True. Liberals tend to first formulate a "truth" to fit their narrative, and then cherry-pick erroneous examples to prove it.

Tom Brady did not attend the White House reception following the Super Bowl win because his mother was ill. He made a statement about why he wasn’t going.

"I am so happy and excited that our team is being honored at the White House today. Our team has accomplished something very special that we are all proud of and will be for years to come. Thank you to the President for hosting this honorary celebration and for supporting our team for as long as I can remember. In light of some recent developments, I am unable to attend today’s ceremony, as I am attending to some personal family matters. Hopefully, if we accomplish the goal of winning a championship in the future years, we will [be] back on the South Lawn again soon. Have a great day!”

Contrast that with Curry’s statement:

"I don't wanna go. That's the nucleus of my belief. It's not just me going to the White House. If it was, this would be a pretty short conversation. But it's the organization, it's the team. It's hard to say, because I don't know exactly what we're gonna do. If we do go, if we don't, whatever. My beliefs stay the same. So I'll have a better answer to that once I can understand where the group is too.”

Miss Texas gave her opinion about the Charlottesville incident:
"I think that the white supremacist issue, it was very obvious that it was a terrorist attack," she said. "And I think that President Donald Trump should've made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and in making sure all Americans feel safe in this country. That is the No. 1 issue right now.”

Miss Texas DID NOT call Trump a white supremacist like Jemele Hill:
Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.
Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.
No the media doesn't make it a threat. It IS a threat. He has empowered white supremacists (see: Charlottesville).
He is unqualified and unfit to be president. He is not a leader. And if he were not white, he never would have been elected


I could go on and on and on........
You know, OP, you can be angry at President Trump’s comments and not agree with them, but to try to make this connection is just plain cheap.
You have conveniently left out actual WHITE people he has criticized like Meryl Streep, Glenn Beck, and Rosie O’Donnell,

Nice try attempting to make this connection (much like the left wing media is doing), but it doesn’t fly.

Now THIS is a powerful post, and spot on. Thank you, PP.

And that was a terrible disgusting disrespectful thing to say - and yet McCain is White, anglo saxon, Protestant and male.

Though also an opponent of the white supremacist faction in the GOP, so there's that.

Well, he probably picked on McCain because Colin Powel hadn't been a POW.

I get it -- black people are Americans, in the sense that we need them to pick cotton (er -- I mean -- play football and fill our for-profit prisons), but they're not Americans in the sense that they should actually have equal rights to express themselves freely, or be supported by their government, or have their lives protected.

Black people have the right not to be killed by other black people which is apparently a right the kneelers don't care about.

Former NFL Player Donté Stallworth: Don't Let Trump Hijack the Conversation on Racism and Violence

"You get a guy like Chris Long from the Philadelphia Eagles. He has donated or he is donating his first six game checks -- his first six out of 16 total game checks, he is donating to his hometown in Charlottesville, where, obviously, they had the white supremacists and the Nazis marching openly and freely. He is donating money to, as he called it, promote equality through education. Donald Trump and his administration has worked to defund groups that counter white supremacists, extremists. The DHS and the FBI came out with a joint intelligence briefing back in May, and they warned heavily about the -- they warned heavily about the dangers of these white supremacists using violence. And you see that the players have worked much more than the president has on these reform issues. You go to Doug Baldwin of the Seattle Seahawks, who met with the Seattle police chief and met with police officers from the police department. He also spoke and had a meeting with the Washington state's attorney general. Malcolm -- excuse me, Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin have been to the Capitol to speak to members of Congress. I was able to -- they invited me out on one trip where, three straight days, we spoke to members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to move the needle forward about these issues, in criminal justice reform and beyond. The players have taken the initiative where the president has been absent and where he has been in opposition towards these reforms.

So the players themselves now have even seen, now so more than ever, that the president is in complete and total opposition to allowing players, number one, their First Amendment rights. That's the first thing. And I think the other thing, too, that we have to be conscious of is to not allow Mr. Trump to hijack this conversation, to hijack the narrative. You know, obviously, it's going to be in the media. We're going to talk about it for a day or so. But after that, let's make sure that we're keeping our eye on the prize."

Good news! You don't have to depend on other people to protest for you! You can start your own protest.

Sounds like athletes actually DO get involved in community service and social causes off the field, which is more than most of the assholes criticizing the exercise of their First Amendment rights can say.

Steph Curry refuses to go to the White House and Trump rescinds the invitation to the whole team and chastises Curry via Twitter.

Miss Texas criticizes Trump's response to Charlottesville, Trump says nothing.

Jamele Hill criticizes Trump and gets blasted, including having the White House Press Secretary suggest that such criticism merits Jamele Hill being fired.

Three CEOs resign from Trump's American Manufacturing Council following Trump's tepid response to Charlottesville:

Intel's Brian Krzanich

Under Armour's Kevin Plank and

Merck's Kenneth Frazier

Trump says nothing about Kraznich and Plank, but Tweets "Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!"

Then, of course, there's these guys whose protest, which included the vehicular homicide of an innocent counter protester, included some "very good people,"

and then there's these guys who, according to the President, are "sons of bitches" who should be fired.

I know there must be a pattern here....

Thank you, OP. Insightful post.

You don't have to like him but facts matter.

Please link the President's tweets that insulted any other CEOs both personally and professionally besides Merck's Kenneth Frazier.

True. Liberals tend to first formulate a "truth" to fit their narrative, and then cherry-pick erroneous examples to prove it.

and yet no one can find the tweets referenced above. Who's formulating truth?

Is EVERYTHING about identity politics with some of you?

All of this is coming from one place: Donald J. Trump.

We know you don’t like him. We know you are still mourning over your loss. We know you are all about #resist.
Your ludicrous connections are just that - ludicrous.

You complain the most when you are wrong.

OP's post shows, it doesn't tell. It's clear Trump hates people of color and attacks them whenever he can. It started back when he and his rich daddy tried to ban black folk from his apartments in Queens. It hasn't changed. Trump hasn't changed.

He does not like black people. Neither do a lot of Americans, so they LOVE Trump for saying what's on their minds!!

It's shameful. It makes me ashamed of my fellow Americans that they can support a person who represents such vile beliefs.

They voted for him. Clearly there are so many, many more racists in this country than I'd previously thought.

Sad.
