Trump is supporting the Confederate flag, too. He’s a racist. No question about it. Sad!
1. Bubba Wallace, NASCAR’s only black driver, wasn’t the one who found and reported the pull rope that was tied like a noose.

2. The capitalized “Flag” he’s referring to here is the Confederate flag. https://t.co/CU263H7Z6g
Trump on Saturday: “We will not allow anyone to divide our citizens by race or background. We will not allow them to foment hate, discord and distrust. We will hold fast and true to the sacred loyalties that link us all as neighbors, as Americans and as patriots.” https://t.co/tNsCpWA0IA

How much of Trump's open embrace of the Confederacy right now is about ensuring the country remains ungovernable after he loses badly?

The president's attack on Bubba Wallace and his defense of the confederate flag were an overt display aimed at his white base of supporters, after a weekend during which he stuck to the script at his official events and broadly described "history" https://t.co/XyUjjF3LOo

He called for the execution of teen boys falsely accused of raping a woman in Central Park. He put immigrants in cages. He sexually harassed and assaulted women. His racist rhetoric killed people in El Paso and Charlottesville.

He doesn’t get to demand apologies. https://t.co/dLIhnI7JbX
Trump reminds the world daily that he is a racist running on racist positions employing racist rhetoric counting on the support of racists. Nothing is more core to who he is or to his campaign. If you support Trump, you support racism and if you support racism, you're a racist. https://t.co/A4rcS2uE23

President Trump on Monday continued to inflame racial tensions by panning NASCAR’s decision to ban the Confederate flag from its races and demanding the sport’s top Black driver apologize after a noose was found in his garage https://t.co/d7A1vy2NaE

Seriously if Trump had given up on re-election and was mainly interested in cultivating a small but fanatical group of marks to make money off of in the future…how would he be acting differently? https://t.co/bhuJvSf3yN

Analysis: It’s not that Trump doesn’t want to tackle racism. It’s just that he’s focused on perceived racism against whites. https://t.co/XUqlkdeB4q
