The NAACP has decided not to invite President Donald Trump to its upcoming national convention, marking the first time in its 116-year history that a sitting president will be excluded. The organization, led by Derrick Johnson, criticized Trump's actions as unconstitutional and damaging to American democracy. The convention, themed "The Fierce Urgency of Now," will address the significant political divisions affecting civil rights. The NAACP's decision continues a pattern of conflict with the Trump administration, which has faced accusations of undermining civil rights and constitutional principles.
The president has signed unconstitutional executive orders to oppress voters and undo federal civil rights protections; he has illegally turned the military on our communities.
There is a rich history of both Republicans and Democrats attending our convention - from Harry S. Truman to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and beyond.
The NAACP isn't advancing anything but hate and division, while the President is focused on uniting our country, improving our economy.
This administration does not respect the Constitution or the rule of law.
