Just last week, it was reported that a liberal think tank advised Democrats to stop using certain ‘woke’ words and expressions if they want to start being competitive again.
The folks at the DNC summer meeting this week have proved that the task will be easier said than done. They opened the meeting with a land acknowledgement that claimed Minneapolis is built on stolen land.
FOX News reports:
WATCH: DNC opens summer meeting with land acknowledgment, claims that US suppresses indigenous historyThe Democratic National Committee kicked off its annual summer meeting in Minneapolis with a “land acknowledgment” that included an assertion that the U.S. perpetuates a system of suppression.”Let’s talk about the land for a second,” said Lindy Sowmick, treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) and self-described “Indigenous queer woman,” after DNC Chairman Ken Martin introduced her to recite the acknowledgment.”The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate – the Dakota people – who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis,” Sowmick continued. “The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes and the Wakpa Tanka – the ‘Great River,’ the Mississippi River – for thousands of years before colonization. This land was not claimed, or traded – it’s a part of a history of broken treaties and promises. And, in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress Indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual history.”Sowmick encouraged members of the Democratic Party to see the “land acknowledgment” as more than just “the checking of a box.””As Democrats, I ask of every one of you to not allow land acknowledgments like these to simply be the checking of a box – be curious, ask questions, ensure our native neighbors are heard and work in partnership with your Indigenous communities,” Sowmick urged the crowd Monday. “Honor the legacy of this land and its people by engaging today with each other with honesty, humility, respect and compassion.”
You’ll notice that no one at this meeting thought to give the land back, because this is nothing more than virtue signaling.
Watch:
In another moment, attendees cheered for ‘gender affirming care’ for minors.
And they were told that carjackings are not important to many Americans.
Tim Walz also made an appearance.
It really looks like this party has learned nothing since the 2024 election.
