Why would I even consider your spin when you think I am a Trump supporter. Your judgment is now in question.It is amusing that she is quoting Founding Fathers who in the past, they [Democrats] have denounced as racists.
Unable to get through the nuance, eh? Let me try to help.
To say that people a few hundred years ago would not be considered racist by today's standards would be a tad dishonest. They owned human beings for the sake of their skin color, they were a tad racist. However that is not why we hold them in high regard, they like anyone else is not perfect (Trump supporters more than anyone should understand this). Their legacy is not that of racism but of being the founders of a great democratic society. We have since improved on that concept to be more inclusive of race and sex and if you're at least somewhat normal (this is where some Trump supporters will get lost) we don't want to devolve back into the 1700s. Our country has been able, at least up until now to evolve and overcome obstacles such as slavery, segregation and the Jim Crow south and built upon the civil rights for all of our citizens. It started with the founding fathers, it finishes long after we are gone.
The simple and straight forward understanding is that when the Founding Fathers and their beliefs interfere with what you (this is a broad meaning of the left) you will dismiss them as racists and scum. But, you are not above using them to bolster a week argument.
As the one Congressman (I can't remember his name) said, the House has taken the equivalent of two months off since Sept of this year, but now it suddenly threatens our republic.
This is pure politics, done for show. It will cost the Democrats the House, they have no chance at the Presidency.
