RUSH EXCERPT:
RYE: "You know, I think that it‘s wonderful that President Obama is out hitting the trail for democracy frankly. What I think is a mistake is to let white folks escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves like they want to get mad at present. Presidential candidates, right when they don‘t wear a flag lapel pin or they don‘t see you pledging allegiance to the flag. That‘s what they want to get upset about. Now, the face of patriotism to them looks like trying to tear down the capital in a terrorist attack on January 6, 2021 the responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country that is white men and white women. I don‘t want to see a women‘s March.”
