Anti-Woke Candidate Once Condemned ‘Structural Bigotry’

April 20, 2022 · 10:46 am ET · Leave a Comment

Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate David McCormick (R) has pledged to “fight the woke mob,” but not long ago he once called for “solidarity by denouncing and eradicating structural bigotry,” Vice News reports.

Wrote McCormick on LinkedIn shortly after George Floyd’s murder in May 2020: “Racism and discrimination more broadly thrive not just in overt actions but also in omissions and willful ignorance. Benefiting from a system that quietly discriminates—without acknowledging it and helping to repair it—only propagates that system.”
