Calling a black NFL player a “wild animal.” Calling a Latina Health Commissioner a “bitch.” Calling an openly LGBTQ Afro-Latino a “first-class whore.” There is NOTHING benevolent about the bigotry of the @SBANYPD. Ed Mullins must resign. pic.twitter.com/CoTgKrq8C8

Everyone should remember that the SBA qoute tweeted Trump asking him to “Send in the Feds”.
Its leader Ed Mullins has met Trump on several occasions, and has a history of emailing racist videos to union members.
The SBA needs to be disbanded. https://t.co/KhoNwYDj1m pic.twitter.com/GSfOWuFNaJ— SoSAmericaNow?️ (@SoSAmericaNow) February 11, 2021
