When a white Republican wins on a platform of "God, guns and babies" determined by his strong Christian beliefs, pro-second amendment and pro-life views and opposition to affirmative action he can expect to be attacked as a white supremacist. When he's a 19 year old college student who happens to be black he's the target of racist attacks by the Dems, those lovers of tolerance and diversity.
Introduce yourself to Caleb Hanna. The newly elected State Representative in the West Virginia legislature. He's a churchgoer who has strong family values and humility. Exactly the same characteristics that are lacking into today's crop of celebrity seeking young Democrats. But we likely won't see his face in the mainstream media. A young black man who doesn't fit the mold of racial grievance so common on the left.
Trump voters had no problem voting for a young black man. Racist attacks came from the left! |
Initially inspired by Obama's success, he soured quickly as he noted “I felt Obama’s policies were bad for West Virginia.”
Read his story in the Charleston Gazette-Mail. An excerpt follows:
Hanna is a fresh face and a rising star in the GOP, which is strange when you consider that it was Barack Obama who was his inspiration.Caleb attends West Virginia State University, an all black college and was successful in registering 100% of his classmates to vote. A new crop of black Republicans. Naturally, that made him a target:
“I first got interested in politics in the third grade,” he said. “Here was this charismatic black man who rose to be president of the United States. I thought, ‘I can do that.’”
But President Obama’s policies did not sit well with the son of a coal miner.
“My dad got laid off in the mines,” he said. “I felt Obama’s policies were bad for West Virginia.”
So when it came time for Hanna to register to vote, he was a Republican.
“God, guns and babies,” he said. “That pretty much sums up my political philosophy.”
His faith informs much of his worldview. He was an active member of the Christian organization YoungLife at Richwood High School. He is also a member of the Little Laurel Baptist. His girlfriend, a freshman at WVU, is the daughter of a pastor at another church.
Hanna is a firm defender of Second Amendment rights and the rights of the unborn. The Democrats, at least on the national level, did not reflect those values for him.
Hanna bristled at the suggestion that the Republican Party is characterized by some as racist. “There’s room for everyone in the GOP,” he said.
He is keenly aware, however, that racism is still a problem. He believes he was the target of racist attacks during his campaign. Flyers containing virulent racist claims, which were enclosed in a ziplock bag filled with birdseed, were tossed into the yards of several homes that had his campaign signs.
“I reported it to the sheriff only because I was concerned about the safety of my supporters,” Hanna said.
Unlike today's celebrity Democrats, Caleb is still living in his dorm room while he juggles school and duties at the state legislature. He's a model for millions of young black men and women who saw firsthand how empty the promises of Obama and the Democrats were for black Americans. They are no longer on the plantation and that might explain why Democrats are so desperate to import millions of illiterate illegal aliens to take their place!
