GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:
https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/
When I see anyone kneeling before BLM it is obvious they are saying "Please don't hurt me" It is NOT a sign of respect. It is a human reaction to terrorism. Anyone that kneels for a terrorist while not in direct danger from that terrorist is just weak and hoping their life will be spared. A true leader bows to NO ONE!
She is out of her mind she’s old and she has to go By by by by !!!!!!She is mentally sick
We gather in honor of a thug high on meth resisting arrest who had a long rap sheet was in and out of jail many time for possession, assault, robbery. This man once held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly while her home was being robbed. Let us all kneel in honor.
Where can I get one of those Kunta Kinte scarfs?
I feel so “woke” right now……..
I'm actually quite liberal politically but this is pathetic, embarrassing and ridiculous.
Those scarfs around their necks are from a tribe that sold the slaves to the Europeans I wonder if it's a hint to let us know they have enslaved portions of America btw Democrats were the Confederacy
kneeling for a guy who put gun to pregnant womans stomach….I hope they buried him with fireproof underwear, he is gonna need it.
I HOPE THEY GOT ROBED BY SOME GANGSTERS WHO FORGOT TO BRING FOOD STAMPS
Check out the Scarfs. Where did they get those? This is the funniest photo op I think I've ever seen. Phonies…
What does that really mean.
What is being WORSHIP here??
"They are trying" news flash it works both ways pal.
The tribe "Ashanti" was chief among African slave traders. No wonder they are wearing the sash from that tribe. First the democrats were slave traders. Then Margret Sanger started abortions to euthanize the blacks (Democrat) then the Dixiecrats (rotten Democrats) and now this? Hmmm. Makes sense!
AMERICA… ITS TIME TO GET RID OF THE PEST!!! This people are IDIOTS!!
Get up and give me my food stamp back!
One of the most amusing things about this charade is that the cloths that they are "appropriating" are those of African babarian kingdoms, that though great and powerful, were, also, slave owning, slave trading and slave sacrificing.
I wonder who’s idea this was…🤷🏻♀️
PANDERING to the gullible who think this means anything.
All loyal subjects of Egypt – bow down in submission to your king and ruler – the great and mighty PHARAOH.
Um, what the um. I'm a Democrat but my party has swung to far left!
Jerryyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Get down!!!!!!!!!! No, I'd not get up, look at Nancy! LMFAO! WE WANT OUR TAX BACK!!!!
The Democrats are wearing the colors of the Ashanti Tribe, those were the people who captured Africans and sold them as slaves to the West.
Pandering 101 = Democrats' bread and butter for begging for votes
Ashanti tribe colors? Look it up. Warriors yes, but This tribe were slave traders.
Criminals are same
Why didn't nadler kneel?
Omg. That wasn't a good idea
Hahaha too funny, so embarrassing
This is beyond embarrassing. Then again, we are talking about the democrats.
Hahahaha this is how stupid there are the kente cloth comes from the Ashanti tribe slavery was there tradition they would capture other clans and enslave and sell them fact check Ashanti empire
Must be the longest the congressional democrats have ever kept silent.
Democrats are the most divisive people in our country's history and this is a dog and pony show
They want them votes soooooo bad
This is the United States of America and we don't kneel. That is the privilege we have all inherited from the people who gave their lives for it. We don't kneel to kings, dictators, foreign governments, political parties, political movements, politicians, celebrities, corporations or other people alive or dead. We certainly don't kneel because some spoiled football player doesn't think the world is fair. This is the most digusting exibition of false humility I've ever seen and the damage it is doing will cost many more lives. They are loading the powder keg of ignorance for the next spark to set it off which will happen after all the looting and destruction that has already taken place. These are the most evil people who seek power at any cost. Please, please vote them out. They have strayed so far from democraic principles that nobody will have any rights to refute them if they come into full power.
This is a despicable display of covert racism. Everyone around the world is with you and the cause but why murder more people and destroy your own peoples livelihoods and country live on global air. 🤷🏼♂️
I hope smart people will not support Democrats and this shame which obviously watch all the world
Hilarious, pepsicola dressed like Eddie Murphy (coming to america)
Look like an AARP cult meeting
Honoring a career criminal who would have had no second thought of assaulting and robbing every Democrat mourning his loss….priceless!! A gift to the Trump campaign!! A guy who held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman in a home invasion!!….BLM ….Apparently pregnant lives don't
CORY BOOKER SMART ENOUGH TO NOT ROCK THE KENTE
Nancy tells them when to speak .. when to be sad and somber…how to dress…when not to applaud ect. I think the Swamp should all dress the same…so you can spot them in a crowd !!!
Cultural appropriation maybe?
Looool you goooot to be kidding me. Are those African scarves on their shoulders? Looool desperate times call for desperate measures I guess. I think with the African scarves they are tryin to relate with the recent African immigrant population looool this has to be a joke
Shame
Anybody who cant tell they are straight up pandering is basically retarded.
Democrats wearing the royal kente cloth, of the Ashanti Empire who sold slaves to the Portuguese, British & Dutch… WTF Democrats… What's next wearing swastikas to show solidarity with Jews?
Who's the bloke who didn't take a knee?
Abit weird
The party of the KKK wearing the tribal scarf of a tribe that done slavary.
While repeating what the police officer done to George.
They didnt lay on the floor and can't breath. They put their knee on the floor saying how hard it was to kneel down for so long.
9 min of silence? you would think jesus came back to life and died again for that amount of time.
Lmao abc should report that the like to dislike ratio and comment section say it all
