So if there is some crazy breaking news story that happens at some point today and I don't cover it I will get I'll get to that tomorrow but anyway company Christmas party tonight very excited for that and speaking of Christmas the war on Christmas has begun and Democrats are putting their woke spin on things this year we're going to get into that also Gavin Newsom is just digging a hole now
claiming that he is the most pro-trans governor ever. That's nothing to be proud of. But after receiving backlash for saying just that, his press office is doubling down. We're going to get into that as well. Also, AOC's campaign has racked up thousands of dollars in pricey hotel charges in Puerto Rico. I guess she's taking a page out of Jasmine Crockett's book. Put your phones on Do Not Disturb. Nightly Scroll starts now.
All right, so former MSDNC, MS Now host Joy Reid, she shared this video to Instagram. And this video claims that the song Jingle Bells that we all know and love has a racist history. So here's a guy who's going to tell us all about how Jingle Bells is racist. So he's talking about how a Confederate soldier wrote this song to make fun of black people. So here is what the video says. This plaque in Medford, Massachusetts honors where James Lord Piermont wrote Jingle Bells, but ignores its origins in blackface. What is that? Minstrelsy? Minstrelsy? I've never even heard of that word. I know minstrel, but minstrelsy? I've never heard it like that. Okay. In the mid 1800s, Piermont was broke and needed quick cash.
So he turned to the hugely profitable world of minstrel shows. Okay. Then it says the song first called The One Horse Open Sleigh debuted in blackface at Ordway Hall in Boston in September of 1857. OK, while actors in burnt cork used the song to mock and caricature black people trying to participate in winter activities. Okay. The original lyrics theme of laughing all the way likely references a racist comedic routine known as the laughing darky. Piermont's other minstrel works like Kitty Crow and the Colored Coquette repeatedly refer. This is I'm reading this and it's very far away. So this is why I'm like squinting. I told them earlier. I was like, oh, yeah, I can read this. It's totally fine. Refer to black people as the N-word and darkies.
And then it says then came the Civil War.
What is the left's war on Christmas about?
Piermont abandoned his family who were northern abolitionists and enlisted in the Confederate Army. And then he wrote this racist song, I guess. And it's now over the time it's been whitewashed. And now there's happy myths about its creation and how it became popular. Okay. I mean, the lyrics literally are Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell, Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell, Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh. Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh. They should have kept that name. One horse open sleigh, the whole song. Over the hills we go, laughing all the way. Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright.
Oh, what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. This was supposed to make fun of black people participating in winter activities. I just don't really buy that. It's not that I don't believe that, you know, this these kinds of shows went on.
