Disgusting example of Trump’s racism

Trump is clearly a racist. The media is too cowardly to say so. This is a particularly obvious example.

“Eric Trump and the two Hitler-promoting antisemites have spoken at prior stops together…McKay wrote last year that Eric Trump ‘says his Dad loves what we’re doing.’ The two have had their picture taken with Eric Trump.” https://t.co/fohdAwuqnR

Washington Post cowardice

They referred to Trump’s bigoted remarks about Haley as “racially charged”instead of “racist”. That’s pathetic. Trump is a racist. We have seen this over and over. Remember his attacks on Mexicans on the day he announced he was running for president? The Post is helping Trump by not being accurate about how bad his remarks are.

The media had better ratings when Trump was president. I assume that’s why they are not fully exposing how bad he is. The Post has company.

The phrase “racially charged” has 15 characters plus a space. The word “racist” has only 6 characters. So why would @washingtonpost headline writers choose “racially charged” over “racist”? Other than cowardice, I mean. pic.twitter.com/GlJlrugkYT

“Racially charged” is neither more accurate nor more succinct. It’s less information with more words. https://t.co/XtcsuAQIEu

I guess they’re cool with anti-semitism. The GOP is a haven for bigots.

Your article is about 3 people who have criticized Trump. The great majority of Republicans have said nothing.

Having tracked Fuentes for years, let me note this as a reporter: he is well-known inside the GOP. People can pretend otherwise but professionals who work in the party are highly aware of how his white supremacy and anti-Semitism influences some voters, esp on fringe platforms.

Looking for a single returning or new GOP House member who has condemned Trump for the Fuentes/Ye meeting. Anyone? Rank and file and leadership of course welcome. The wall to wall silence from the incoming majority is speaking volumes.

The GOP won’t renounce Trump’s bigotry

The only conclusion I can draw is that they agree with him. It’s a white nationalist party now.

Trump’s antisemitism (and lack of reaction by the GOP)

Trump is a bigot. The GOP is antisemitic too since they haven’t responded to his terrible rant.

The Republican Jewish Coalition (@RJC) call themselves "a Republican voice in the Jewish community and a voice for American Jews in the GOP." Needless to say, they seem to have had nothing to say in response to this much-noted comment by their master and teacher, Donald J. Trump. pic.twitter.com/BGvG9vVPMO

For the non-Jews out there, I would say that American Jews really aren't crazy about it in general when non-Jews issue warnings or instructions about what we as a group ought to do or need to do. All the more so when it's so clearly a threat. But not just that.

Antisemitism falls from fascist movements like rain drops from the clouds.

The flow of antisemitism from the MAGA fascists was inevitable and inexorable. It is like gravity. It is innate and foundational to any right wing fascist movement built on lies and conspiracy theories.

Trump is unleashing white grievance politics

Just one of the many terrible things Trump has done

The belief that whites are the real victims of bias is absolute bedrock for Trump's GOP coalition: "Among adults nationwide, 22% thought the NFL was doing 'too much' to show respect for Black players. Among Republicans & R-leaning independents, that number shot up to 45%" https://t.co/cqxUtIHLSi
