Susan B. Anthony was a pioneer in the women’s rights movement and a hero to women and girls for generations. Well, she was until Tuesday when President Trump issued a posthumous pardon for her and now all liberals hate the woman. Thanks to a heavy dose of Trump Derangement Syndrome, liberals now think Susan B. Anthony is an anti-abortion white supremacist. Turning on your heroes is a small price to pay for resisting the duly-elected President of the United States.
Fox News reports:
President Trump announced Tuesday morning he will give a posthumous pardon to Susan B. Anthony, one of history’s biggest figures in the women’s suffrage movement.
The announcement came 100 years to the day after the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
Anthony, a strong anti-slavery pioneer who died in 1906, had been arrested in 1872 for violating laws that had permitted only men to vote in the presidential election.
She was then indicted, tried and convicted for voting illegally and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and court costs.
Uh oh, Trump did something so cue the liberal outrage. Here’s former Hillary Clinton comms director Jennifer Palmieri with some TDS:
Susan B Anthony’s WHOLE point was to get arrested. She wanted that conviction. https://t.co/a8E16ePogg

A sentiment shared by naked hair-brusher and sexual predator Katie Hill:
Susan B. Anthony did not want to be pardoned. She was very pointed about this. Not until all women had full equality (which we still don’t have).
She said instead she would “urge all women to… the old revolutionary maxim that ‘Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.’”

Trump even pointed out that she never put her name forward for pardon even when she did for other women BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T WANT TO BE.
Unsurprisingly, Trump is putting on a show to pretend he cares about women but doesn’t give a shit about what women really want.

If anyone knows what women want it’s Katie Hill who had sex with her female subordinate.
And a very powerful woman you’ve never heard of also felt this way:
As highest ranking woman elected official in New York and on behalf of Susan B. Anthony’s legacy we demand Trump rescind his pardon.
She was proud of her arrest to draw attention to the cause for women’s rights, and never paid her fine. Let her Rest In Peace, @realDonaldTrump.

Actually, Susan B. Anthony’s point was to get women the right to vote.
And the outrage didn’t stop there. The New York Times accused Trump of playing politics with this pardon:
President Trump said on Tuesday that he would pardon Susan B. Anthony, the women’s suffragist who was arrested after voting illegally in 1872 and fined $100, as he tried to appeal to female voters on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving them the right to vote.
Delivered during a heavily political event at the White House at which Mr. Trump again disparaged mail-in voting ahead of the November election, the president’s announcement also appeared to be an effort to distract from the Democratic National Convention and narrow the historically large gender gap that has him trailing Joseph R. Biden Jr. in the White House race.
The The NYT also pointed out that Susan B. Anthony ain’t all that great:
She is also an increasingly divisive figure, adopted by anti-abortion forces and criticized for relegating Black suffragists to the sidelines. On Tuesday, Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion political group, and Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who represents conservative groups, were in attendance as Mr. Trump made his announcement.
And with that, Susan B. Anthony is cancelled by the left:
It makes sense that Trump would pardon Susan B. Anthony, a white feminist who didn’t mind turning her backs on Black folks, including her supposed friends Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass, to hasten white women’s fight for suffrage.

Susan B. Anthony was a racist. That’s the tweet.

Susan B. Anthony was racist. No wonder trump is pardoning her. They’re kinfolk.

Sure, Susan B. Anthony was a slave abolitionist before she was a suffragette, but yeah, she’s totally racist. If you had “liberals hate Susan B. Anthony” on your TDS bingo card, you just scored.
President Trump needs to use this TDS more to his advantage. If he has liberals screaming that feminist hero SBA is an anti-abortion racist, he could win every single Electoral College vote in November by saying how much he admires Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
