No graphic. [But I will re-run the eloquent "Hamilton" closing request video (the cast, speaking to Mr. Pence, who was that night in the audience in Chicago, from Thanksgiving 2016.]
| ..... |
Mr. Pence, please -- just read MLK's 1963 letter from that jail cell in Birmingham -- not a single word of it supports any wall -- nor does the Dream speech. . . nor does even a single day of King's life.
In sum, then -- every word Mike Pence uttered yesterday was false. Apparently, he and 45 spent a little over two whole minutes today, at the King Memorial. They shot 30 seconds of video, and left. Here's the odious Pence quote, for posterity: . . . .“One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King was, ‘Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.’ You think of how he changed America. He inspired us to change through the legislative process to become a more perfect union. That’s exactly what President Trump is calling on the Congress to do,” Pence, 59, remarked. . . . |
This is evil. And Mr. Pence well knows it. The real "promise of democracy" applies -- in full -- to refugees and asylum seekers. They DO arrive lawfully, Mr. Pence. Please read our own laws, Mr. Pence. Start with 8 U.S.C. § 1158(a)(1). I'm out.
Also, do recall what the cast of "Hamilton" asked of you, now a little over two years ago. It appears above, left.
