I thought he was even in leadership (House GOP Conference Chairman?) back in the day.

At least he knows what the current Congresscritters think, or so he says.

> I don’t mind his saying that current elected officials should more strongly condemn white supremacist movements <

Yes, but who is to decide when a condemnation is strong enough? To those on the left, unless your condemnation is at Antifa levels, you are a racist.

And now it looks like J.C. Watts has bought into that.

Everyone can throw his opinion out there. You can say, "Not strong enough!" and I can say, "Actually, I think it was fine ...," and then we all have to go pick the kids up at school or go to Walmart or something.

I wonder if J.C. has a job these days.

Oh for heaven’s sake, there are not enough real klansmen in the USA to even get your bowels in an uproar over.

So true. My loser brother-in-law was in the Klan in the 70s. He’s not anymore, though, and also, he’s housing my mother-in-law, so we don’t have to.

We’re living in bizarro world.

>>>in the wake of President Trump’s failure to clearly and unequivocally condemn white supremacists for the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last week<<<

Funny how a Liberal Meme becomes fact so fast and so easily.

It pays to own the Media, that’s for sure. Too bad Conservatives and Republicans didn’t figure that one out.

Now the Republic is doomed because of their shortsightedness.

BTW, when did a Hood become a Cap? DSince Trump Supporters like us started wearing MAGA Hats, that’s when.

Sharpton & Waters are spokes people for the Marxists, not Globalist. JC Watts would be speaking for the Globalist.

Amazing. It’s just amazing. And tragic. And it couldn’t have happened without the help of the GOPe. I guess they really did prefer Hillary to Trump.

He’s always been a fraud. He voted for Obama because he was black.

Plus, Trump DID call out the racists.

Different end goals, but with very similar tactics and propaganda.

I used to think he was one of the best.

What happened?

Or is it more fake news?
