The NAACP announced Monday the group will not invite President Donald Trump to its national convention next month in Charlotte, North Carolina, the first time the prominent civil rights organization has opted to exclude a sitting president in its 116-year history.

NAACP President Derrick Johnson announced the move at an afternoon press conference, accusing Trump of working against its mission.

“This has nothing to do with political party,” Johnson said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance civil rights, and the current president has made clear that his mission is to eliminate civil rights.”

    Attempted diplomacy isn’t the same as being Putin’s cockholster.

    You should have ended at “Not from the USA so don’t know much about the inner political situation”.

      It was cocksucking and nothing more. And next year Putin, being sure that the USA won’t object, attacked Ukraine.

        Woof, you’re really really intellectually dishonest. It was attempted diplomacy that fell apart. Obama sucked ass, but for reasons unrelated to Russia.
