      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Matt Walsh

      All true - Lincoln was even known to tell "darky" jokes in public, complete with dialect - but also incontestibly true that Lincoln's career & even his strategic pandering to racist voter sentiment resulted in immeasurable improvement of the lives of black Americans.https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1151120979348852736 …

      Abraham Lincoln said that black people are inferior to white people, explicitly opposed legal and social equality of the races, and advocated sending them back to Africa. But yeah I guess Trump's tweets are way more racist than that. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1151084310058823680 …

      Also, while Lincoln could be both racially insensitive & pandering on the stump, Frederick Douglass & other black leaders of the day who met with him personally found him to be entirely without racial prejudice in how he treated his fellow Americans.

          Under today's 'woke' ethos, of course, we could have zero tolerance for a politician like Lincoln who always balanced meeting the voters where they were - even frankly racist voters - & working to make the world better according to his principles.

          Douglass was talking about how he treated black people personally. Read the rest of the thread.

          People who complain about things said in the context of 20 years ago have a tendency to forget that Lincoln lived in 1860s, and that 1860 was different than 2019.

          And both this, add the pursuing of policies that improve the lives of minorities, sounds strangely reminiscent of Trump.
