Current Champion
for a moment there, for one brief moment in time, Trump showed some moral clarity, even if he lied about saying "he tried to stop it," when he said he did not like his bigoted stooges chanting "send her back" for disagreeing with his policies. but, like a floater rising up from the bottom of the toilet, his true racist nature takes over, his incredibly psychotic ego about having a crowd in the first place, his inability to be a human being for more than a few hours, and he praises these bigots for repeating the crap every racist and bigot in this country now and thru all time has said to people who are not white they disagree with- go back to Africa. or go back to whatever shithole country you came from. how dare you use your first amendment rights like a white person....
One day after he made an unconvincing attempt to distance himself from the racist chants that rang out at his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday night — something his fellow Republicans said they were welcome to see — President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course and defended them.
During an Oval Office event on Friday that was ostensibly to honor Apollo 11 astronauts, Trump cut off a reporter who tried to ask him about his effort to distance himself from the chants, and instead offered a full-throated defense of not only his supporters who made them but also racist tweets he posted last Sunday that incited them.
“You know what I’m unhappy with? I’m unhappy with the fact that a congresswoman can hate our country,” Trump said, alluding to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), one of a group of four congresswomen of color whom he last Sunday admonished on Twitter to “go back” to the countries they came from (Omar is a Somali refugee; the other three women were born in America). “I’m unhappy with the fact that a congresswoman can say anti-Semitic things. I’m unhappy with the fact that a congresswoman — in this case, a different congresswoman — can call our country, and our people, garbage. That’s what I’m unhappy with.” (yeah, that first amendment freedom of speech thing was never intended for black people, even if they did say what he claimed, which they did not)
Trump then turned to defending the people at his rally, who chanted “send her back!” after he viciously attacked Omar using misleading claims like the ones he made on Friday. (For instance, despite what Trump claimed in the Oval Office, none of the congresswomen in question have called America or its people “garbage.”)
“Those people in North Carolina, that stadium was packed,” Trump said. “It was a record crowd and I could’ve filled it 10 times, as you know. Those are incredible people, those are incredible patriots. But I’m unhappy when a congresswoman goes and says, ‘I’m going to be the president’s nightmare.’ She’s going to be the president’s nightmare. She’s lucky to be where she is, let me tell you. And the things she has said are a disgrace to our country.”
