In a candidate forum with the South Carolina Senate race contenders, Senator Lindsey Graham has said he did not believe there was systemic racism in his state, insisting young black people would be safe, “as long as they’re conservative.”
After being asked about what legislation he proposed to end police brutality, he said he believed in law enforcement reform and that while the people behind the killing of George Floyd “was wrong and people should pay the price,” he went on to say that “what is happening in America… is a war on the police itself.”
“Do I believe that our cops are systemically racist? No. Do I believe that South Carolina is a racist state? No.,” he said. “To young people of color, to young immigrants, this is a great state.
“I am asking every African-American out there, look at my record,” he said, referring to how he supported historically black colleges and universities. “I care about everybody, if you are a young African-American, an immigrant, you can go anywhere in this state, you just need to be conservative not liberal.”
Graham did not explain how a police officer might know that a black person was a conservative instead of a liberal and whether it was okay to harass or shoot them or not.
Perhaps he is suggesting a series of badges or pins that the good conservative black people might wear to protect them from institutional racism or violence.
Of course, Lindsey Graham and his fellow racism deniers already have something like that, it is called white skin.
Where does one begin……..
“as long as they’re conservative.”
===============
Are they suppose to wear a sign “I am a conservative” ? Or can everyone tell you are a conservative because you LIE?
You wear a red MAGA hat and a Trump 2020 t-shirt at all times.. Even in bed.
Compassion. We’re all on the same planet.
So they want people to start wearing badges to differentiate them?
What does that sound like?
Yeah sounds a lot like Nuremburg laws and “badges of shame.”

So the only immigrants and black people that are safe are token conservatives that the GOP can use?
Red MAGA hats.
Maybe Lyndsey can say that in the original German next time.
What about liberal white people?
It looks like the party that claims to love “freedom” wants to control the thoughts inside your head.
Seems to me that your head has enough problems of it own without intervention.
What if you’re not a sinner on a corrupted planet? Are you open to that idea?
Who in the hell is Miss Lindsey to tell other people anything, he should move to russia after he loses in Nov.
Sorry. Russia doesn’t take in his “kind”.
Gotta suck to be him right now.
Gotta suck HARD to be him right now.

Harris is doing what is right, while Republicans are trying to jam a nominee on to the Supreme Court before they potentially lose everything.
MAGA hats on sale in the lobby.
