The state of the Republican Party can be summed up by the glaring contrast between its convention and the conduct of professional athletes on Wednesday who refused to ignore the shooting of yet another Black man, Jacob Blake, coupled with the arrest of an alleged White shooter who killed two people during demonstrations in Kenosha, Wis.
President Trump did not reach out to Blake’s family nor denounce the killings during the protests, allegedly by a 17-year-old who attended a Trump rally and reveled in the Blue Lives Matter rhetoric Trump hypes. Trump denounces only protesters, then lies to say Democratic nominee Joe Biden wants to defund the police and destroy the suburbs (meaning allow integration). Republicans have repeated the false and scurrilous charge for three nights that Democrats indulge violence and are anti-police. They bring out to talk to the country a couple that allegedly threatened Black Lives Matter protesters with weapons. That is the Republicans’ idea of law and order.
