    “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.…” - Sen. Tim Scott

    Really Tim, more racist then “Fine People on both sides”, more racist then “They’re eating dogs”? Say something is the most racist thing out of the White House is saying a lot.

    And honestly Trumps the most racist president since Woodrow Wilson.

      He told congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from, even though they were born in the USA.

      He mocked a disabled reporter.

      He bragged on tape about sexual assault, saying it was “just locker room talk”.

      He is separating migrant children from their families.

      He called immigrants criminals and rapists who eat people’s pets.

      He constntly insults women and calls them pigs, dogs, slobs, disgusting.

      He dismissed the accusation of sexual harassment by saying the women were too ugly to have sex with.

      He posted a video depicting the Obamas as monkeys. <-- THIS ONE IS TOTALLY FAKE NEWS GUYS HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT

    A White House staffer erroneously made the post

    I hate it when I erroneously gather source material, produce a video, export it for web, and post it to social media. They must have just hit the wrong button.

    This is the same shit they’ve always done. They’re testing the waters to see what they can get away with. They’ll get there, but this was a little too soon. Give it a few more months.

      They are playing this like a game of Sports. Keep pressuring the opponent, watch for weaknesses in the defense, hope to find an opening or just get lucky.

      Democracy takes constant vigilance and effort to uphold. Fascism needs to succeed only once.
