A GOP senator recited the Declaration of Independence — next to a Confederate flag. As he stood feet from the flag, Sen. Dan Sullivan spoke about the principle that all people are "created equal" and guaranteed the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." www.ms.now/news/dan-sul...

🙄

Could the clueless AK Senator have stood close to a different and more appropriate flag? 🤨 I hope Alaskans elect Mary Peltola! 💙🇺🇸💙❗️

ha

Willful idiot, tone deaf loser, moron? take your pick

So, did a journalist ASK HIM WHY? Because frankly, the pull-quote on 'why' is the more valuable news. Isn't it.

Ответ для TartItUp

Simple all they care about is OWNING THE LIBS on social media & fox news RW 📻 YAKKERS and their podcasts.

Ответ для TartItUp

He could have apologized since it wasn't his event, but his spokesman accused MS NOW of writing a hit piece so I guess not sorry.

That's their flag.

Republicans obviously don't consider it the "Confederate flag." They believe it's the U.S. flag, and they're doing everything within their power to secure ultimate electoral victory for the South.

Clueless doesn’t quite cover it, does it. Willfully obtuse? Deliberately dense?

😡😡😡

Now that’s a true scumbag.

Lightning ⚡️ should have struck this mf

So, it’s confirmed…Republicans are morons…we already knew that.

These people have no shame.

He's such a trump mouthpiece. He ALWAYS votes the way trump wants.

Performative twaddle.

The good people of Alaska know who they can trust. Mary Peltola👇 www.adn.com/politics/202...

Peltola raises millions more than Sullivan in Alaska’s U.S. Senate raceThe race is one of a handful that could determine control of the chamber in the midterm elections.www.adn.com

Irony is lost on MAGA

Just because they can read doesn’t mean they comprehend or care.

Because Republicans really are THAT stupid.

GOP brains are scrambled eggs. Prove me wrong.

Confederacy General, Robert E. Lee: "Remember, we are all one country now. Dismiss from your mind all sectional feeling, and bring them up to be Americans" & "There are few, I believe, in this enlightened age, who will not acknowledge that slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil"

Ответ для A Word

He was traitor

Ew. IMPEACH

Didn't know Alaska fought on the side of the Confederacy.

These old white racist narcissistic republican men are a total embarrassment. Stupid as hell

Sullivan can suck it !

His ‘everyone’ isn’t everyone.

gops are gonna gop.

Did they grow cotton in Alaska?

What in holy hell??!! 🤬

Clueless

Be advised…

We need to stop treating the writings of 18th century, aristocratic, slave-owning, White men as if they’re from the mouth of god. The Declaration of Independence is a lie from the start.

What the fresh hell?

What a fucking asshole.

well sure, as long as those 'all people' are white so-called 'christians,' it's all good.

He was the GODDAMN attorney general before this. Everything Trump touches....... Vote this motherfucker OUT.

sullivan's eyes couldn't hear what his mouth was saying

all these racists are getting too comfortable. i hope something happens in the future that makes all the remaining racists deeply, deeply afraid for their well being.

"All rich, white, straight, Christian, republican males are created equal. Everyone else can get fucked."

I’m thinking about the level of effort it takes to get a Confederate flag onto a stage in Anchorage, Alaska.

Ответ для Elisa Davis

I’m guessing not a lot…

Ответ для Jennifer McIntosh

🤣

Ответ для Elisa Davis

Just go to the roughneck bunk houses

Ответ для Elisa Davis

It was at a church previously called Anchorage Baptist Temple whose founding pastor now runs Falwell's Liberty University, so not too much effort. 😔

Ответ для Carrie Nash

JerryfuckingPrevo. 🤮

Thats a pare for the course clueless move.

NEXT. Which Senator will speak in front of a NAZI flag.

Ответ для Jim Horrigan.

Undoubtedly it's coming.

Lack of self-awareness seems to one of the GOP's super powers.

