Democrats are at it again, twisting President Trump’s words into some deranged conspiracy theory about “racism” that exists only in their heads.
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) launched a bizarre smear campaign this week, accusing Trump of using the phrase “Liberation Day” as a hidden dog whistle for “white power.”
In a post, McIver claimed:
“When Trump opens his mouth to say ‘it’s liberation day’ he’s really screaming out White Power! Modern day racism!”
When Trump opens his mouth to say “it’s liberation day” he’s really screaming out White Power!
Modern day racism!

That wasn’t enough for her. She doubled down during an interview, ranting:
“When he says, ‘Oh, it’s Liberation Day and all of these things, those are ways of him saying, Oh, it’s white power. It’s what I want to do.’ Those are racist remarks. His number one targets are cities that are led by black mayors. His number one targets are cities, our sanctuary cities that support immigration.”

This is the tired playbook of the Democrat Party: if you can’t beat Trump on results, booming jobs, energy independence, securing the border, peace deals abroad, simply scream “racist” at the top of your lungs.
McIver’s unhinged smear also exposes her hypocrisy. The same phrase she’s accusing Trump of weaponizing, “Liberation Day,” has been used by none other than far-left California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom.
Newsom declared “Liberation Day” in a desperate bid to intimidate President Donald Trump and Republican-led states.
Newsom wrote in all caps:
“WOW! [TODAY] HISTORY WILL BE MADE. KaroLYIN LEAVITT WILL HAVE NO ANSWERS FOR THE SUPPOSED “FAKE MEDIA” ABOUT CALIFORNIA’S BEAUTIFUL MAPS. PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY ARE THE GREATEST MAPS EVER CREATED — EVEN BETTER THAN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS’. DONALD “THE FAILURE” TRUMP BE WARNED, TOMORROW MAY BE THE WORST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. ALL BECAUSE YOU “MISSED THE DEADLINE.” LIBERATION DAY FOR AMERICA!!!”
WOW! TOMORROW HISTORY WILL BE MADE. KaroLYIN LEAVITT WILL HAVE NO ANSWERS FOR THE SUPPOSED “FAKE MEDIA” ABOUT CALIFORNIA’S BEAUTIFUL MAPS. PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY ARE THE GREATEST MAPS EVER CREATED — EVEN BETTER THAN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS’. DONALD “THE FAILURE” TRUMP BE WARNED,…

Newsom even mocked Trump, sneeringly dubbing him “Donald ‘Taco’ Trump.”
“AS MANY KNOW, DONALD “TACO” TRUMP — AUTHOR OF THE ART OF THE “DEAL” (A BOOK HE SHOULD RETURN TO THE LIBRARY) — JUST MISSED THE BEST DEAL IN HISTORY. HE ALWAYS “CHICKENS OUT” (TARIFFS, CHINA) — BUT EVEN A “CHICKEN” SHOULD KNOW A GOOD “DEAL” WHEN HE SEES ONE. I, YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER NEWSOM, OFFERED THE BEST, MOST “AMAZING DEAL” IN HISTORY: STOP RIGGING TEXAS MAPS AND CALIFORNIA WON’T MAKE OURS MORE “BEAUTIFUL.” SADLY — BUT NO SURPRISE — DONALD WAS TOO WEAK (LITTLE HANDS) TO EVEN WRITE ME BACK. NO DEAL! AND NO DEAL = PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL MAPS THAT WILL “END” HIS PRESIDENCY. SOON HE WILL NOT BE “47.” PATRIOTS WILL TAKE BACK CONGRESS. MANY SAY I SHOULD RUN FOR SPEAKER (I WON’T!!!). MAKE THE MAPS GREAT AGAIN! LIBERATION DAY TOMORROW!!! THANK YOU! — GCN”
