Toyota Helps Transsexualize Kids

When you buy a Toyota, you get more than a car. You get to help transsexualize children through sponsorship of events like LGBTQ+ Youth:

The event, called “Models of Pride,” was hosted by the Los Angeles LGBT Center and was intended for those 24 years and younger.

How much younger?

No minimum age was listed on the website. … The event reportedly attracted roughly 400 attendees, including both kids and their parents.

They saw a performance by drag queen Dew Mi Moore. Dew Mi, get it?

Progressives have made it a priority to marinate impressionable children in the raunchy and depraved atmosphere of drag performances. If it is on the woke agenda, big corporations like Toyota will help push it.

Exposing kids to homosexual culture is not enough. The point is to recruit them:

Models of Pride also hosted breakout workshop sessions, including one titled “Drag Isn’t a Race” that focused on “learning the history of drag and taking the first steps of becoming a fabulous drag performer.”

A workshop titled “Where Do You Fit In?” explored the “LGBTQ+ community’s subcultures” in order to “find your chosen community.”

No one wishing to inflict LGBT indoctrination on children will have a problem finding funding:

Toyota donates over $100K to the Los Angeles LGBT Center on an annual basis, as does George Soros’s Open Society Foundation. Cedars Sinai also gives over $100K to the organization annually, as does Gilead, and several other companies in the pharmaceutical or healthcare industries.

The pharmaceutical and healthcare industries have a monetary interest. Psychosexual derangement leads to lucrative chemical castration treatments, sex change operations, and lifelong psychotherapy.

As for Soros, his motive is usually sheer evil.

What Toyota gets out of this is unclear, but it is not alone. Corporations that finance the corruption of children by showering money upon the Los Angeles LGBT Center include Wells Fargo, Union Bank, Citi Bank, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, First Republic Bank, US Bank, Boeing, American Airlines, Comcast NBC Universal, Hasbro, Nike, and Target.

Pro-Abortion Tactics Reveal What We Are Up Against

The advantage bad guys have is that they can do anything, no matter how unsavory, to advance their objectives, being unencumbered by morals, honor, or self-respect. Because abortion is a sacrament to liberals, it is essential to them that it be imposed federally on an autocratic basis, rather than being voted on at the state level per the Constitution. The impending repeal of the absurd Roe v. Wade decree has them reaching to the bottom of their bag of dirty tricks:

Constitutional law expert Jonathan Turley warned the leaking of a Supreme Court draft opinion was an “unspeakably unethical” act and the ensuing FBI investigation will ultimately destroy the longstanding culture of the court to not yield to politics. On “Fox & Friends” Tuesday, Turley explained that the leak is a “sign of the times,” with no sacred principles remaining.

It would be nice to think that at least the leaker will go to jail. But given that Michael Byrd was not even charged after executing Ashli Babbitt, don’t hold your breath waiting for justice for people who do Democrats’ bidding in DC.

The illicit leak has been followed by the most outlandish and irresponsible rhetoric imaginable. We have been told that acknowledging that there is nothing in the Constitution about abortion will lead to fascism, slavery, et cetera. Creepy Joe Biden croaks incoherently about the impending oppression of sexually deranged children.

Some of the most incendiary rhetoric comes from prominent Senator Elizabeth Warren:

Thanks to the avid support of the liberal media, the hundreds of declared riots inflicted by Black Lives Matter and Antifa during 2020 succeeded spectacularly, generating tens of $millions in revenue for BLM and temporarily pushing the Overton Window all the way left. In the aftermath, it was inevitable that the Roe v. Wade leak and Democrat demagoguery would incite more leftist violence:

An abortion rights protest in downtown Los Angeles escalated into a clash with law enforcement after officers were called to disperse the crowds, resulting in the injury of at least one officer on Tuesday night.

The intent is to intimidate the Supreme Court into choosing submission to the Democratic Party over fidelity to the Constitution. With leftists, the personal is political — and vice versa:

Left-wing activist groups are planning to send protesters to the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices following a leak indicating the court may soon overturn Roe v. Wade.

The activists are organizing under the moniker “Ruth Sent Us” and have published the supposed home addresses of Justices Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.

Their rhetoric is boilerplate Cultural Marxist liberalism:

“Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights,” the group’s website reads. “We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics.”