Gop will stop at nothing in their attempts to rouse Mitch.

Ummm. WTAF?

Need to vote for the other Dan Sullivan in Alaska.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Everyone of them should have been standing there!.

Except immigrants. Being a part of the GOP anti-immigrant machine he should probably acknowledge that.

Публикация скрыта фильтром безопасности.

Stupid, ignorant, willful, all the above?

hearing mike johnson - the mass incarceration presider - preach about human dignity makes me want to punch the glasses off his little elf face

The pinnacle of hypocrisy in the US government: cite the text from a document about freedom and equality while consistently voting to strip the rights away from millions of Americans. It's not about heritage or honoring our country's history: it's about celebrating a racist, bigoted culture.

So where’s the photo?

Unless it smells of DEI, looks WOKE or acts ANTIFA. And any, ‘open to new ideas,’ liberal; better run..

Irony is fucking dead.

Maybe he meant all white people…

🤦🏽

You just can’t make this stuff up. Nope. No can do…

Mountain City Church in Anchorage. Avoid.

So on brand

Alaska. Vote him out!

Vile. Hey, did Dan know Alaska was a territory until 1959? AK wasn’t officially a state until then. Circa 100 yrs after the Confederacy got their asses kicked?

Another history buff.....oon!!!🤬

Dan Sullivan is a Republican from Alaska. I know how important the Confederacy was in Alaska, even though it didn’t become an American territory until 1867.

Fuck all GOP!!! Just fuck them all forever! This midlifer will never forget what you allowed that idiot Trump to get away with. The blood of Ice victims is on all your hands!!!!

They just don’t get it

Alaska is this who you want for another 6+ years?

He literally represents the state whose acquisition was engineered by Lincoln's right-hand man.

Did he amend "all men" to "all white men and not women"?

Dumbest country in the world

Sullivan is a Shameless prick!

Dan Sullivan is a white nationalist & an American traitor.

the gop shows how little they care with crap like this

GOP members lie.

I think now that the Confederate flag should only appear at Civil War Monuments (alongside the US flag), or in museums. But now? To have that flag flown in towns or anywhere nowadays is proselytizing for white supremacy, enslavement of humans, and plantation autocracy and that is NOT AMERICAN!

Republicans turn a deaf ear… even to themselves.

I don't understand the tolerance for the confederate flag and all it stands for in your country. You have kept a serpent of civil war at your bosom. The confederacy never surrendered. It has waged its war in politics & courts and is about to bite you.

Ответ для Wandering Bard

It’s only tolerated by racists.

Ответ для Wandering Bard

My ancestors died fighting for the Union. This infuriates me.

Scary how cognitively disconnected

Another dick with some strangely twisted sense of America.

And he didn’t even see how inappropriate that was!

Well, the last shots of the Civil War were fired in the Bering Sea in August 1865, when the Confederate cruiser CSS Shenandoah sank 23 Yankee whaling ships in one day. So Alaska does have a connection with the CSA.

Maybe appropriate for anyone in the GOP to be in proximity to a Flag of Losers..?

Are you fucking kidding me???

Wtf is wrong with these people?!?!

Still traitors

SICK

Republicans: Government By Cognitive Dissonance.

Wrap him up in the disgusting flag and then use your imagination and years of watching NCIS to be creative. ;)

Quite a juxtaposition. Perfect metaphor of the current state during the series finale of the USA.

Some people are clueless.

Sending a lovely message to the ku klux klan, proud bois, patriot front, oath keepers and various racist scum bags. Good job republicans, keep showing the world your full ass.

Alaska deserves better than that piece of shit

Maybe people running for office should have to take history classes.

Ответ для Spicy Latina

If they had *any* class, it would be an improvement.

I have a right to defend myself from you.. psychotic delusional Republicans.

“We must always remain vigilant about safeguarding the rights and liberties so many Americans have fought and died for over the past 250 years.” as long as it’s just for white people. Right Senator? They’re ALL trash.

