CNN knows no bounds. Their ability to turn everything into a racial issue will always amaze me. Just like how on Monday, correspondent Nadia Romero tied the Georgia runoff races to slavery. Two black men running for high political offices and CNN wants viewers to believe that it’s a race issue. Who are they calling a bigot? Republican Hershal Walker or Democrat Ralph Warnock? It’s really not clear from her convoluted argument.
Romero began by mocking Georgia’s Christian majority saying, noting that the state was once home to slave owners, “runoff elections happening in the south in the Bible Belt, and states that were formerly slave-owning states. And that is why so many people, including the Georgia NAACP says that there is a racist element to why we have runoff elections as a total. “And that is why so many people, including the Georgia NAACP says that there is a racist element to why we have runoff elections as a total.” Well, there you have it—The NAACP said it so it must be true?
Check out Romero’s example:
“If you have one black candidate, and then you had three or four other white candidates. Now all those white candidates can throw their power behind that white person, the white population can now throw their power behind that candidate and ensure that a black person could never win.”
Just one problem with her theory, both men are black but okay. Back to her argument:
” How could that be knowing that at times in the state the black population was up to some 40 percent, there’s always been black people in this state always voting, always a prominent force. But still, it took to 2021 before Raphael Warnock was able to make that achievement, that accomplishment, so here we are with this system that is in place.”
Georgia has elected several prominent and influential black politicians into office throughout several political seats around the state. The key difference between candidates in Georgia clearly has nothing to do with the skin color of the person like CNN would have viewers believe. In fact, the biggest deciding factor for most of the state really just comes down to party affiliation.
I see how this is a hard concept for liberals to grasp, but some places are not pro-Democrat and that’s just the way that it is. Voters are also not obligated to vote based on their own gender, religion, or skin color but that’s another concept that alludes to the folks at CNN.
Her rant continued on with her basically trying desperately to turn the Georgia runoffs into a racially charged issue.
Watch
Turning everything into a racial issue has really become a skill for the folks down at CNN. This one was just so answered that I felt it was worth mentioning. This is how the network plans to motivate its viewers to get out and vote.