By “6-3 extremist,” they mean that only three are fellow left-wing extremists. That they regard ObamaCare’s savior John Roberts as radical right gives an idea of how far out these people are.

The group says they will visit the homes on May 11.

Fencing has already been erected around the Supreme Court building to protect it from Democrats’ army of street thugs. These days, that isn’t enough. Legislation has been introduced to protect the Justices and their families.

What kind of tactics would you expect of people for whom snuffing out innocent human life is a top priority?

Levi Strauss: Woke Clothes

Tragically, some of the most iconic American brands have been corrupted by moonbattery. Nike is a particularly odious example. Levi Strauss is another:

Levi’s signed a “We Stand For Democracy” advertisement that ran in the New York Times attacking popular election integrity measures, while [President and CEO Chip] Bergh called election integrity laws such as Georgia’s “racist” and “a step backwards.” Bergh also stated that Levi’s would work with legislatures to “make sure that these restrictive laws don’t go into place.”

In addition to working to facilitate election fraud on behalf of Democrats, Levi’s devotes vast amounts of money to attacking our right to bear arms. Also,

The San Francisco-based company was reportedly “nothing but supportive” of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s controversial national anthem protests.

Due to encouragement by the liberal establishment, Kaepernick’s disrespectful antics during the national anthem went nationwide during the Black Lives Matter riots, infecting other sports and reminding many that there are better uses for our time than watching overpaid tools play pointless games.

Despite Bergh’s sanctimonious virtue signaling, Levi’s exploits the low-wage labor of communist slave state China and vomits toxic chemicals in Mexico. Regarding the company’s solidarity with the working class,

During the heart of the pandemic, Levi’s paid millions in dividends to wealthy shareholders while furloughing thousands of its workers.

Former brand president Jennifer Sey turned down a $1 million severance package so that she would be free to tell the truth about the repressively cultlike ultraleft climate at Levi Strauss. Don’t let her sacrifice be in vain.

Corporate America is rotted through with moonbattery, so you can’t boycott everyone who deserves it. But Levi’s is more devoted to wokeness than most. Wearing anything with the Levi’s tag is like putting on a sandwich board reading, “I am a moonbat.”

May Levi’s share the fate of CNN+.

If You Still Watch NBA, Consider This

By now it comes as no surprise, but that doesn’t make it less horrifying and disgusting. The NBA has issued a statement officially siding with the scumbag criminals who were burning down Kenosha against the fundamental human right of self-defense:

Good thing they have the ChiComs to watch their pointless game, played largely by people who hate our country. It’s hard to see how any American could have a use for the NBA.

Subway Gets Blowback From Megan Rapinoe Ads

Corporations have gone all-in for ultraleft politics. This has entailed not only shoveling mountains of money at Marxist rioters and relentlessly pushing woke social engineering through commercials, but also choosing conspicuously vile anti-Americans as the faces of their products. Nike may get away with it with Colin Kaepernick. That doesn’t mean Subway will with Megan Rapinoe.

Not all franchisees are overjoyed to see Rapinoe in commercials for the chain, behaving with characteristic obnoxiousness by kicking a ball so that it knocks a burrito out of a Hispanic-looking guy’s hand while he’s trying to eat it.

From the New York Post:

Late last month on a discussion forum hosted by the North American Association of Subway Franchisees, a Wisconsin store operator posted a picture of a hand-scrawled note from an irate customer taped to the front door of his shop. …

“The ad should be pulled and done with,” the franchisee wrote of the Rapinoe spot. “It gets tiring apologizing.”

The note likely speaks for many former customers:

The consensus of the ruling class is that only moonbats matter. However, outside of the media propaganda bubble, moonbattery is widely regarded with the contempt and revulsion it deserves, especially in red states.

“Spending our money to make a political statement is completely and totally out of bounds,” an Arizona franchisee said on the NAASF blog about the corporate parent.

Franchisees own their stores, but have to kick in a percentage of revenue, which pays for advertising.

Another Midwest-based franchisee said Subway should have seen this coming before signing Rapinoe. In July 2019, she took heat for allegedly stomping on the American flag. Weeks earlier, she created headlines when she said she was not going to the “f**king White House” if invited to visit President Trump.

Apart from politics, there is Rapinoe’s personality, which is unappealing even by moonbat standards:

Nonetheless, woke corporate decisionmakers pay this horrid woman to alienate their customers:

Rapinoe this year has inked other endorsement deals besides Subway, including a tie-up with Victoria’s Secret in June.

