DeSantis-Douchebag Award Winner
I hate to keep hitting on Trump’s naked racism displayed on Twitter a few days ago, but the complete lack of rebuke from the Republicans is astonishing and disturbing. One of these Congress members is going to be attacked, and her blood will be on the hands of Republicans who will claim it’s not their fault, they never called for violence.
Ron DeSantis went out of his way to grab hold of Trump’s coattails in 2016, and he continues to cling. He has been completely mum on the issue. Because of his utter lack of moral courage, we’re giving the Governor a Douchebag Award today. I’d like to remind of the famous remark by Elie Wiesel. In his December 10, 1986, Nobel Prize acceptance speech Wiesel famously said:
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe.”
So, Ron, you need to understand that your cowardly silence constitutes an endorsement. History will remember your silence.
