Rep Jasmine Crockett spoke to the events going on in Minneapolis and the overall overt racism and fascism of Trump and his ICEtapo goons as only she can:
This is pure racism. I don’t know why we want to tinker around with it and pretend as if it’s something other than what it is. I like to call a thing a thing. And he has told us time and time again who he was when he talked about certain people being from certain shithole countries. Those are his words. Only reason I’m cussing in this moment.
When he said things like, they are eating the cats and dogs. We knew exactly what we were getting. And some people are saying, I don’t know how we got here, but I do. Because we know that dehumanizing, I believe that you said something to the effect of cruelty and humiliation are the point. That’s what you said, Miss Patty. Because when we look at other places, say places that did things like, oh, you know, go door to door looking for people as they had to hide out, say, in an attic. Does that sound familiar to anybody?
Or the images that I have seen of people being attacked by law enforcement, whether we’re talking about dogs or fire hoses, it seems very reminiscent of something that we have seen before in this country.