It is doubtful that the far from pulchritudinous Rapinoe modeling skimpy underwear would appeal even to her fellow lesbians. As always in advertising, pushing moonbattery comes first, selling the product afterward. Nothing else could explain plunging from Adriana Lima to Megan Rapinoe.

Has CNN Hit Absolute Bottom?

Trump was a ratings bonanza for CNN, which devoted itself to hyping liberal establishment lies about him 24/7. Since Trump left office, CNN has lost nearly 70% of its viewers. In desperation, the network has turned to lurid self-debasement to draw viewers by parading the disgraced Jeffrey Toobin in a figurative dunce hat. However, this was less entertaining than an appearance by CNN’s Brian Stelter — on a different channel.

Last year, CNN analyst Toobin was fired for masturbating on camera during a Zoom call. Now he has his old job back, allowing CNN to draw attention to itself with the most cringe-inducing interview ever broadcast. Alisyn Camerota brought him before the public to explain himself:

Compelling television — but only at the level of a horrific car crash you can’t help but peek at through your fingers.

Far more fun to watch was CNN propagandist Brian Stelter’s appearance Thursday on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal:

“Mr. Stelter is the biggest minister of misinformation I have ever heard and I’m a news junkie,” a caller identified as Kevin from Indiana told the liberal CNN host. …

A separate caller identified as Gordon in Kansas asked Stelter to “admit he and his network are a bunch of liars about Donald Trump.”

After that came Rick from Georgia:

“I was just wondering if you still feel like Michael Avenatti is the greatest thing in the world and should run for president of the United States,” the caller asked. “My suggestion is, whatever CNN says, do the opposite and you’ll do fine.”

Avenatti was always conspicuous as a skeevy lowlife. CNN brought him on constantly as the lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels, who made allegations against Trump.

A 2018 Media Research Center study revealed that Avenatti appeared on CNN a whopping 74 times over a 10-week period. At the height of Avenatti’s fame, he spent his rare time away from CNN’s greenroom partying with the network’s anchors.

Stelter told Avenatti on air that he was taking him seriously as a contender for US President. Avenatti has since been found guilty of fraud and extortion.

Another caller said Stelter was “shameless,” while yet another called CNN a “joke.”

Fox News provides highlights of Stelter’s appearance:

That may have been Stelter’s last appearance on C-SPAN, but it wasn’t his first:

Has CNN finally hit absolute bottom? Or will it find a way to dig deeper still? Jeff Zucker hopes you tune in to find out. But there is no need to do that, because you can read about it here.

Pretext Found to Riot in Minneapolis

Knowing that civilization will barely lift a finger to defend itself, mostly peaceful protesters enjoy rioting so much that they couldn’t wait for a verdict in the Derek Chauvin case. Or maybe they have enough contempt for the country they are destroying to think Chauvin will be found guilty despite his apparent innocence, which would obviate their pretext for unrest. The convenient thing about race riots in a society poisoned by critical race theory is that you can always find another pretext. Just wait for someone with the correct pigmentation to die during a confrontation with law enforcement and voilà:

The Minneapolis area erupted in looting and riots late Sunday after an unidentified officer fatally shot [Daunte] Wright during a traffic stop just 10 miles from where Chauvin had [liberal deity George] Floyd pinned to the pavement last May.

The liberal establishment’s enthusiastic support for the race riots that followed Floyd’s probable fentanyl overdose guaranteed that explosions of indiscriminate urban violence will be a regular feature of American life for the foreseeable future.

About 500 people had gathered overnight outside of a police precinct in the city and clashed with officers.

Details of what actually happened to Wright are still unclear.

Brooklyn Center Police said that officers had stopped an individual shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday. After determining the driver had an outstanding warrant, police tried to arrest him. But the driver reentered the vehicle and drove away, police said. An officer fired at the vehicle, striking the driver. Police said the vehicle traveled several blocks before crashing into another vehicle.

Apparently, the officer meant to use a Taser, but in the heat of the moment accidentally fired a handgun instead.

If the media didn’t encourage Criminals of Color to resist arrest, Wright might still be alive.

Minnesota Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington detailed how demonstrators gathered shortly after the shooting and crash, with some jumping on top of police cars and confronting officers. Marchers also descended upon the Brooklyn Center Police Department building where rocks and other objects were thrown at officers, he said.

