I mean, people have been celebrating Juneteenth ever since it occurred. The first recorded celebration of Juneteenth was on the 1 year anniversary of the occurrence. The Democrats didn't invent this holiday, they just chose to acknowledge it as a federal holiday. 

Everything in politics is done to "gain political points." Republicans cut taxes to get votes, Democrats implement social programs to get votes, Republicans claim the election was stolen to get votes, Democrats push corporate progressivism to get votes.

That's literally what politics is.

I'm just glad that Juneteenth has become a widely celebrated holiday in America now, as opposed to what it had been for over 150 years, which was a holiday that non-black Americans had never even heard of, let alone celebrated. I think that's a fantastic sign for America growing together over time.

That's what I celebrated yesterday.
