The NAACP announced Monday the group will not invite President Donald Trump to its national convention next month in Charlotte, North Carolina, the first time the prominent civil rights organization has opted to exclude a sitting president in its 116-year history.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced the move at an afternoon press conference, accusing Trump of working against its mission.

“This has nothing to do with political party,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights.”

Fuck The Traitor

[benfranklin1776]

17. Yes 👏🏼

I think l’ll renew my membership early ✊🏼
Such a decision is courageous and much needed by all organizations dedicated to the improvement of individual’s lives and society in order to highlight just how unfit this cretin is to be speaking about any matter involving people’s lives. He will always use such occasions to stage his usual depraved shit show at their expense. He should instead be castigated as the pariah that he is by all decent people and organizations throughout the country he’s devoted to destroying.

[Cha]

19. Yeah, NAACP didn't want to hear it.. heard

that Gibberish.. Not goinna use our Sacred space to Insult Us.

May it be an Important Tread!

💛💙 Mahalo Ben!

6. I'd be surprised if they did invite some who hates diversity and inclusion

The opposite of inclusion is segregation.
Good on the NAACP!

[dweller]

8. Amazing that even Wilson, who was a notorious racist, got invited (though he must have declined)

but not Trump.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

9. I agree with this decision

[Paladin]

10. OUTSTANDING move, NAACP! (nt)

[electric_blue68]

To be excluded? Now that's a statement!!!

[Butterflylady]

13. Good....

[Cha]

20. And Ugly American Racisst.

[Americanme]

14. Good.

He doesn't deserve to be there.

[tulipsandroses]

15. Good. It is not business as usual. In hindsight, no democrat should have attended the inauguration. At the time, I said

President Biden and former presidents should attend. Nope. These are not normal times and we cannot carry on normal activities that include him as if nothing to see here.

[B.See]

23. Agree. Given what he pulled on J6 and

his continued insistence on denying the election, the Biden presidency, and our votes.

Not to mention his own illegitimacy as a candidate.

So good for the NAACP, and hope they stick to their guns re this decision.

(fk this going high bs)

[Joinfortmill]

16. Glad they did this

[Skittles]

18. THANK YOU NAACP

EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP ACTING LIKE THIS "PRESIDENT" IS NORMAL

[democrank]

21. Bullseye, Skittles!

Trump doesn’t even begin to resemble an actual president. He’s a complete disgrace.

[Skittles]

22. HE PLAYS ONE ON TV

AND HE SUCKS AT IT

[Miles Archer]

24. Yeah. Systematically erasing the accomplishments of African Americans everywhere isn't exactly Trump's ticket in.

Besides, he likes guys like Byron Donalds and Tim Scott. Guys who compromise whatever is left of their integrity and dignity to spread the gospel of Trump, JUST KNOWING...REALLY, REALLY KNOWING in their hearts that THEY WILL BECOME HIS VICE PRESIDENT PICK...and here we are, 147 days in, and OOOPS. Neither one became VP. Neither one became anything beyond just two more disgraced Republicans.
