Look, I’m straight white male who leans right on more issues than not, but I have absolutely no problem with any of this. They marched together as a team to the Freedom Center, and made a statement about fighting against racism. Everyone should be on board with that. No matter what their politics are.
Registered Independent, here. Some seem to think racism and denouncing it is political. Being right or left, to me, means different ideas of policy to make America strong and better. Being prejudiced against someone should be thought of as being as un-American, which both parties should be against. Sadly, that isn't reality. Many of those who hate minorities seem to align with the right wing. Then, it is incorrectly believed all right wing people are racists, which is very false. Unfortunately, some feel like they can't even disavow a bunch a people, or they'll lose votes. That's both unfair to them and cop out at the same time.
And for some to say their jobs and paychecks means anything from saying anything. Many come from areas where this is very real to them and they can speak to it. The guy working at the gas station, who grew up in the same neighborhood, doesn't get interviewed on ESPN. It's only because their viewpoint differs that someone calls it invalid. Left and Right wing have current and former athletes and other celebrities on their news channels to give their views. Neither side tells someone to stick to their talent when they are taking about something they believe in.