M

And no one smacked him upside the head and called him a traitor? The Confederate flag is the flag of traitors.

Asssssssssssssssss

Feels treasonous

Ответ для Caroline Fan

Is treasonous

More gop bulkshit

Lincoln should never have pardoned the Confederate army, should have court martialed and hung them all...💀💀💀💀💀

At best, this is really bad. What is he signifying, he's pro-slavery and pro-white supremacy? I know we're in a dark place, but this is shocking.

It's unbelievable, but in the South they're still fighting the Civil War.

Ответ для Minutello

And now Alaska is part of the South.

GOP is the definition of hypocrisy and racism. I don't think it was always this way, but since Trump, they are free to publicly display these latent sentiments which were socially unacceptable.

News of the Civil War has not yet reached Alaska

You have to understand that some people have a very narrow defintion of "all people"

Dopey “white nationalist” sullivan

Republicans are hypocrites and Christian racists

Serious question: Why are these flags so readily available? Part 2: How should black Americans feel about this?

Since 1861.

Ответ для hellohoney

@debbie156.bsky.social 👆🏼

How much more honest can you yet than...that?

Sheer perfection

The confederacy is alive and well in the Republican Party.

Yeah, that's our worthless senator. He's 100% a trump toadie. Instead of the Declaration of Independence, he should have perused the Constitution of the United States. I doubt he's ever read it.

Ответ для MelanieAK 🇺🇦🐕🐾

You know they say the Republicans have no spine? Fact is, each of them has a perfect spine. Problem is it's on the pocket Constitution they were issued upon election, carry always, and have never read, its spine pristine and uncracked.

Ответ для MelanieAK 🇺🇦🐕🐾

Anchorage Baptist/Mountain City being shitty again. 50+ years of assholishness.

Danny implying civil war not so delicately?

Moronic

WTF? Is the confederate flag just the official flag of the MAGA GOP? North & South of the Mason-Dixon Line?

Ответ для Brenda A

Apparently

For the record, it is VERY clear what we are supposed to do in these times. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…

Irony is lost on these MAGATS.

Ответ для Hittielove2

So is hypocrisy.

RepubliCONS are clueless and lack a sense of irony. 🙄

I have said it, they are the children of confederacy.

🤬

Yes, they really are that clueless and stupid.

He’s human garbage

America has never come to terms with the opening line of the Declaration of Independence. The sense of shame and hypocrisy has haunted them since 1776 hence their appalling behaviour each and every day.

Just willfully stupid people.

This should tell you everything you need to know about the Republican Party. They have the Lost Cause so far up their ass that they will not hold up our symbols and documents in support of the United States, but rather in support of traitors to the United States. They would rather treason than rules

Doesn’t realize that the Confederate flag stands For those who opposed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? That it stands for those who opposed equality? That is an AntiAmerican flag fliwn by traitors who chose to secede from the union?

It is Liberals who are descended from the Declaration of Independence, which lays out an egalitarian, universalist vision for the country while also aiming to dismantle preexisting hierarchies. Its core rests on three principles: human equality, unalienable rights, and the consent of the governed.

Conservatism is about believing in a strict hierarchical society. Rather than being a philosophy of liberty or tradition, the right is actually a reactionary movement that defends power, privilege, and inequality. The Loyalists, enslavers, and segregationists in American history were conservatives.

You guys keep forgetting; The civil war was about “state rights” not slavery. Slavery is never the answer, because you see, we are 10-15 years away from the claims that slavery wasn’t “reeeally” happening in US. And so that flag is just as patriotic if you believe in state rights! It’s not treason

"this will go down on your permanent record"

MF

What. The. Fuck. 😒

The Confederate flag and Alaska have nothing to do with each other. Sullivan is pathetic.

Motherless fuck

That's why we have to erase each flag. When you were born in the US or another state, you did nothing for that. So, why to be proud for something what got for free.

