George Romney was an amazing man. I went through his archives at U of Michigan and saw the vile and racist letters white constituents sent him calling in him to violently suppress protests. His responses were to tell white voters *they* contributed to the riots. https://t.co/lIeFVTlZsx

80% of US voters believe things are out of control in the country, with majorities concerned about the coronavirus, the economy and President Trump’s ability to unite the nation, according to latest NBC News/WSJ poll. https://t.co/mXnK5UB88p

Trump literally inherited a booming economy from President Barack Obama and ran it into the ground with more than 40 million Americans losing their jobs. It’s like how he inherited his dad’s fortune and then bankrupted a bunch of Atlantic City casinos like a clown.

The man Donald Trump called "my African American" at a 2016 rally is leaving the Republican Party and no longer supports Trump. He says he is sickened by Trump's "pro-white" agenda, his "white superiority complex" and using black people "political pawns." https://t.co/ctXVK0Um7u

The media told us to cheer at the toppling of statues of Lenin in 1989, of Saddam in 2003. There was no talk of an ‘act of vandalism’ by Britain’s Home Secretary then.