A thrown rock is a lethal weapon. If police were to defend themselves appropriately, this nonsense would end quickly. But that is not an option, because the media wouldn’t like it.

Harrington added that about 20 businesses had been broken into at the city’s Shingle Creek shopping center. …

The Brooklyn Center Walmart was targeted by looters who also completely destroyed a nearby Foot Locker, T Mobile and a New York men’s clothing store. Looting spilled over into north and south Minneapolis late Sunday into Monday morning as stores in Uptown and along Lake Street were also broken into and emptied.

This would qualify as social justice, on the grounds that it is shop-owners’ fault that Criminals of Color sometimes get themselves killed while resisting arrest.

Watch the deliberately engineered collapse of civilization into savagery unfold:

Liberals must be rubbing their hands in glee as they anticipate how they will exploit the violence they aid and abet to advance gun control:

A police headquarters in another neighboring city of Brooklyn Park was “shot up” around 8 p.m. Sunday, Fox 9 Minneapolis reported. Multiple rounds were fired through the building’s glass front doors with some shots reaching the lobby.

So long as the ruling class glorifies criminals and eggs on race riots, we will get more of them. Reward bad people the way Patrisse Cullors has been rewarded and ever worse behavior is guaranteed.

The situation will continue to deteriorate until one of two things happens: (1) America succumbs to liberalism and is destroyed; or (2) Americans reject liberalism and push back hard enough to reestablish sanity.

If Option #1 is chosen, this video of mostly peaceful protesters looting what appears to be a Nike store will serve as the USA’s epitaph:

This is particularly emblematic because Nike helped the Black Lives Matter cancer metastasize by making Colin Kaepernick — a bench-warming athlete who had reinvented himself as an anti-police, anti-American, black supremacist activist — into the public face of the corporation.

Andrew Cuomo Criminalizes Confederate Flag

New York’s authoritarian Governor Andrew Cuomo is said to be on Biden’s handlers’ shortlist for attorney general. To get an idea of what this would mean for the cause of keeping American liberty alive, consider that Cuomo just signed a bill into law that makes the Confederate flag illegal.

The Rebel Flag symbolizes the South. That’s why it was featured on the cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd albums and on the car driven by the Dukes of Hazard.

Liberals associate Southern culture with resistance to their agenda; therefore, the Confederate flag is now regarded as a “hate symbol.” It’s a Culture War issue.

From the New York Post:

The new law — effective immediately — prohibits the sale of hate symbols on public grounds including state and local fairs, and also severely limits their display unless deemed relevant to serving an educational or historical purpose.

Cuomo explicitly named the Confederate flag as his first example of a hate symbol, denouncing it as “abhorrent.”

A hate symbol is in effect any symbol that leftists hate. Old Glory herself might become a hate symbol, or at the very least the Betsy Ross version.

A more brazen violation of the spirit of the First Amendment would be difficult to imagine.

Cuomo said the rule likely needs “certain technical changes” so the Empire State doesn’t get caught treading upon free speech protections codified in the Constitution’s First Amendment.

Actually, what it needs is to be thrown out — or rather, any politician who would support such a law needs to be thrown out.

Change the Whirled: The Ultimate Moonbat Product

Waging war against America, white people, and the concept of law and order has never been easier. All you have to do is pack on a little extra weight by indulging in a carton of Ben & Jerry’s “Change the Whirled” vegan nondairy pseudo–ice cream:

The belligerently leftist Ben & Jerry’s has been bought out by a monolithic globalist corporation based in Europe that shares its political stance, Unilever.

If one moonbat personifies hatred of the USA, it is the washed-up athlete who went on to become a zillionaire anti-American activist, Colin Kaepernick. Why do major corporations pay $millions to be identified with a character who is intensely hated by a significant percentage of the population? Power Line lays some of the blame on the practice of pandering to communist China:

Unilever United States has sales of $3.83 billion. On the other hand, Unilever’s sales in China are exploding, expected to grow by 400% in the current decade, to RMB50bn, which translates to $7.9 billion.

Unilever, like so many companies–Nike and the NBA are obvious examples, but there are a great many others–doesn’t mind sponsoring anti-Americanism when their real money lies in China. Especially since the Chinese Communists, unlike us Americans, actually pay attention to the political stances of the companies that do business there.

