DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS. WATCH WHAT HE DOES: Making it worse? Day after Obama trashed cops at Dallas memorial service, look who he’s meeting with. “Among those attending Obama’s meeting today on policing: Lynch, Deray McKesson, LA Mayor Garcetti, Sharpton, heads of IACP, NAACP, NAPO,” Josh Lederman of AP tweets.
As Jim Hoft noted earlier this week at Gateway Pundit:
McKesson was a lead full-time paid protester in Ferguson, Missouri during the riots and looting. He later was became a lead activist in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray riots. DeRay McKesson and the other Ferguson and Baltimore protest leaders were trained in Soros-funded agitation…Last week DeRay was just awarded a job with the Baltimore school district in human resources making $165,000 a year.
That’s after McKesson unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Baltimore and taught a course at Yale, “featuring reading material such as, The Problem of Whiteness,” Jazz Shaw wrote in February at Hot Air. Additionally, the course’s syllabus also brought new meaning to the phrase “liberal arts” when it covered “In Defense of Looting.”
More Shaw:
When you fold that in with a career as a substitute teacher and regular feature on MSNBC talking about rioting, you have a world class resume of someone prepared to take on the massive budget challenges of a nearly bankrupt city and the social unrest which regularly threatens to see it burned to the ground. He’s also been a resident of Baltimore “for several months” now so he’s got the favorite son thing going for him.
I love Tom Wolfe, but I missed the memo: how did Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers and Bonfire of the Vanities become how-to guides for the 21st century government?
