GOP once again demonstrates Black lives don't matter to them

[When Democrats Turn Out] Hi {NAME}, Mark and Patricia McCloskey gained national notoriety and scorn for pulling guns on Black LIves Matter protesters who marched outside their St. Louis home earlier this summer. But, the McCloskeys do have a big fan -- America’s racist in chief Donald Trump. He even invited them to speak at the Republican National Convention this week. This should not surprise anyone paying attention. Trump has denounced Black Lives Matter as an unpatriotic “Marxist group” intent on destroying the country -- reviving an old racist trope against the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s that equates the push for racial equality with communism. Trump also lashed out at the NBA and MLB players who have collectively decided to kneel during the National Anthem in support of the Black Lives Matter movement: “We have to stand up for our flag, we have to stand up for our country, we have to stand up for our anthem and a lot of people agree with me.” BLM and other activists are not protesting the flag. Rather, they are pushing for a racially inclusive nation. Donald Trump prefers the politics of racial division and white nationalism -- with devoted followers like the McCloskeys. Where do you stand?
