Every once in a while we come across a back and forth that really speaks for itself.
And this back and forth between Kira Davis and John Cardillo is one of those times.
Kira actually makes a really good point about the Right ‘dying’ on this Juneteenth hill:
The smart move here would be to start lifting this up as a Republican holiday. The marketing & messaging opportunities are endless. But go ahead and keep losing, y'all. I'll be over here rolling my eyes as usual. https://t.co/e1wHVx9Cif

What she said.
Considering Republicans were the ones who fought to end slavery, we are in agreement with Kira on this one. Yeah yeah, it’s ANOTHER holiday and the Left is PANDERING, but ultimately she’s right. Being the party who ended slavery we should be the ones promoting a holiday that celebrates the work we did.
Just sayin’.
Not sure why people are so against it.
I couldn’t disagree more with this. Republicans have to stop pandering to voting blocs that hate and won’t vote for them.
Dems are literally the party of slavery yet they own the black vote.
Trump gave the black community record low unemployment and they still voted for Biden. https://t.co/zvQEJ0Drpy

Pandering?
Alrighty.
Any black Democrat reading your response would say, "Yeah, I made the right choice." You care about the GOP responding to their base. You call that "engagement" but when one suggests they "engage" the black community you call it "pandering"…that's a thoughtless view.

My family emigrated from Italy to New York. We didn’t own slaves and I am not going to be guilted into making believe we did because you RINOs want to play identity politics.
Trump engaged and the black community still turned on him.

You obviously know nothing about what I do. Come back an apologize when you figure it out.

Kira is hardly a RINO.
Yikes.
I actually do and I disagree with you.
We have bent over backward for the en masse black vote and it simply doesn’t come.
If record low unemployment didn’t do it, nothing will.
We need to focus on our base and those centrists who will vote Republican.

if you called me a RINO then you don't know what I do.
— Kira (@RealKiraDavis) June 17, 2021
That. ^
I’m sorry but playing into the left by buying into racial identity politics is a RINO position.

The GOP braintrust has no intention of vying for the Black vote, even though it's there to win. We don't OWE YOU OUR VOTES. Come earn them! https://t.co/H5peQznpbE

She gets it.
Why are Republicans willing to die on this hill? Shouldn’t they be championing this as a national holiday since it was the Republicans who fought to free the slaves? We agree with Kira here, this seems like a really bad play by some folks on the right.
Sorry, not sorry.
