And so,
I'm not sure what the president was trying to do there, or maybe he thought that was going to ingratiate himself with the black community.
What would really help to ingratiate him with the black community is stop the assault that we're seeing on the black community.
We will not allow untrained, unqualified and unaccountable agents to deputize our brave local law enforcement officers.
We believe in due process here in the state of Maryland, and we refuse to blur the lines.
between state and federal authority in ways that undermine the trust between law enforcement and the communities that they serve.
And the best way to address crime is by making sure that the communities feel safe and want to be involved in the process to stop it in the first place.
I mean, the same right wing blog.
I can.
I can address the fact that I'm the grandson of someone who was born in South Carolina.
And when he was just a child, the Ku Klux Klan ran their family, ran my family out and not out of South Carolina.
They ran them out of the United States of America and they went to Jamaica.
And much of my family has always said they would never come back to this country.
It's the reason why my mom right now as we speak is in Jamaica and she's visiting with family members.
But my grandfather came back to this country.
He got his degree from Lincoln University in HBCU in Pennsylvania.
He became a minister just like his father.
And he became the first black minister in the history of the Dutch Reformed Church.
I know my family's history.
So if some blog has a question about the Klan's history, maybe they should ask the Ku Klux Klan.
