Kamala Chooses Divisiveness, Spiced Up

A rudimentary Google of Penzeys Spices is all it takes to know a couple of things pretty quickly. The owner is a Democrat, which is fine and safe for the candidate. But upon reading further, things go south fast in terms of comportment — something Harris, Democrats, and almost every member of the media enjoy getting worked up when the comportment concerns that of former President Donald Trump.

The owner of Penzeys Spices is really, well, out there, which is not new information. In two successive emails to his customers a few years back, he sent out a “Republicans are Racist” weekend special for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

And for those not on the Penzeys Spices email list, he also posted it on its website to ensure everyone saw it. Days later, he ran another “All Republicans are Racists” special that begged the remaining loyal Penzeys Spices customers — the owner admitted in his Facebook post that the store had lost 40,000 of them — to buy gift cards.

So much for turning the page on divisiveness or a new way forward. It is, however, a good reminder that Donald Trump was the product of a political environment of demonization, not its cause. Or has everyone forgot how Joe Biden claimed to black voters Mitt Romney would "put y'all back in chains," how Harry Reid smeared him as a tax evader, and how Barack Obama campaigned against him as a "vulture capitalist"?
