Justin Blake speaking on behalf of the family of the 29-year-old Black man who was shot seven times by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, said Monday that Jacob Blake’s father has “no interest” in speaking with President Donald Trump — adding that the family’s main goals were Blake’s health and obtaining justice.
Well played. When Trump tries to seize the narrative, you seize it.
Excellent. Don’t give him the opportunity. I will never forget the vile image of donnie giving a thumbs up in the photo op with the infant who lost its parents in the El Paso shooting.
ETA… reminder of his inappropriate glee:
You wait.
I still think there’s going to be some kind of visit, stealth or outright, with the Rittenhouse family. After all, the family lives only about an hour south of Kenosha - quick trip right down I-94.
That’s the photo op he wants - with the REAL Patriot family in the midst of this. [/s]
Along with the speakers and everything else going on for the Blake family’s community celebration today, there will be voter registration going on. What party do you suppose the folks who attend this might be?
Trump will go visit the Kenosha Killer Kid instead…
tRump is not going to Wisconsin to offer sympathy to this family. This is just a cover for a police involved Klan Rally with his supporters. The man is batshit crazy and it’s getting more and more difficult to hide it. He is going to radicalize the Kenosha police and offer support to a murderer. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t try and sneak in a visit with Kyle Rittenhouse. Not because he thinks he’s innocent-he could care less, but because he can use him. The thing is these people are so tribal that they don’t even know when they are being used. The tRump cult, including the police, need to remember what happened to the followers of Jim Jones after they drunk the purple koolaid. The tRump mind and body killing drink of choice is Orange aide.
“President Trump is a racist who stokes racial tensions,” Blake’s uncle told CNN. “He has been stirring racial tensions since he got in the White House. Why, as Jacob’s uncle, would I want to talk to him?
Thank you for speaking truth, don’t give them an inch, The Turnip and minions are not worth it
Correct, pasty white frightened fits right into all the narrative they are trying to generate.
It is very sad to see, at least the last accounting I saw, that this MURDERER has gotten a quarter mill in support, while those he MURDERED together have not gotten 100K for medical bills, etc.
WH Spokesperson: Vile Kittenmouse is “very good people”. He deserves a visit from Current Occupant. The granting of an Encouragement Award is anticipated.
I’m surprised Fat Nixon didn’t invite them to join him on the golf course.
As caddies…
Donnie doesn’t have the common sense to not go where he is uninvited, indeed has been told to stay away. He is an arrogant, incendiary, tacky asshole.
Well he aligned himself with grifters, felons, and the like. Now he aligns himself with murderers, I mean openly, he has been with them all along. In the mean time the GOP has been right by his side.
It does not bode well for the USA.
Let me inject a quick moment of truth here: Trump has no interest in meeting Blake’s Family. It does not bother him at all that a Black man was shot. It is fine with him if a cop murders a Black man. He wants to foist himself on Kenosha for a victory lap.
“This Is Not A Photo-Op”
Good answer…not feeding the Orange Troll!
On the one hand, Trump foments violence against POC but wants to have a photo op to give excuses to his white supremacists base to vote for him… this is the height of trumpian hypocrisy!
You interact with him after something traumatic like this and you’ll regret it. This was a good decision. I hope they get relatively few death threats because of it but unfortunately that’s kind of standard.
It is, to Trump.
You know what they call someone who shows up at your doorstep after you’ve repeatedly asked them to stay away? Stalker, nutcase, wackjob, intruder.
Can they get a restraining order?
Can Kenosha get a restraining order?
Maybe the Blakes should stand their ground.
Nice. ESPECIALLY after saying this is like a missed putt. The problem here is that it is ALWAYS a ‘tragic accident’ when it happens to a black person but a white person can always expect handcuffs. And then the defending of the RW vigilantes…well…STAY OUT OF WISCONSIN Trump!
Jacob Blake’s family is correct.
Never meet with Trump without backup.
Trump will dodge any meeting that he cannot twist or lie about what was said.
His cowardly ways continue and no Falwell to forgive his sins.
