The Southern Democrats of her youth were the party of segregation. She does not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

ICE isn't deporting legal immigrants. In any case, Sears was a US Marine, her citizenship is 100% secure.

They have been throwing legal residents and citizens into jail with zero due process.

I have yet to hear a Republican complain about that. So much for the Constitution.

So you are saying that if a Republican held up a blatantly racist sign targeting a black woman the Democrats would have no comment?

It's racist, but...

Double standards. Same reason why Kimmel, Billy Crystal, and Trudeau have gotten a pass for doing blackface.

Racist af and the people making excuses for it need to listen to themselves.

SpanbergerForVA posted this on Twitter five minutes ago, took a little while to write this but she said all the right things that the people defending the sign should read.

As I said yesterday, the sign displayed in Arlington last night was racist and abhorrent.

Many Virginians remember the segregated water fountains (and buses and schools and neighborhoods) of Virginia’s recent history. And no matter the intended purpose or tone and no matter how much one might find someone else’s beliefs objectionable, to threaten a return of Jim Crow and segregation to a Black woman is unacceptable. Full stop.

I'm sure she has a story of how she opposed segregation, but there she was, proudly holding up her sign. I'm also sure there will be defenders saying it was racist but it was satire to prove a point. It was racist, right there for all to see.

Wow.

On another note, why are modern day protesters with signs always 70+ YO white women with short hair?

They aren’t, that’s a narrative that the administration desperately wants people to believe, though.

Except that it's proven true over and over again. Just check out any of the "protests" in NW DC, usually on weeknight evenings. It's all white women 65+ who are on their way home from Giant.

Paid Winsome troll.

No. But the woman with the sign works for the City of Alexandria and as a paid protester for various causes. It will be interesting to find out if she was paid to attend the event yesterday and who paid her.

It's meant to point out the absurdity of transphobia.

Neither the protester nor anyone else thinks we would ever go back to segregated water fountains.

Or maybe MAGA would...they seem weirdly afraid of immigrants.

Because maybe Rs aren’t actually all/mostly racist and sexist as Ds like to assume? Ever think of that?

Then why do you keep voting for racist rapists?

Yes. We know it is real. The head of the Arlington Democrats is having a word iwth the woman about her sign.
Only because it makes the Dems look bad.
