In a week of double standards, adding another. Republicans opposing Trump’s impeachment because it'll “further enrage Mr. Trump supporters,” to quote @WSJ, hardly ever oppose letting violent cops off the hook because it'll further enrage Black people. 1/5 https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-final-days-11610062773

Every time a police officer murders a Black person, it further enrages Black people and divides the American people. Every time a violent police officer is not convicted for murdering a Black person, it further enrages Black people and divides the American people. 2/5

Opposing Trump’s impeachment, a @WSJ editorial states: “It would further enrage Mr. Trump’s supporters in a way that won’t help Mr. Biden govern, much less heal partisan divisions. It would pour political fuel on Wednesday’s dying embers.” 3/5 https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trumps-final-days-11610062773

But GOP officials have no problem enraging Black people, stoking partisan divides, and pouring political fuel when they lionize the violent cop and demonize the dead, when they allow the status quo of police violence and unaccountability to persist. 4/5

The audacity of GOP hypocrisy. 5/5
