He has no idea what just hit him.
Journalist Lara Logan has recently put Rep. Steven Cohen in his place after he stated that “white male National Guard troops in particular could pose a threat to President-elect Joe Biden’s life.”
Cohen had stated, “You know, I was thinking, the [National] Guard is 90 some odd percent I believe male, only about 20 percent of white males voted for Biden. You got to figure that in the Guard which is predominately more conservative, that I see that on my social media and we know it. There’s probably not more than 25 percent of the people that are there protecting us who voted for Biden. The other 75 percent are in the class that would be the large class of folks who might want to do something. And there were military people and police who took oaths to defend the Constitution and to protect and defend who didn’t do it, who were in the insurrection. So, it does concern me …”
Logan’s reply to his statement was: “I was a journalist on the battlefields of Iraq & Afghanistan for more than a decade. I watched many of these ‘white men’ die there, right beside black, Hispanic & Asian men & women of every color. None of them cared about race – just each other & this country. Shame on all of you.”
To all those giddy with glee in the mad rush to condemn the “white men” of the Nat Guard as “domestic terrorists” remember this: it isn’t yet a crime to be white or a man.
70+ % the U.S. population is white. They’ve bled & died for you along with all races, united without hate.— Lara Logan (@laralogan) January 19, 2021
