Eric Swalwellās campaign setting new world records in cringe
from the article:
Swalwell posted some tweets over the holiday weekend flexing his sensitivity muscles for the
social justice grievance crowd. One of the them said that āBeing a good president doesn't mean you speak the loudest or tweet the most. Being a good president means knowing when to listen.ā Included in the tweet was a photo of Swalwell sitting amidst five black people in Chicago.
Coincidentally, prominent black activist Alicia Garza
wrote Tuesdayin the New York Times that no, this is precisely what they donāt need. āDuring election season, I always cringe when I see candidates eating fried chicken next to a bottle of hot sauce in Harlem or taking staged photos with black leaders,ā wrote Garza. āThese shallow symbolic gestures are not a substitute for meaningful engagement with black voters. And candidates should know that we see right through them.ā
In a separate tweet on Sunday,
Swalwell wrote that he āmay be āanother white guy,ā but I know where there are gaps in my knowledge or my experience and I know when to pass the mic.ā Attached was a video clip from a new interview with Vice, wherein he promised again that as the Democratic nominee, he would pick a woman to serve as his running mate. āWhere there would be gaps in my knowledge or my experience,ā said Swalwell, āI will pass the mic to people who do have that experience.ā
Does he know heās running to lead the country and not to lead an AA meeting? I donāt recall President Barack Obama choosing to āpass the micā to RuPaul when a bunch of gays were shot up at an Orlando night club.
This is a naked, debasing, humiliating pander by Swalwell to the social justice mob that now lords over the Democratic Party. But heās unaware that to āpass the micā isnāt about taking turns. Itās about giving up his turn altogether. The very question he was responding to in the Vice interview was, "Why should another white guy be president?" In other words,
Don't you think it's time you step aside for someone else, Mr. Swalwell?
