RNC Spokesperson Denounces 'All People Are Created Equal' as 'Radical Left Socialism'



RNC Spokesperson Denounces ‘All People Are Created Equal’ as ‘Radical Left Socialism’
Published on July 6, 2020 at 02:12 PM ET
By David Edwards – Raw Story


Republican National Committee spokesperson Liz Harrington on Sunday denounced the idea that “all people are created equal.”

During an appearance on Fox News, Harrington blasted an op-ed in which presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden declared “all people are created equal and should be treated equally throughout their lives.”

Harrington claimed that the idea is an assault on the Declaration of Independence, which says that all “men” are created equal.

“It’s amazing for Joe Biden to talk about eroding our foundation when his party is taking us sledgehammer to it,” Harrington complained. “They are saying you can’t go to Mt. Rushmore, you can’t celebrate Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.”

“His party is trying to rewrite history and tear it all down,” she continued. “And it’s very fitting that Joe Biden, in this op-ed, has the audacity to literally rewrite the greatest foundational document in this history of mankind, the Declaration of Independence.”

“His woke staffers changed it to — not ‘all men are created equal’ — all people are created equal,” the RNC spokesperson said, “and all people are guaranteed equality throughout life.”

According to Harrington, “That is not a constitutional republic.”

“That’s the same radical left socialism that has taken over his party,” she added. “That is really not just eroding our foundation, but rewriting it and out to destroy it.”

“and all people are guaranteed equality throughout life.”

The horrors...

The right-wing mindset that associates using "people instead of men" with the "radical left" has always been there, this is just the most recent manifestation of it.

said Liz Harrington, the woman RNC spokesperson whose own right to vote was not enshrined in the Constitution. So, was the 19th Amendment an example of "the same radical left socialism" that is "not just eroding our foundation, but rewriting it and out to destroy it", Liz?

So all the RW white supremacist women making this point need to, well, they need to shut the fuck up. Not being equal, and all that.

8. Notice how she says "woke staffers" wrote Biden's speech, instead of Biden himself.

This is in keeping with the RNC's efforts to paint Biden as out of it and incoherent.
