In reply to the discussion: Just saw Kamau Bell on CNN still defending the phrase "defund the police". [View all]Budi
(15,325 posts)..even tho Bell doesn't officially represent the Democratic Party, so claiming, because its a 1st Amendment right.
Sure. Just as FOX, etc claim.
That claim which is correct, doesn't make their message true.
Examine the message being sent, not the right to say it.
I believe there's been sufficient proof presented here, that questions why Bell is promoting the slogan, DTP.
Not questioning Bell's right to say it, rather what & why a controversial & clearly damaging statement to the election of Democrats is being still being stated as a "good thing".
For who is it good exactly?
Not those close Dem races we sorely needed.
Imagine a country with NO police. But everyone can carry a weapon?
THAT is what the DTP broad messaging was saying, as many interpreted the broad slogan.
And THAT is why the slogan was a goldmine for the GOP against Democrats.
And here Bell sits STILL making the claim.
Why? Unless....
Welp, that's all I'm adding here.
It's still a slogan that blew up in Democrats faces.
But, hey. Maybe that was the intent?
Depends who promots it, as one may determine.
It's My opinion & my 1st amendment right to say it.
Later..
