ANSAS CITY, MO (KCTV) -
Among those who welcomed President Donald Trump to Kansas City were Kansas City Police Chief Rick Smith, Royals Hall of Fame George Brett, Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley and three Kansas City police officers who were recently injured in a shootout.

Missing was Kansas City Mayor Sly James.

When asked by followers on Twitter about why that was the case, James said he was not invited by the president.

"The office of the President has to extend an invitation to meet the flight," James said on Twitter. "No such invitation extended."

1. The Mayor is a black Democrat. QED.

3. Yup. nt

17. Our 'president' is a bigoted SOB.

[cstanleytech]

2. Considering he is both a Democrat and black it is hardly surprising as for

Trump those are two strikes against him.

4. Hmmm. I wonder why...

5. He just saved him the trouble of turning it down.

6. I would be personally honored by the action.

If he met with them he'd have to be deloused afterwards.

18. If it were me, I might actually meet him.

Then as he is shaking my hand and doing that arm pulling bit, getting me in close, I'd say: I just took a dump and didn't wash my hands.

7. It's an honor if Trump doesn't draw you close to his poisonous, nasty embrace, politically.

It has to mean he respects you, won't use you as bathroom tissue as he does the people who suck up to him, hoping political favors and material goodies will fall out of him as though from a piñata.

8. taking pettiness to the extreme

or maybe a move to impress the freakin' base.

[Achilleaze]

10. Racist (R)

It would be something if the republicans were just petty, but it's worse. They are degenerate and racist.

[RVN VET71]

11. Either because of Trump's racism or his White House's incompetence

But I'll pick racism because it fits a broader pattern of this administration, although incompetence is a close second.

12. Sly James is a good guy and a good mayor.

He probably doesn't want any part of Trump.

13. Democrat politickin' while black

not one of Trump's "best people"

[Racerdog1]

14. Who would want to?

Best not to be seen associating with the orange asshole.

15. Well what did he expect? He just was too selfish to be white for just one nite.
