Biting The Bigot Back



Just off the top of our heads, here's sociopathic bigot Donald "Rump" Trump's partial record on racism:

* Declared that the neo-Nazi and KKK tiki torch marchers chanting "Jews will not replace us" in Charlottesville in 2017 to be "very fine people;"

* Paid for a full-page ad in the New York Times and other papers in 1989 calling for the Central Park five to be executed. The four black and one Hispanic men were later exonerated;

* Along with his slumlord father was fined by the Nixon Administration for discrimination against minorities in their housing units;

* Accusing Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who was presiding over his fraud trial for "Trump University," of bias because he was "Mexican." The Judge was born in Indiana to Mexican-American parents;


* Rump's proposed ban on Muslims and his reference to African countries and Haiti as "shithole" countries.

This barely skims the surface. The New York Times has a more robust list of Rump's racism here. More to the point, The Times Of Israel has a timeline record of his anti-Semitism here.

As the Congresswoman says, he's trafficked in hate his entire life. His attempted deflection only puts a spotlight on it, and show's why he'll never learn.

Good for Omar's defense and reply. It's ludicrous for any Republican, especially Trump, to call for her resignation. That's a genuine load o' crap right there. She apologized and can move on as far as I'm concerned. And the rest can pound sand.

donnah -- In Omar's case, offense is the best defense. No Rethuglican has ANY moral authority to lecture Dems on racism / anti-Semitism / misogyny, etc. given their history and their association with the alt-Right.