If patriotic Americans categorically refused to buy anything from corporations with an aggressively leftist public stance, this nauseating nonsense would stop. But in the age of Black Lives Matter, it is getting hard to find anyone else to buy from.

Woke Minneapolis Sees 537% Rise in Carjackings

Minneapolis — site of the drug-induced martyrdom of career criminal George Floyd, ignition site of the hundreds of antipolice Black Lives Matter riots encouraged by the liberal establishment, and birthplace of the defund the police movement, where the openly pro-riot City Council promised to dismantle the police department — is in the news once again, this time for a remarkable rise in carjackings:

Over the past two months, Minneapolis police have logged more than 125 carjackings in the city…

Within a one-hour period Saturday morning, police reported three separate carjackings in southeast Minneapolis, including one where an elderly woman was struck on the head. Such attacks are up 537% this month when compared with last November.

Woke Minneapolis has more to offer than carjackings:

The spree comes amid a nearly unprecedented spike in violent crime, particularly shootings, since the May 25 killing [sic] of George Floyd in police custody and the civil unrest that followed.

In November, the toll of people shot this year surpassed 500 in Minneapolis, the most in 15 years. Seventy-nine homicides is the highest count since the mid-1990s, an era when the city earned the grim moniker “Murderapolis.”

At least the leftists running Murderapolis have learned their lesson and will stop undermining the police in the name of their grotesque ideology, right? Wrong:

Several members of the council introduced a plan Friday that would institute additional cuts to the Minneapolis Police Department and make the city’s reduction in law enforcement permanent. The plan would cut about $8 million from the police budget and shrink the MPD force by 15%.

Being liberal means never having to say you’re sorry, because no matter how bad your moonbattery blows up in everyone’s face, it is somebody else’s fault. No doubt systemic racism or economic inequality is to blame for the transition of Minneapolis into New Mogadishu.

Colin Kaepernick Calls for Release of Cop-Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal

To get a clear idea where the Black Lives Matter movement is coming from, look to Colin Kaepernick, a washed-up athlete who started the fad of kneeling disrespectfully during the national anthem because America is “racist.”

This appalling practice spread throughout sports at the peak of Black Lives Matter rioting. Rather than stand for their country, absurdly overpaid athletes chose to kneel to Marxist race rioters.

Kaepernick personifies the BLM mentality. He surprises no one when he denounces America. He surprised no one on Monday when he championed former Black Panther and convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal:

Kaepernick called upon the Philadelphia district attorney’s office to release Abu-Jamal, claiming that he was framed after falling prey to police brutality.

No serious person believes that Abu-Jamal is innocent. Five witnesses saw him assassinate Officer Daniel Faulkner. The trial was an open-and-shut case that he turned into a circus, winning the hearts of leftists.

Abu-Jamal murdered Faulkner in 1981. He was sentenced to death. That he is still alive is itself a crime.

Kaepernick doesn’t speak only for himself:

Kaepernick emphasized that the Black Lives Matter movement demands that Abu-Jamal be released from prison so that his legacy matters.

This legacy is on display every time a police officer is ambushed.

Savagery and murder. That’s what the athletes genuflect before. That’s what the Democrat Party obsequiously embraces. That’s what Nike glorifies by choosing Kaepernick to represent it.

CAREN Act: Racial Caste System Applied to 911 Calls

Give Democrats power and they will codify our racial caste system into law. San Francisco proves it by passing an act that exposes you to legal jeopardy if you call 911 on a Miscreant of Color:

San Francisco supervisors unanimously voted on Tuesday to pass the Caution Against Racially and Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) Act that makes racially-motivated phone calls to 911 illegal.

Who determines your motivation for making a 911 call? The moonbats in charge, of course.

It’s a good thing they can read our minds. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to punish us for our thoughts when we commit hate crimes.

The name is a clear nod to the online moniker “Karen” often used to describe the behavior of a middle-aged white woman acting entitled or demanding.

That is, the very name of the act is a racial slur against those at the bottom of the caste system, Caucasians.

The act would accommodate a civil cause of action for the victim of discrimination to recover damages of at least $1,000 in damages plus attorney fees.

Citizens will think twice about calling 911 on Trayvon Martin types casing their neighborhood for burglary if a call to the cops will cost them this much cash.

NFL Gives Apparent Hate Hoax Second Life

Hate hoaxes are so common because they are an effective means of acquiring sympathetic attention — sometimes even after they have been exposed.

