    How dare Democrats try to hold me responsible! This is the same as launching racial terrorism against black people! Where is the outrage?

    This instance of Trump acting like a moron or a white supremacist (your choice) got quickly countered by a White House Press statement which read, "The president’s not comparing what’s happened to him to one of the country’s darkest moments."

    But you should go ahead and add this statement to a whole host of instances where Trump exacerbated and empowered white supremacists. Consider:

    * Trump suggested that white nationalist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, was the result of bad actors on both sides.
    * He initially refused to condemn former KKK official David Duke, who endorsed his presidential campaign. (Trump later said he didn't hear the question properly.)
    * He was the most prominent and high-profile advocate of a debunked conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
    * He attacked both NBA star LeBron James and CNN anchor Don Lemon as dumb.
    * During the 2018 campaign, Trump regularly called California Rep. Maxine Water as a "low IQ individual."
    * In a meeting in the Oval Office on immigration, Trump reportedly referred to African immigrants as coming from "s***-hole countries."

    Wow!!!! Trump used every day words and even that offends liberals.

    Your first point was debunked
    Your second point was explained by you and neglects who Clinton's mentor was
    Your third point was started by democrats
    James, Lemon and many other people have said worse things about Trump - that makes them racists, right?
    Your fifth point is selective, Trump has bashed white conservatives.
    Your sixth point, other than being 'reportedly.....' it's factually accurate that other countries are shitholes, why else would libs say their citizens are oppressed and need refugee status to come here?

    And let's not forget, we had an AG with the name Lynch. The horror.

    I have a hard time believing that you actually believe referencing Loretta Lynch's last name and that the word "lynching" is an every day word is a strong defense.

    He suggested and was correct that the violence was due to bad actors on both sides. The white nationalist violence due to the white nationalist and the leftist violence due to the leftist mostly Antifa.

    Why does anyone give DD any credibility AT ALL such that what he says has to be "denounced" in the first place. And the fact his Trump REPEATEDLY denounced him after the left and MSM did give DD that credibility which he then used to raise money.

    Which was not a racial matter but a birthplace matter.

    He's correct so what?

    Clarence Thomas used the word and it was not in reference to an actual lynching. How many more words are we going to remove from our vocabulary because of feelings?

    Let me know when you have a defensive talking point you would like to use for the topic of this thread instead of re-hashing your talking points from the previous instances where Trump explicitly or implicitly exacerbated racial tensions.

    Trump has been condemned by the Democrats.

    I’ve read it, reread it and moved onto a more important things... like what’s tomorrow’s weather in Papua New Guinea be like. :D

    Yes and all the gop senators will get asked about this. Imagine if by casting one vote, they could stop being asked to comment on his latest idiotic rant?

    This tells me the MSM/Democrats are trying to pivot yet again to another way to hate Trump.

    Another transparently bogus attack.

    Why don't you check Kavanaughs year book or Hillarys purse?

    Have you seen the newest GOP commercial about Democrats running the House? I think it’s the Democrats who will be asked about what good have they done over the last 2 years.

    Especially if the economy stays this good :)

    .@Senatemajldr on on President Trump's 'lynching' tweet: "Given the history in our country, I would not compare this to a lynching. That was an unfortunate choice of words."

    The DP keeps running into the inconvenient truth about Democrats lynching Republicans - especially black American Republicans to rig elections and suppress the Republican vote.

    When will they ever learn.

    You knew it was just a matter of time before that PARANOID MORON would cry "lynching".

    Trump? What a Crybaby IMBECILE.

    It is always a mistake for Democrat pols to call attention to DP lynchings.

    They aren't in DC to learn, and certainly not to represent Americans.

    They are there to be played like a fiddle.
