .
I can help! Democrats doubled down by embracing the “soft bigotry of low expectations” angle, becoming a party bent on telling a myriad of groups that they’re weak and incapable without the party’s help in an attempt to keep them under their thumb. Y’all are heinous.
