Did Barr just show a white power sign?

[malaise]

Damn

[leftieNanner]

1. OMG!

Seriously? That's not a hand gesture that anyone would make casually.

Barr is (as my sister used to say) "One Sick Ticket".

[LaMouffette]

2. Yes! Yes, he did!

I was just about to start a new discussion to ask if anyone else had seen it.

And he did it while responding to a question about excluding undocumented immigrants from the US Census.

Brazen as hell.

[malaise]

3. yes indeed

unbelievable - there will be video shortly

[Solomon]

4. Please. I want to see it.

[malaise]

6. You can bet there will be video very soon

Damn!

[soothsayer]

5. Oh man I missed it

[Mossfern]

7. Go into the kitchen for one minute...

[Farmgirl1961]

8. yes, video clip or photo please!

It needs to be blasted all over the internet!

[Takebacktherepublic]

9. I missed it. Tagged for later

[soothsayer]

10. Well this is a backwards one isn't it?

11. thanks!

12. He's a horrible human being

and undoubtedly is a racist, but that's thin evidence. The WP sign is usually upside down, that's not it.

[soothsayer]

13. It has to make a W and a P, so right side up

16. sorry just think it's a stretch

it was made as part of a gesture while speaking.

[JHB]

26. Is he in the habit of making that gesture when speaking?

That would be the clear indicator, but I haven't seen video of him speaking at length.

If it's something he's done for years, no, or at least a pleasant (for him) coincidence.

If not...

[soothsayer]

14. He made a PW

Or a Q W

He effed it up

[malaise]

15. Thanks

[Cha]

19. AKA a Stupid Racist FUCKHEAD.

[lame54]

17. You mean the White Prick sign?...

Time for re-branding

[Cha]

20. Agree!

[2naSalit]

23. Or...

Wittle penis?

[Solomon]

18. I need to see the video instead of a pic.

[soothsayer]

22. Yeah I didn't see it

[Kid Berwyn]

21. Exposed.

Too bad. So sad. BFEE toady.

[Takebacktherepublic]

24. It's been over 2 hours

and not a single pic or video? Maybe my google fu is weak but I couldn't find anything on this at all

[WhiskeyGrinder]

27. Maybe you should have checked post #10 from 4:12 PM n/t

[Takebacktherepublic]

29. I keep getting a "something went wrong error on twitter on all my devices

Maybe my tech skills are weak too

[malaise]

30. Can't be your tech skills

Mine are pretty bad

31. Dammit, I refuse to give them that mudra!

For too long we've let the forces of evil co-opt our words and symbols (e.g., the Nazis and whirling logs, the right and the word "liberal" ). Well, I, for one, refuse to give up and let them have the gyan mudra.

I have used it in the past, and I'll use it in the future.

And I'm proud to call myself a liberal. Not a progressive; I'm a liberal!

(I still can't bring myself to use the whirling logs, though. It's going to take at least a few generations before that symbol can be reclaimed.)
