Larry Wilmore came down hard on the GOP leadership on Monday’s edition of “The Nightly Show.”
Wilmore initially celebrated the event as a unifying moment for Americans of all stripes to remember an inspiring chapter of national history.
“Even noted impressionist painter George W. Bush and his wife and muse Laura were there!” Wilmore said. “That’s what made this so special.”
But he was disappointed to learn that the Republican leadership would be skipping the event. It convinced him that the rivalry between had gone from Lakers vs. Celtics to a “Batman-Joker thing.”
“Mitch McConnell and John, look—I get you don’t support Obama, but you could’ve at least showed up to support John Lewis,” he said.
“Your party stood with him in 1965, so shame on you for not supporting him in 2015,” he added.
Watch the clip:
I wonder which Teabagger will accuse Wilmore of dividing our nation once again for bringing this issue up in the first place. And because Wilmore brought it up, that makes HIM the racist.
Hello? Southern Strategy? Anyone?
Keepin’ it 100: you can’t shame those without any.
In the vein of, this is a Republican feature-not a bug, there is no surprise.
This is what Republicans do, or don’t do to be more accurate. They deny equality and openly show disdain for people of all colors, blacks just happen to be right in their wheel house. They also no likey, yellow, brown and red peeps.
How could a bunch of crackers that work to deny the rights of blacks to vote, walk with those same blacks, in celebration of gaining their full right to vote, hand in hand with a half-black President that they completely disrespect and right next to their supreme idiot leader, that only comes out at peace rallies. They can’t, because that would mean that they are against themselves and against their base and actually cared for something other than using humans as punching bags, which they clearly don’t.
Nope, its no surprise at all.
