Tupac’s family calls Trump campaign “disrespectful” for teasing Kamala Harris at debate

Mopreme Shakur, the late Tupac’s step brother, expressed his dismay regarding the use of the rapper’s name by the Trump campaign, with the objective of making fun of Kamala Harris and the statement she made earlier, during the Vice President debate earlier this week. Shakur stated that using his brother as a prop to make fun of Harris was “clearly disrespectful” to his family.

To tease Harris, Trump’s campaign set aside one ticket for Tupac at the debate on Wednesday (Oct. 8), as she erroneously called Tupac the “greatest rapper alive” in a previous interview. Shakur said he wasn’t surprised by the move as “we should know Trump’s lack of respect for the Black and brown community.”

While he revealed that he does not expect an apology, he stated that the President can make it up to his family by releasing his father, Tupac’s stepfather, from prison. In 1988, his father, Mutulu, was sentenced to 60 years for RICO conspiracy, armed bank robbery and bank robbery killings, and has been denied parole eight times.

On the day of the debate, a journalist tweeted that the campaign stated that they were leaving a ticket for the rapper during a press call. “The Trump campaign is leaving a ticket for Tupac Shakur at tonight’s VP debate because Kamala Harris called him her favorite rapper alive,” she tweeted. “(This is not a joke and was confirmed by Trump campaign senior adviser @JasonMillerinDC on a press call).”

White House and national political correspondent for RealClearPolitics, Susan Crabtree Hennebury, spoke about this news as well, by tweeting words from Jason Miller. “We have left a ticket for Tupac Shakur, Sen. Harris’ favorite rapper alive…,” the tweet read. “I’m personally more of a Biggie fan if he’s still alive, b[ut] we will have a ticket for Tupac.”

Shakur supported Harris, even after her slip up, and he pushed everyone to cast a vote in the presidential elections to be held in November.

Naval officer turns out to be the first Black female tactical jet fighter pilot

Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle is scheduled to get her “Wings of Gold” on July 31.

U.S. Naval force Lieutenant J.G. Madeline Swegle is leaving a mark on the world in the part of the administration as its Black female tactical fighter jet pilot.

Swegle completed her undergraduate Tactical Air (Strike) pilot training syllabus on Tuesday (July 7). She is expected to receive her “Wings of Gold” during a ceremony on July 31.

Swegle will currently have the option to fly airplanes like the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter, the Navy Times reports.

The Burkes, Virginia local graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2017. She is presently doled out to the Redhawks of Training Squadron 21 in Kingsville, Texas, directly outside Corpus Cristi, and is the place her “Wings of Gold” ceremony is relied upon to occur.

The naval force pilot has gotten high recognition and congrats from her kindred Navy friends as well as rapper Eve, Senator Kamala Harris, tennis legend Billie Jean King, and famed D.L. Hughley, among others.

Swegle follows the memorable strides of Lieutenant Commander Brenda Robinson, the primary Black female to move on from the Navy’s Aviation Officer Candidate School. Robinson earned her wings in 1980 at the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi. She became the first Black woman certified for C-1A carrier onboard delivery carrier landings on USS America, one of three Kitty Hawk-class supercarriers built for the Navy. Robinson was also the Navy’s first Black female flight instructor and evaluator.

Swegle’s achievement additionally comes 45 years after the late Captain Rosemary B. Sailor turned into the first lady to get the “Wings of Gold” emblem in 1974. Mariner was also the first woman to command an operational naval aviation squadron during the Desert Storm Operation.
