And, perhaps, a sign of growing Democratic Party desperation.

Republican Presidential candidate Jeb Bush, on a campaign stop in South Carolina last week, said this to his black audience:

Our message is one of hope and aspiration. It isn’t one of division and get in line and we’ll take care of you with free stuff. Our message is one that is uplifting and says, “You can achieve earned success. We’re on your side.”

There are few things that terrify Progressives and Democrats more than those trapped into dependency on Progressive Government escaping the trap and being able to do for themselves, without those Progressives doing for them—and collecting personal political power in the process.

So: when a Republican comes along and says he can help those trapped and want out a way out, Democrats come out of the woodwork with their distortions.

You can achieve earned success. We’re on your side. How does that get distorted in to “black folks all want free stuff?” Only a Democrat can follow that pseudo-logic.
