She had POWERFUL words that left me staring at the TV for a long time after she finished.
"Democracy is the greatest threat to white supremacy" she said.

1. Wow! I mean WOW!

Every single word she said is reverberating in me to my soul.
Thank you for posting this.

[lamp_shade]

3. After her first few sentences, I had to drop what I was doing and get right in

front of her face on the TV. When she said "We have to impeach NOW... not Monday... NOW!!" I froze.

[triron]

44. In all fairness the articles of impeachment were being delineated. Maybe more that a day needed

for that.

2. Saw the show...powerful interviews...

The show ran over almost 20 minutes the segment was that good.

[ananda]

4. I heard this yesterday. It was very powerful..

and moved me to tears.

Thank you for posting this.

[lamp_shade]

8. I had never heard of her. Now I'm a Follower.

[Biophilic]

5. That's quit a thought.

"Democracy is the greatest threat to white supremacy." That one is going to be running around in my head a lot. It says so much in a few succinct words.

[tecelote]

14. "Democracy is the greatest threat to white supremacy."

That's what hit me too.

[Biophilic]

20. I'd never put that together. Often wondered why they hated it. It's so simple. Now I know.

[Bluethroughu]

6. Amazingly Perfect 100s of billions of dollars on police enforment

And white terrorist insurrection, labeled a First Amendment Protest, by the UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

Let that sink in.

White Supremacy ruled the day.

And now the RW narrative blames BLM and antifa for this.

I want public ACCOUNTABILITY, so our country can heal.

[RVN VET71]

32. I agree, but also want accountability

so the seditionist, fascist bastards can be made to suffer for their treason. I want those arrested and convicted to be given a final chance to say a tearful good bye to their “loved ones” and then sent away to a Supermax for the next 20 years, incommunicado, treated to the full experience of being convicted traitors despised by the world outside, a world which, over time, will just forget about them while it gets on with more pressing challenges, problems, and joyous celebrations of life and freedom.

There was an old phrase, hackneyed by over-use, but which is germane here: “Hanging is too good for them."

[Takket]

7. wow such a simple statement...........

“Democracy is the greatest threat to white supremacy.”

we've all heard it the other way a 1000 times but flipping that sentence around makes so much sense...... white supremacists have flourished under trump........... they have escaped pandora's box and drumpf have endeavored to reverse decades of work...... and they do not want to go back in the box now. and the only way to ensure that is to destroy democracy and make drumpf emperor........

[gademocrat7]

9. She was brilliant.

I cried.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Repeat "Democracy is the great threat to white supremacy". It is why when push comes to shove

It is why when push comes to shove they believe in "might makes right" and start pushing and shoving.

[bluestateboomer]

11. Perfect!

[Fla Dem]

12. Powerful! I hope Nancy, Chuck, Joe and Kamala are listening. They're the ones who have to lead.

[Jay25]

13. 100% agree.

She didn’t mince words, in putting the truth out there.

[Gore1FL]

15. That was excellent.

Thank you for posting it.

[ShazzieB]

16. "Democracy is the great threat to white supremacy."

True words. It's also true that white supremacy is the biggest threat to democracy.

[sdfernando]

17. That is such a POWERFULL statement!

So succinct about what has been happening since demented ronnie got elected.

I think I'm going to make up a t-Shirt with this on it and proudly wear it!

[Upthevibe]

18. I saw this too....

She's correct...

[NBachers]

19. 50+ years of a right-wing reactionary movement; the vehicle of that movement is the Republican party

[PatSeg]

21. I saw that as well

And when she said she had been crying all week, it brought tears to my eyes. She expressed so well the absolute urgency of the moment. Okay, now I'm crying again.

[PatrickforO]

24. You and me both. I have wept over this several times.

These right wingers accuse us of hating this country, but I don't and neither do most of the people on here. I want to see it improved, but not overthrown.

I mean, if you are going to tear down everything, like these Boogaloos want to do, what will you replace it with?

Well, we know the answer to that, and it is why these people need to be hunted down, arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned.

[PatSeg]

27. And history has told us over and over again

what kind of system these idiots would replace it with. If any of these fools had any concept of history, world events, or government, they would know what kind of brutal chaos they are inviting. It has happened throughout history and happens all over the world today. They have no idea how good they have it.

[Johnny Noshoes]

37. The Law

[lamp_shade]

25. I've watched it about 10 times and that's the point at which my eyes burn; then, and when

she says "not Monday.... NOW!!"

[PatSeg]

28. We need to hear that tone of urgency

from more people. We might not get another chance to set this right.

[PatrickforO]

22. I like the cut of her jib.

It was later explained, though, that if they tried to summon everyone back this weekend, a Republican would surely object, so they are going to fast track the thing on Monday and have it go to the Senate the next day.

Of course, the traitor McConnell will sit on it, but regardless, the House will move on this unless Trumpy talks Pence, who he tried to have killed, into pardoning him in exchange for his resignation. I think Trump will read the writing on the wall and resign because he is scared of prison.

But I'm darned sight HOPING for impeachment, trial by Senate, and then subsequent federal charges brought against Trump by the DOJ, followed by a well-deserved and long imprisonment in a federal facility. Leavenworth would be nice.

[lamp_shade]

26. I tend to agree with you... that trump will read the writing on the wall.

[patphil]

23. Sally Kohn expresses my sentiments exactly.

[sarchasm]

29. Yes. Yes. Yes. A thousand times, YES!

[SunSeeker]

30. She speaks for me. Thank you.

[usajumpedtheshark]

31. Trump is simply the tip of the spear aimed at our democracy

We need to make sure that this spear of white supremacy is blunted and broken. That spear can not continue to be wielded if our republic is to continue

[iluvtennis]

33. She's spot on. Democracy has given minorities a voice with their votes, and the white supremacists

can't have that. So, they want to tear down democracy.

[spooky3]

34. And to male supremacy. Nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. That is a superlative quote, and I can't believe I've never heard it before.

It's completely true, which makes it all the better.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Kohn: "why are we waiting til Monday? Do it tonight"

[Hekate]

38. Kick. Rec. Bookmark.

[StarryNite]

Thank you for posting this.

[lamp_shade]

42. You're welcome. I very rarely start a discussion here but I was so deeply affected by this clip

and had hoped somebody would post it but... nope... so I just had to share it.
