Well considering many of them also believed Obama was an illegitimate president for 8 years or the Clintons are murderous sex trafficking Chinese agents due to the right wing conspiracies fed to them by Conservative media….yeah. The last 13 years going back to 2008 has been plagued with conspiracy theories and partisan politics by both sides. Legitimate concerns and investigations undermined by partisan politics.

There it is again! The ORIGINAL birther story came out when BO was running for Illinois senator in 2004. See the politico article...

The birther movement was started because hillary's primary numbers were falling after BO announced for the democrat ticket. The Penn Strategy Memo which suggested a con for supporting BO was his "lack of American roots" published in The Atlantic. [1]

Even Reggie Love came out against hillary's use of "Muslim" during the primaries in his book, "Power Forward: My Presidential Education." [2]

"The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama." [3] - Politico 04/22/2011

The left birthed the issue and it's only natural that the opposition party picked it up.

Now, answer the question, major... If that pastor was Trump's, how would your political allies in the media have reacted?

Cpl (Join to see) Did you watch the video or just read the bs caption. The things he said in the short clip was no different than what MLK Jr. had ever said. Now perhaps there was more in his speech that wasn’t shown that was controversial but nothing he said was unAmerican. Now I don’t have political allies nor side with any one media source. So let me ask you this. After watching all the racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, Q’Anon rhetoric from pastors that actually supported Trump, would you join Right Wing media in defending that rhetoric?
Yeah. Thought so.

Gaslighting? It's a three minute video. I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't watch and listen to it. He's a self-professed [1] liberation theologist; i.e., marxist [2]. He's attempting to persuade his audience that socialism/marxism has been wrongfully vilified, then disparages all of America as the "land of the greed and home of the slave" comparing his parishioners as the victims and the dispossessed. All of America wasn't slavers, and a bulk of people immigrated to the US AFTER the emancipation. His supposition even excludes the slavers in the US who were black [3].

Thank you. This nation is being stolen exactly as the article shows. Now I can quantify my argument against believing the liberal lie.

"He nails why conservatives feel the way they do about the 2020 election which has its roots in the Russian collusion hoax and the liberal media’s nauseating behavior over the past four years. It also highlighted something rather disturbing which is that a nation cannot function if half of it feels like its governing institutions work to exclude them from the process. For conservative families that are patriotic, give their kids copies of the Constitution, and encourage them to enlist to serve in our armed forces, you can see why there’s such an intense reaction to when liberals trash the country, burn the flag, and don’t stand for the national anthem. Also, this account notes how intelligence agencies using fake evidence to spy on a presidential campaign would be received horribly by normal patriots."

Nailed it!

I hate the call to UNITY from the left when the left will not even try for unity - in any shape, form or function.
