Liberal activists and politicians have not reacted well to Donald Trump’s election. A group of progressive politicians gathered to protest Trump’s recent executive orders, which have slashed the budget of USAID. Lateefah Simon, a Democratic congresswoman from California, took aim at Trump and the entire Republican Party in her woke rant.
“Good afternoon. I am a congresswoman from California’s 12th Congressional District, the most progressive district in these United States of America. I come to you today after 30 years of organizing on the ground, and one of the things that I know is that the Republicans, they are losing when they attack our healers,” she said. “Our healers have been stranded all over the globe. ”
“USAID has kept the peace in the globe, and now we are going back. I want to be clear that our democracy—and I hope you will agree with me—is on life support. In fact, it is in hospice. I want us to be clear that as Democrats who are coming here and standing in front of you, it is our duty to hold the line,” said Lateefa Simon. “It is our duty to act and not just talk. It is our duty to hold our votes.”
“It is our duty to ensure that this administration does not take us back to an America in 1952, an apartheid America. It is important that we hold the line to accuse these folks of the law that they are breaking,” she added. “We are not colonizers. We are supposed to be a democracy that loves our neighbors. We are supposed to be a democracy that works to heal instead of kill.”
She concluded her remarks with an insane rant about how Republicans view their faith. “I’ve got to tell you one last thing—the Republican Party claims to love a Jesus that loves its neighbor, claims to love God that blesses its people, to heal the sick and to take care of the widow, to take care of the child with no mother, no father,” she concluded. “We honestly must ask this party to reevaluate its own relationship with God. We will move forward.”
Other congressmen chimed in as well. Congressman Jonathan Jackson said, “People ask what can we do? Not only should we text and post and blog, it’s time for us to show up and march and show our disgust at what’s happening in our nation. It is time. And I am so sick and tired. Who elected Elon Musk to anything? It is time for the spirit of Mar-a-Lago, the billionaire bros… [to] go out of here.”
He took particular aim at Elon Musk in his rant. “Elon Musk has not been elected to anything. Elon Musk should not have access to our personal financial records,” Jackson said. “We don’t need people running our government that have not gone through security clearance. That same spirit that Elon Musk has, coming from South Africa, and Peter Thiel coming from South Africa. We’re not going to have apartheid in America.”

He concluded, “Look at how this started. They started with a ban on our books. Then they started with a ban on women’s bodies. Then they started with a ban on our medicine to the poor. Now they started a ban on the aid to those that need it the most.” He added,” Now we’re seeing the most powerful man in the world, Donald J. Trump, … take money and food from the poorest woman and the poorest man on Earth. It is time. It is time that we tell those in Mar-a-Lago, the billionaire bros, it’s time for them to go.”
