‘MOB’ MENTALITY: Top Dem Says ‘MOB’ Same Term Used by ‘Segregationists’ in 1960s
Democratic philanthropist, activist, and billionaire Tom Steyer weighed-in this week on President Trump’s use of the term “mob” to describe violent anti-GOP activists throughout the country; suggesting similar language was used by “segregationists” in the 1960s.
Steyer was speaking with MSNBC when he was asked to comment on Trump’s use of the term during a recent rally; saying “Listen, this is a line that people have been using to put down broad-based protests since the civil rights movement.”
“This ‘mob’ statement is something that segregationists used to justify strong police actions against completely legal nonviolent protests,” he added. “So I look at this as absolutely another Republican move to try to inflame people, to try to scare people about what is really going on.”