Readers will recall that Althea Bernstein claimed to have been set on fire by racist white frat boys during a black supremacist riot in Madison last June. Unsurprisingly, authorities found it impossible to corroborate her story, though they certainly tried.

For being oppressed, Althea got to be queen for 15 minutes. Meghan Markle and her adjutant Prince Harry called her on the telephone. Good Morning America featured her for adoration.

The party couldn’t last forever. Via Breitbart:

By October 2, the Madison Police Department released a statement, saying, “after an exhaustive probe, detectives were unable to corroborate or locate evidence consistent with what was reported.”

The case was also investigated by the FBI and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Both agencies agreed with the local police. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin ultimately said that “after reviewing all available evidence, authorities could not establish that the attack, as alleged by the complainant, had occurred.”

After that, press access to Althea was cut off, presumably to guard against the remote possibility that anyone from the mainstream media would follow up after her story had collapsed. Her 15 minutes were over.

Or maybe not:

[A]lmost two weeks after Bernstein’s case was dismissed by every agency that investigated her claims, the NFL was pushing the young woman as an example of “inspiring change.”

Why not? If Nike could pass off Colin Kaepernick as an athlete who sacrificed his career for leftist politics (he was a fading benchwarmer before he started with the kneeling theatrics), the NFL can present Althea Bernstein as an inspirational victim of racism. Beggars can’t be choosers when it comes to finding support for the Black Lives Matter narrative.

Leftist Media Tries to Make Madison Cawthorn a Nazi

Leftists must be terrified of North Carolina congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn. They have beclowned themselves in a desperate attempt to portray the 25-year-old as a Nazi sympathizer for posting a picture of himself visiting the Eagle’s Nest, which is a popular tourist destination. The Instagram caption refers to Hitler as “a supreme evil,” yet we are asked to regard this as evidence that Cawthorn is a Nazi sympathizer:

HuffPost takes the handoff from Jezebel, only to fumble:

“The vacation house of the Führer,” Cawthorn wrote in a caption for the post, addressing Hitler using the reverential term Nazis associated with their leader.

Make note of the new rule. If you refer to anyone by their title, you are being “reverential.”

Actually, Hitler’s official title was “Führer und Reichskanzler.” HuffPost should have spun this as Cawthorn revealing an unsavory degree of familiarity by calling him “Führer” for short.

Cawthorn told HuffPost that the Allied victory “was the history I had in mind” when visiting the Eagle’s Nest. “It was a surreal experience to be remembering their joy in a place where the Nazi regime had plotted unspeakable acts of evil,” he said.

According to Jezebel, however, the candidate has named his real estate company SPQR ― a term popular among white nationalist groups ― and has allegedly displayed Betsy Ross’ version of the American flag, which the Anti-Defamation League says has been appropriated by far-right militias “among other Revolutionary War-era symbols.”

SPQR stands for Senātus Populusque Rōmānus (Roman Senate and People), in reference to the Roman Republic that preceded the Roman Empire. Among sarcastic Italians, it can also stand for “Sono Pazzi Questi Romani” (These Romans are crazy). The Betsy Ross flag stands for American patriotism, which is why Colin Kaepernick doesn’t like it. When leftists started going after our history and heritage, they were never likely to stop with tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee.

The ADL confirms that SPQR and the Betsy Ross flag are not hate symbols. Via Breitbart:

Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow for the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, said the Betsy Ross flag, the SPQR abbreviation and Spartan helmet are not included in the league’s database of hate symbols. Pitcavage said while there are examples of their use by white supremacists … they are used “just as much or more often by nonextremists than extremists.”

Cawthorn responded to the attack by pointing out the obvious:

The Blaze has some background on Cawthorn:

Cawthorn stunned the political world in June when he won the Republican nomination for the election for North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District in a landslide victory. The motivational speaker trounced the GOP candidate who was backed by President Donald Trump, but he also ran in support of the president and his policies.

If he wins in the heavily Republican district, he would become the youngest member of Congress.

Cawthorn was paralyzed from the waist down in a 2014 car accident that nearly took his life.

A guy who might have been euthanized by the Nazis probably isn’t a big fan of them.

Looks like Cawthorn is making the most of the second chance he was given. Good luck to him in fending off future attacks from left-wing propagandists.
