“Is that what we want? As the Justice Democrats deliberately try to use chaos to tear down our government, and our principles, and our foundations..." - Glenn Beck
John,
This week, Glenn Beck took the airwaves to engage in a racist rant against Ilhan Omar and Justice Democrats — accusing us of trying to tear down this government, and the founding principles of America.
Let’s be clear: our movement doesn’t stand for tearing things down. We’re about building a democracy that works for everyone, equity for every American, and the progressive policies that working-class Americans deserve.
That scares Glenn Beck, and his conservative talk radio patrons — because we’re willing to speak truth to power, and advocate for an end to the system that has protected demagogues like him, and demonized leaders like Ilhan Omar.
And the attacks won’t stop. Conservative firebrands and corporate incumbents alike are desperate to defeat the popular movements that our Justice Democrats in Congress are building. Their very existence dispels the attacks of people like Donald Trump, who weaponize racism to fulfill a partisan agenda.
But when people learn about Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and see their incredible passion for building a nation that reflects true social, racial, economic, and environmental justice for all, the wall of divisive politics built by the Republican Party starts to crumble. Glenn Beck can spend his days screaming false attacks and racist tirades into a microphone all he likes. As long as we’re out in the streets, reaching out to new communities, and building a powerful coalition for justice, we will defeat his demagoguery. In solidarity, Justice Democrats
