A former Republican congressman [J.C. Watts] says current members who have chosen to stay silent in the wake of President Trumps failure to clearly and unequivocally condemn white supremacists for the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last week are silently endorsing a racist view.

This is getting more and more disturbing. I wouldn't have thought about asking this a month ago, but now I wonder...are we fast approaching some sort of tipping point? Is a soft coup in the works?
I haven’t heard of J.C. in forever. Not the sharpest point on which to reappear out of nowhere ...
If you stop to throw rocks at every barking dog, you will never reach your destination.
The cat is former Oklahoma QB
Must be the CTE talkin’
I had to check: he was our Congresscritter when we lived in Norman, OK, 1996 to 1999.
J.C. Watts is a Communist and an Anarchist if he doesn’t explicitly condemn their violence. And so are all his friends and colleagues. (according to his logic.)
> failure to clearly and unequivocally condemn
We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides on many sides
Watts is an idiot.
Hey JC...what about ALL the racist Blacks and BLM people??? You going to jump on the band wagon, if there ever is one, and condemn them....I didn’t think so.
Nazi and Communists both suck.
100,000,000 dead from Communism and neither the media nor Obama nor the DNC will denounce Communism or Socialism. Marx said that the end goal of Socialism is Communism.
And Barry was friends with a Communist named Billy Ayers who was a domestic terrorist who bombed the Pentagon and in an article that ran in the 9-11-2001 NY Times said that he couldn’t say that he wouldn’t think of using such tactics in the future.
The hypocrisy is maddening.
But to clarify, Nazis are horrible people and their politics are rotten. How many candidates have they run in the past 10 years? I can point out various stripes of Communist, Socialist-Workers, International Green, etc candidates. CPUSA endorse Barack Obama for president. Talk about damning praise.
More division marxist politics. The democrats are the KKK party. Shove it down their throats.
It all boils down to tribe association.
Iirc, he had some “Don’t you know who I am!?!” episodes back in the day. This suggests some ego.
I admired him for leaving Congress on a voluntary term limit, but I haven’t kept up with him since. Honestly, I don’t mind his saying that current elected officials should more strongly condemn white supremacist movements, but saying “They wear the cap!” if they’re not loud enough against is just garbage.
Also, I forgot how cute he was.
This whole notion of people can get in trouble for NOT saying anything is so tiresome.
He was a darling amongst many of us white men during the years of the Bush The Latter reign. BLMmers must have gotten to him. Maybe he’s hooked on opiates and one of the Antifapods is blackmailing him. Maybe Capper Nick is dating his daughter. Maybe people confuse him with James Watt.
“Hey JC...what about ALL the racist Blacks and BLM people??? You going to jump on the band wagon, if there ever is one, and condemn them....I didnt think so.”
What happened JC? You used to be be cool. What the hell else does the guy have to do??
He sounds bought & paid for.
When people stop listening to Al Sharpton, and Mad Maxine Waters is too goofy, a Globalist has to start shopping around for a new reliable mouthpiece.
I hadn’t seen that graphic before. Thanks for sharing it.
This is absolutely ridiculous. The democrats had an ‘ex’ Klan leader as one of their longest in office senators. Where was the outrage with that? No one in their right mind in this day and age supports anything about ‘the Klan’. No one. What does Watts want the President, or anyone else to say? ‘They wear the cap’ is hate speech. It’s accusatory, prejudicial, and without any basis. It’s totally disgusting. The left have no morals. None. Unfortunately and tragically, I have little doubt that a significant number on the left would have no problem with the extermination of those of us who don’t agree with them. They are truly sick.
It is the same totalitarian Marxist viewpoint shared by BLM and Antifa, albeit run for and by white people.
For Republicans to elbow each other and run to the nearest microphone and denounce these groups (which they have done profusely) is to admit that there's a link between being a Constitutional conservative and a white supremacist.
Watts, like Tim Scott - when the s--t hits the fan, black Republicans and conservatives will always self-identify with being black first. It's just sad.
