🚨 EXC - I've unearthed footage from 2021 where the judge blocking the Trump spending freeze accuses Trump of being a "tyrant," claims racism is a "white people problem," and insists transgenders need special sentencing privileges.
This is an activist not a judge.
Watch ⬇️🧵
Judge John McConnell Jr. says as a "middle class, white male privileged person" he needs to "understand" criminals who are "women, black, or transgender" and that the "law applies to them where they are."
Judge McConnell equates President Trump's first four years to the damage inflicted by the Civil War and Jim Crow laws.
He also compares President Trump a "tyrant."
Judge McConnell insists that it's okay for judges to let personal opinions influence their decisions.
"I have opinions about a lot of things..."
(He was on the Finance Committee for a Hillary Clinton Campaign, 6-figure dem donor, and Planned Parenthood Board member.)
Judge McConnell also established a Diversity, Inclusion, and Racial Justice Committee in his court.
He insists that "racism is a white people problem" and that white people need to "figure it out" and do the "hard work" to fix it.
Judge McConnell then lamented that his Court was a bad example because it was "too white."
He admits to exclusively hiring black people solely because they were "people of color."
Judge McConnell also claims that "we all have racism inside of us."
Judge McConnell then dunks on President Trump for not hiring enough racially diverse judges.
This is an activist.
Not a judge.

🚨 Why are researchers from Chinese Communist Party-run institutions advising the Fed?
Researchers from communist institutions with histories of espionage are listed as co-authors on papers with Fed employees.
Are taxpayers subsidizing this?
A paper presented as part of the Fed’s 2020 Finance and Economics Discussion Series was co-authored by John Rogers and Wenbin Wu.
Rogers was ultimately indicated for spying on behalf of China.
A 2016 paper featuring Fed Governor Justin Pierce - “Does Trade Liberalization with China Influence U.S.
Elections?” - included a researcher from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
This CCP university was flagged by the Senate for espionage against the US.
Kim Kardashian attacked the LA ICE raids on Instagram Tuesday, but in 2019 the Kardashian family issued a statement praising ICE after it deported Kendall Jenner’s stalker to Canada.
⬇️⬇️⬇️
In 2019, ICE El Paso deported a Canadian who stalked Kendall Jenner. The Kardashians lauded ICE and LAPD’s “swift response and professionalism,” saying it restored their “peace of mind.” But now, as ICE deports criminal invaders harming everyday American families, Kim has decided it’s time to hop on the sanctimonious celebrity bandwagon criticizing the agency.
In addition to flipping her stance on ICE deportations in the statement, Kim – best known for her Instagram mirror selfies and 2003 s*x tape with “F*ck Them H*es” artist Ray J – described illegal alien criminals as her “neighbors.”
Unfortunately, unlike Kim, most of us do not live in a $60 million Calabasas mansion with a survival bunker and 24/7-armed security.
NPR recently added a pop-up message on their website asking: “What would you do in a world without the NPR Network?”
Here is some of the hard-hitting reporting NPR thinks you can’t live without ⬇️
A discussion of “genderqueer dinosaur enthusiasts” and the “trans-ceratops.”
A Valentine’s Day feature regarding “queer animals” that suggests the make-believe clownfish in Finding Nemo would’ve been better off as a female, that “banana slugs are hermaphrodites,” and that “some deer are nonbinary.”
Meet some of the illegal alien murderers, pedophiles, and violent thugs that Biden-appointed Judge Brian Murphy is furious over deporting.
