Why Trump hasn’t spoken or tweeted about the Waffle House murders

An excellent opinion column that states:

“The explanation for Trump’s relative silence is obvious. Trump, his advisers, his political party and their media allies have thrived on their contempt for the humanity, dignity, and freedom of black and brown people. Honoring a black man for stopping an armed white man during what may have been a racially motivated killing spree runs counter to Donald Trump’s political worldview and personal morality.”

Sad!

 

Poll on the news media

Washington Post analysis

51% of Republicans think the news media is the enemy of the people.  Scary.  Sad!

 

Trump is a hypocrite about the Fifth Amendment

Trump lawyer Cohen will take the Fifth Amendment on the Stormy Daniels case.

In the past, Trump was critical of people who used the Fifth Amendment.

The article notes:

““The mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said at one campaign rally in September 2017. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”

He was largely targeting former staffers for Hillary Clinton who pleaded the Fifth during the investigation into her use of a private email server while she was secretary of State.”

The Washington Post and other media outlets point out that Trump himself has used the Fifth Amendment.

Sad!
