Wallace, NASCAR Respond To Trump


Yesterday we noted the tweet from distracter- in- chief and Imperial Wizard Donald "Rump" Trump calling on NASCAR's only African- American driver Bubba Wallace to apologize for being concerned about the hangman's noose found in his garage at Talladega raceway;  he also took a swipe at NASCAR's decision to ban the treason flag from its events and promotions.

Ever anxious to change the subject when the heat from another of his epic bungles gets too much =cough= coronavirus spikes= cough= Russian bounties on American troops= cough=, this distraction conveniently plays into the narcissistic nihilist's desire to stoke a race and culture war in order to boost his abysmal approval and re- election poll numbers.  That has the stench of desperation and defeat all over it.

Both Wallace and NASCAR responded to the asshole's swipe.

Bubba Wallace (addressing "the next generation and little ones following my foot steps"):


 

NASCAR:
“We are proud to have Bubba Wallace in the NASCAR family and we commend his courage and leadership. NASCAR continues to stand tall with Bubba, our competitors and everyone who makes our sport welcoming and inclusive for all racing fans.”
Beyond that, on NASCAR's web page at the link above, they strongly refuted the claims made in the asshole's tweet and reaffirmed their decision to ban the treason flag.  It just might be a new day, folks.

Again and again we have seen Trump attempt to drag people down, to challenge their integrity, to damage their names and reputations. He is unfit to be president and yet he tries to make us believe that he has the right to attack those who speak out against him. He's despicable.

And yet those who are insulted by him, those who are the targets of his hate, stand up like Bubba Wallace did, with dignity, reproach, and scorn. trump represents the worst of the worst, and Wallace represents the best of the best.

donnah -- you are so right. Whenever this happens, it just points out the vast contrast between a small "thing" like Trump and the person(s) he's trying to pull down to his gutter level.
