Has North Texas Forgotten About The Monstrous Acts Of Beth Van Duyne?

Ignorance or indifference? Have the monstrosities of Beth Van Duyne been overlooked, or have we all become numb to the extremists in our lives?

Today on Twitter, Representative Salman Bhojani posted that he was co-hosting a job fair with Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne. Bhojani is one of the two Democratic reps in my town, Arlington. I greatly respect him, but I didn’t understand why he would co-host an event with Van Duyne, knowing her past. Assuming he was unaware of her long history of anti-Muslim activity, I responded to his post, warning him.

Then, I headed over to Van Duyne’s feed to learn more about this so-called job fair, and it turns out it’s her thing, and a ton of politicians are supporting/co-hosting along with her. I’m going down her Twitter list of the elected officials participating… Ted Cruz, Kay Granger, and Michael Burgess… all right-wing fascists. No surprise there. But then I see our love, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

Obviously, she would never be a willing participant in an event with Van Duyne, one of the Republicans who voted to overturn the election on January 6. Would she?

I kept scrolling… more Democrats.

Did all of these Democrats forget about the monstrous acts of Van Duyne? Were they unaware of them? Did they feel that participating in the job fair was better for them politically?

to push how Biden’s infrastructure bill is why there are so many jobs. You know Van Duyne isn’t going to say a word about that.
