If President Donald Trump and the MAGA-fied GOP are nothing else, they are a bottomless open bar of white tears, hypocrisy, caucasity and Karen energy. For all of their tough talk about revolution, “civil war,” the weakness of “the left,” and big, bad MAGA alfa-males, all they need to hear is anything remotely aggressive coming out of a Black person’s mouth for them to go into full snowflake mode and start crying about “violent rhetoric.”
Recently, white conservatives have lost their damn mind over relatively benign remarks made by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), which they have intentionally misconstrued as a threat to “fight” Trump and his MAGA goons “in the street.”
First, let’s start with what Jeffries actually said.
“Right now, we’re going to keep focus on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaires, donors, and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill,” Hakeem Jeffries said during a press conference, alongside Congressional Black Caucus Chair Yvette Clarke, where he criticized Trump’s handling of the recent air collision in Washington, D.C., including his short-lived freeze on federal funding and his absurd and factless suggestion that DEI practices had anything to do with the tragedy. “That’s not acceptable. We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”
Now, the Trump administration’s whiney-ass response:
“While President Trump remains focused on uniting our country and delivering the mandate set by the American people, the House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, incites violence calling for people to fight ‘in the streets’ against President Trump’s agenda,” White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai told Fox News Digital. “This unhinged violent rhetoric is dangerous. Leader Jeffries should immediately apologize.”
“Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?” the White House asked in a press release.
Right-wingers up and down social media predictably followed suit in abandoning any semblance of logic, intentionally ignoring the “fight it legislatively” and “fight it in the courts” part of Jeffrey’s speech and deciding he was making some gangsta-ass pro-riot statement just because he used the words “in the street.”
Again, the caucasity here is just overflowing.
Let’s just set aside the fact that, in 2021, Trump told Jan. 6 rioters to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell” just moments before they went to the Capitol and attacked police officers, broke through barricades, scaled walks, broke into offices and threatened legislators — all inspired by Trump’s baseless election fraud propaganda. Forget about all of that.
Violent rhetoric has become a GOP love language since the party collectively bowed down to Trump, normalizing his childish tantrums, boorish behavior, bigoted remarks and propaganda that has proven to be dangerous. Speaking of which…
In 2021, just a few months after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Republicans who had just gotten done protecting their MAGA cultist from being impeached for inspiring the riot, which they vehemently denied they did, tried the same white, fragile and Karen-esque nonsense with Rep. Maxine Waters that they’re trying with Jeffries now.
Waters was speaking to protesters in Minnesota while attending a demonstration on behalf of Daunte Wright when she said she and the crowd are “looking for a guilty verdict” for Derek Chauvin, who was still on trial for the murder of George Floyd.
“We’ve got to stay in the streets, and we’ve got to demand justice,” she said.
“I am hopeful that we will get a verdict that says, ‘guilty, guilty, guilty,’ and if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, one of Trump’s most passionate defenders during his second impeachment, joined other prominent Republicans in accusing Waters of “actively encouraging riots & violence,” as if it weren’t perfectly clear that she was talking about non-violent resistance.
So, just to recap: Trump and his ilk baselessly suggest DEI caused the air collision, Hakeem Jeffries calls them out on it, Trump and his ilk disingenuously claim the angry Black man is encouraging violence — defaulting to their tried and true fearmongering against outspoken Black people — and now the White House is demanding an apology.
Again — the real snowflakes are at it again and their caucasity continues to know no bounds.
