The floor of the Bank of Oklahoma Center in Tulsa was awash in red, white, and blue. Eager supporters of President Donald Trump were holding signs, wearing “Make America Great Again” hats, and sporting T-shirts with expressions ranging from “Guns, God, and Trump” to “Make Liberals Cry Again.”
who are now calling pence a traitor. they are calling him a traitor for because he was protecting the constitution. he was upholding the constitution, which these republicans say are so dear to them. it s a fundamental right that they claim republican ownership of. so, when pence actually upheld the constitution, what did they do? they called him a traitor. they called him a traitor. right? they are supposed to be patriots, right? the constitution. it s all about the constitution. april, so there s there s a new-political article, adapted from michael bender s new book. the piece is called i made juneteenth very famous: the inside story of trump s post-george-floyd month. that line comes from what trump told him saying no one heard of juneteenth before his tulsa rally. it sparks a firestorm because it was originally scheduled on juneteenth. this shows how oblivious that he is to racial issues in america, if he thinks that no one knew about juneteenth and he made it famous. ye
