As you know by now, President Trump has made history by becoming the first president to have been impeached twice. The official charge was “incitement of insurrection,” but as Christopher F. Rufo pointed out earlier this week, the blanket term of “white supremacy” has become synonymous with “sedition,” and even President-elect Joe Biden claimed that things would have gone much differently if Black Lives Matter had stormed the Capitol, throwing the Capitol Police under the bus as trigger-happy racists.
Rep. Cori Bush, who last weekend said she was introducing under the 14th Amendment a resolution to investigate and expel the members of Congress who helped incite a white supremacist coup attempt, again brought up white supremacy in her argument to impeach Trump, saying that to protect black lives, the first step would be to root out white supremacy by impeaching the white supremacist-in-chief.
St. Louis and I rise to say that the 117th Congress has a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives.
The first step in that process is rooting out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist-in-chief. pic.twitter.com/TmYD1bU6ij

This is a violation of House rules and the kind of rhetoric we should reject. https://t.co/HH9KrdLJiO

Even calling yourself a grandmother and a mother and a sister is a violation of House rules.
Likewise @RashidaTlaib just called him the “racist-in-chief.” https://t.co/uE5zY2JXOv

Democrats have just casually and automatically turned the Capitol Hill riot into a racist white supremacist event, even though it had nothing to do with race at all

So are we impeaching the president for inciting an insurrection or for being a white supremacist?
It must poll well or something, otherwise I have no idea.

A Twitter and Facebook – approved conspiracy theory.

It’s so much easier to just call everything racist then to actually have a real discussion with actual facts.

Totally off the mark. Just too tempting, I guess, to play that race card.

Why are you surprised? They turn everything into a race issue. It's actually pretty impressive that they can spin literally everything that way

Every thing is racist in 2021

White Supremacy is the new Russian Collusion. Try to keep up.

We too saw the guy carrying around the Confederate flag in the Capitol and don’t doubt that there were white supremacists involved in breaking the law. But if you’re going to impeach and remove Trump from office for being a white supremacist, we’re going to need to see more evidence, and not the “fine people” hoax again.
