Black GOP candidate to white Dem incumbent: 'Your virtue signaling insults me'
wnd.com ^ | 6/30/2020 | Art Moore

When a white Democratic congressman declared in an email to supporters that racism "is deeply ingrained" in America's institutions and "everyday lives," he might not have expected a thorough rebuttal from his black Republican opponent in this fall's election.

The Democrat, Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, also posted a "resource guide" on his website for "racial justice allyship" to "understand our nation's" black experience and combat "systemic racism" in America.

But Kendall Qualls, the Republican nominee running against Phillips, took issue with Phillips' "attempt to convey the Black experience and redefine America in the process."

In a guest piece for the Powerline blog, Qualls said, "I'm going to tell you what it's really like to be a Black man in America."

He began by telling readers his opponent's "virtue signaling insults me, and it should insult you too."

Biff! Pow! Bang! Take that demosocialist! The massive corporate capitulation to the extortion has been disgusting. YUGE decline in testicular fortitude or, as I like to call it, 'lack o' sack'. Someone is making big bux on this. Anyone audit shawn 'talcum X' king yet? Oh, 'consultant fees' are probably his income.

I’m surprised that even the proggy dim blacks aren’t telling the white trash BLM Marxist punks to go to hell.

Don’t know the guy’s policy positions, but what he said in that article I can respect. Hope the voters in that district are paying attention.

A black Republican is running for Congress in the metro suburbs. What does he think of Trump?

It's a good read.

Partner, Great Post.

I think that you have touched on something that we know we have a bunch folks that have been elected as Congressmen & Congreewomen that are just plain Communists/Socialists.

AOC and a lot of other Congress critters are a bunch Communists/Socialists.

We have not heard from any Democrat against the rioting, looting, destroying property, burning buildings to the ground, tearing down historic and revered statues, and defacing statues. Unbelievable stuff.

Thanks to Kendall, Trump has got a Mach One Speed issue to soar to victory.

Phony virtue signalling.

Beautiful family and love his story. Hope he wins. He understands how Dem Party has destroyed the two parent family, the set up of housing and generational welfare, etc.

Wait, are the Republicans so racist that we have at least two blacks running for Congress? Have to check to see who else is running. I’d love to see George Logan (a state representative from Ansonia) run in CT-5.

Much like Tim Scott, just a “token” smoke screen.

“that America needs to have “the tough conversations.””

(that’s in the article)

I am sick and tired of hearing that “tough conversations” are needed.

One of these days I’m going to have that tough conversation right here on freerepublic. I will converse with Mr. Blackman.

It will begin with “what bugs you about your situation, Mr. Blackman”?

Mr. Qualls must be a racist and a white supremacist. He questioned the narrative, so his experience obviously isn’t valid.

The natural & correct response would have been:
"Your watermelon signaling insults me!"

Thanks to Kendall, Trump has got a Mach One Speed issue to soar to victory.

Partner, we have a really potentially great congressman from the Great State of Minnesota.

I think he is going to win because of the anarchists/Communists behavior the last 3 to 4 weeks, of course we can say the Bolsheviks instead of communists.

This conservative Black man will beat the Bernie Sanders Bolshevik wing of the DemonRat party and it will be so great to see.

The DemonRats have really pissed off the American folks this time around since all of these Anarchists/Bolsheviks are still want to riot, loot, kill, destroy property, burn buildings to the ground, destroy our historic statues, etc.

The Polls are in President Trump's favor and the DemonRats have thrown everything at our POTUS and he is standing strong.

BTW, we saw the motorcade parade in Milwaukee, Wisconsin a few days ago and it looked like everybody got on the parade motorcade route and they had their little flags in the side walks and clapping their hands at our POTUS. The DemonRat party does even know what is coming at them right now.
