When did Obama run against Trump?

Never said they did. Who do you think the 5 individuals who are confronting these people in their office supported? Simple question.

What you are literally telling me is: I am fine with convicting a person based on that persons racism. No evidence needed.

I'm not convicting anyone. So that's not literally what I'm saying.

What difference does that make? If they supported Trump does that automatically make them racist?

It definitely makes me question their decision making abilities... Like it would make me question the decision making of somebody who supported Hitler...

You actually thought this post out before you typed it? Your going to take the time to defend people like this? Wow.

Did you watch the video. I'm not the one that needs to think things out before posting.
 
But to be fair virtually nobody in here really thinks things out before posting.
 
Those dudes never even walked through the door. And now you're saying they "confronted" the political opponent and they are white supremacists. Now they may have poor judgement in who they are walking around with (Marjorie Greene), but that's about the only thing you can definitively say about them.

To be fair, if she is their employer it's tough to blame them for being there... Getting fired and losing healthcare for your family isn't something to look forward to.

Working for a member of Congress isn't like working for ordinary business. You can work at Walmart and think they suck, but people who work for politicians do so because they support their views.

Excellent point.

Maybe. Maybe not. People do a lot of things to get paid.

No, Congressional staffers are hired because they are supporters.

While it is likely that congressional staffers support the politician's political views, it is not a requirement for employment.

Congressional Staffer Duties & Responsibilities
Congressional staffers are most likely assigned the tasks no one else wants to do when they first sign on to a Congressional staffer job. This job generally requires the ability to do perform the following tasks as well:


  • Take phone calls from constituents.
  • Correspond using email with supporters.
  • File and organize paper and electronic reports and data.
  • Draft written responses to letters.
  • Schedule Congressmember's commitments and appearances.
  • Make travel arrangements.
  • Arrange speaking engagements.
  • Attend and document meetings.
  • Research policy and legislation.
  • Analyze drafts to ensure they meet legislative standards.
  • Track legislation.

I'm sorry I don't remember exactly which link it was. There are a lot of them if you just google Congressional Staff requirements or qualifications.

Do you really think Marjorie Taylor Greene is mature enough to hire a democrat or someone that didn't support her very narrow flavor of conservatism?

I know that there have been presidential administrations that have hired staff outside of political affiliations, but this is MTG we're talking about.

This discussion is about who those dudes are that were with her when she tried to enter the building where her political opponent was. They are likely staff members, but I have seen no proof of that. And who knows what positions of hers they supported? I certainly don't know. Are we supposed to assume they are racist Nazi's that are there to intimidate?

The ones with phone out, snickering, making sure they were all in the door way where the black candidate could see them. Yeah, that's totally not intimidating.

There was one guy with his phone out and he was standing behind Greene. And he was the smallest of the 3 guys. The other two I doubt were visible to anyone on the other side, but who knows? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how that is intimidating.

Think about it. Put yourself in the opponents shoes.

A black candidate is sitting in his campaign office. Greene, a known far right politician who has attended and thrown rallies that are racist and preach violence, walks in surrounded by four white dudes. That wouldn't be intimidating?

That's just it. Nobody walked in. Greene was in the doorway and the others were outside. I doubt he could even see two of them anyway. And there were 3 white dudes, not 4. The gist I got from the Twitter post is that he was not intimidated anyway.

She was a step in. One of the guys was right behind her in clear view with his phone out filming. There were four. There were all pretty close to one another, snickering like highschool kids pranking someone. They were within view from the door.

Yeah, he wasn't because he's a badass, but alot of black candidates would be. Greene isn't a nice person. She wasn't there just drop in a say hello, and welcome him.

There was 3 as far as I could tell. The fourth guy came by at the end, he wasn't part of the original party. I don't think two of them were visible as well. Especially with all of the campaign posters hanging on the window. I agree that Greene isn't a nice person. I would not support her.

Maybe in some economies, but right now, every business has a 'we're hiring' sign up. It's a choice to work for a crazy racist troll.
