Baker: “When I look at both of them I see the same thing.”

“When I look at both of them I see the same thing.”

That’s what Charlie Baker had to say about this summer’s Black Lives Matter protests and the armed insurrection at the Capitol incited by his Republican Party’s leader.

Let me be clear: these are not the same. Will you join the MassDems in condemning Baker’s comments? CLICK HERE to add your name.

The protests this summer called for an end to police violence against Black Americans. What we saw last week was a violent coup attempt by neo-Nazis and white supremacists incited by Trump to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

This isn’t any different than when Donald Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides” after white supremacists marched on Charlottesville in 2017. Baker’s comments are straight out of the Republican playbook.

There’s no bothsidesing this--Baker’s GOP talking points won’t work on the people of Massachusetts. Join us in condemning Baker’s comments by adding your name today.