Has he read Article 3 Section 3 Clause 1 of the Constitution that says levying war against the United States is treason?

The blatant racism is one of their big points. They want to rub it in every liberal's face. I don't get it. But Nazis gonna Nazi, I guess.

There is not a single Republican in this country that wouldn't make the world a better place by leaving it.

🤡 show

If that isn’t a bullhorn in the fucking face. The Confederacy has been plotting a come back since they lost. If you think they just took their lumps, then you’re not paying attention- In that time since they also weaved in a more extreme ideology…..and here we are.

Confederate? From Alaska? Oh look another Harvard grad too.

Literally white trash

You hear the talk. Then, you see the walk. Which tells the truth?

They're not at all very bright, are they?🫤

What the hell was a confederate flag doing there?

Ответ для Morgan18

Eh, it's in Alberta, too, for whatever god-cursed reason. THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG

Yes man dan, trump's lapdog 🤮

He was whistling Dixie in his head while reciting the Declaration I'm sure.

He thinks that will get him reelected! He needs to be taught otherwise! Democrat Mary Peltola is running against him in Alaska — 👉Donate & vote for Mary Peltola!👈

Bet he learned his hypocrisy in church…eh..?

KKK in the A-Las-ka…!

Simple enough - MAGAs = Confederates. This is how the US would have looked if Lincoln had lost the 1860 election - permanent minority rule based on racial, religious & gender hierarchy. Their dream didn’t die at Appomattox!

Some people probably believe that was a “mistake” on his part. I’m sure it was an intentional message of Republican solidarity with the fucking racists.

White Nationalist

Hey Alaska. Vote for the other Dan Sullivan!!

The most intellectually, morally, and temperamentally bankrupt group of people in the modern era. Congratulations Republicans.

Alaska?!

Republicans are too stupid to understand any of those concepts.

That would be the definition of a nazi!

They are honoring the Confederate TRAITORS who killed Americans every time they fly that flag. That flag being flown in Alaska is just announcing you are a fucking racist. They were Russia when the CSA got their asses kicked by America.

Wtaf with these clowns.

Ответ для NatlCatSystems

They’re coming apart at the seams 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

That rich!

So I was in a bar in Atlanta last week and got into a discussion about causes of the American civil. war. It ended abruptly when I quoted the cornerstone speech and Texas declaration of succession.

When the Civil War ended, the folks who fought to defend their right to own another human being were left to return to their homes, live out their lives, and pass their values on to their progeny, now known as the Republican Party and those who vote for them. Essentially, that's how we got here...

Would it be too much to have the headline reflected in the photo thumbnail for the story? @ms.now

You do know the little extra bit in the confederate statement don't you.?

Dan Sullivan is a big grifter. #Alaska #Senate Vote for a real Alaskan.. Mary Peltola!

Dan Sullivan was already on thin Alaskan ice even before this. Does he know that Alaska didn’t become a state until 94 years after the Confederacy was defeated?

The article describes the Confederate flag as "an image that has come to represent racism, oppression and white supremacy." The same can be said of the United States flag. The words of the Declaration are noble, but they were no more applied to black people in the North than in the South.

The Confederates were fighting against much of what we are fighting against today--sending the military to kill and terrorize civilians, arresting journalists, shutting down opposition media, manipulating the Electoral College.

The pro-slavery flag needs to be banned.

Ответ для Weshlovrcm

Or burned.

Ответ для Spaaaace Ghoooost

Or torn up into small squares to wipe my ass with.

Ответ для Martooni

I'd be worried about infection or STDs. You have no idea what they've been doing with that thing.

Ответ для Weshlovrcm

I find it hilarious that they fly the losers flag and that they reenact the Civil War, LOL even when they're reenacting the Civil War they're still fucking losers. The South will never rise again

Literally the flag of the US Republican Party. Damn, people keep up. They've been Confederates for a long time now.

Traitor!
