Yesterday my republican co-worker did that just so she could say "juneteenth, pff whatever". That is what she considers comedy.
Edit to add: she paused to laugh at that point as if to invite me to share in the joke. She really is that dreary of a person.
These asshats never put themselves in the shoes of those who had to live through the actual context of the event, to comprehend WHY it holds significance. If anything they are proving the NEED for a holiday and remembrance.
