It Should Matter

The President of the United States posted a video of a minor child brutally attacking another minor child and than used a false narrative to incite violence against religious and ethnic groups.

I know there is a lot going on but this has be a bigger issue.

Imagine you are a kid, in a foreign country no less, and the POTUS, the most power human being on Earth, post a horrible video of you being attacked, that you got removed from the Internet, and then uses it as a false narrative to incite hate. It’s disturbing. It’s wrong. It should be criminal.

We should be making a much bigger deal of this. Now is not the time to become jaded to this horror show.

It has to matter. We should not be jaded or dismissive of how incredibly disturbing and racist this action from him is.
