Kansas City mayor accuses governor of racial 'dog whistle' for calling Super Bowl parade shooters 'thugs'
2024-02-19
[FoxNews] Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas says he sees racial dog whistles 'time and again'.
As ‘tis said, if you’re the only one who can hear the dog whistle, perhaps you’re the dog.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas accused Missouri Gov. Mike Parson of using a racial "dog whistle" when referring to the suspected shooters at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade as "thugs."

Lucas made the comment during an appearance on local radio show "Up to Date" on Friday. He told KCUR host Steve Kraske that he has seen similar incidents of alleged racism "time and again."

Following the shooting, Parson had said, "We can't let some thugs just take over and ruin what happened."

"I have respect for the governor. We get along well," Lucas told Kraske. "I disagree strongly with how he would describe that situation. I certainly do think this was criminal activity. It was lawlessness, and I think that that's troubling. But ‘thugs’ is a dog whistle in the most classic sense."
