2. When his term is up and he decides to run for another term, I wonder if active duty military members,
retired military members, and military dependents, will vote him out of office.

2. They obviously want to promote a narrative that (deliberately) whitewash Black American history.

3. It's quite obvious that MAGA Republicans/White Nationalist/White Supremacist are all one and the same.

Worse, my friend: they want to normalize it.

'We just continued to fight’: White supremacist ousted from an Oklahoma city council

Connie Vickers was scrolling through a community Facebook page when she saw a photo of a familiar face: Judd Blevins — then a candidate for City Council in her town of Enid, Oklahoma — participating in the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville. She was spurred into action, working with her friend Nancy Presnall. Despite their efforts, Blevins was elected to the city council. Alongside other community members, they formed a group to bring attention to Blevins’s white supremacist ties, called the Enid Social Justice Committee. The group was able to bring about a recall vote, and Blevins was finally voted out of his position. Vickers joins Ali Velshi to discuss the importance of fighting for democracy. “I didn’t know that it would [make a difference] or not,” Vickers said. “We all came together for one reason.”
