supremacist backers, reaching him on the golf course, chris christie employed trump to quickly issue a strong statement. trump was heard assuring chris christie that he would get to it, but it didn t have to happen too quickly. a lot of these people vote, trump said. and ended the call. over the weekend, trump made a racist attack, as you know, against his former cabinet member, calling her coco chao. are we going to see more of this? he s leaning into it pretty aggressively. he has been much more since he left office. he was doing things like this in office, as we know. he seems to be leaning into racist statements, there was also a veiled threat against mitch mcconnell, not so veiled in that social media posts where he says mcconnell has a death wish. his backers would say no, he meant political. there is no justification for doing something like that after january 6th, 2021, because it is very clear the impact that his words had on his supporters. so i do think that we are seeing
that has always been the problem. there can be just a few people standing up there speaking the truth. a leader with no followers is just a guy taking a walk, and there are too many who are just taking a walk. we need critical mass. they ve never had. and how hard it is to call out the violence. i mean, steve scalise was nearly killed. gap givens, i mean, these numbers, since i left, there were plenty of members now who had a security detail, capital sullied police security detail, protecting them when they re not around the capitol. so, to go out and say that mcconnell has a death wish, that is sending a signal. of course, the attack on his wife is just hideous, and that is very easy for anyone to condemn. this is a horrible thing. in so many ways, he s gone after muslims, he s gone after hispanics, he is gone after all sorts of people, you know, all sorts of racially and ethnically incendiary inflammatory comments. and this is just one more. i mean, offensive remarks. why aren t we
anymore. people went on twitter, they express their outrage. are we really surprised that donald trump said this? this is not the bottom for him. it is not the bottom. am i surprised? yeah. i am surprised he said it. i am just wondering how long before he says the n-word publicly. that s my question to people. if he can get away with saying coco chao for the top, mitch mcconnell is like the number one republican. he s like the most important republican in the country. other than trump. absolutely. and to attack his wife like that. i just don t know why people can t it is easy to condemn. this is why it is so infuriating. because it is an attack on one of, us is an attack on us all. for someone to say that about an asian person, you must be outraged if you are someone who has a conscience. if someone says something derogatory but a woman, about a black person, about an asian person, a jewish person, then
anymore. i mean, people, went on twitter and express express their outrage. but i would be really surprised that donald trump said this. this is not the bottom for him. this is not the bottom. am i surprised? yeah. i m surprised. i was like, how long before he says the n-word, publicly? that s my question. how long before he does that. if you can get away with saying coco chao for the top, mitch mcconnell is like the number one republican, isn t that right? he s the most supported republican in the country. john? absolutely. and to attack his wife like that, i mean, i just don t know why people this is why it s so infuriating. because an attack on one of us is an attack on assault assault us all. for someone to say that about an asian person, you must be outraged, if you are someone, right? who has a conscience. if someone says something doug watery about a woman, about a black person, about an asian
nobody asked him about it to directly. that could be played as rick scott as just a painfully unconvincing political performance. and trying to generalize it into something. i mean, it s. can i say they are scared of him but also, donald trump is doing what his followers sent him to do. they want him to say that things that other people are quote unquote afraid to say or won t say anymore in the so-called politically correct environment. you say to say, coco chao? i believe that when they hear that they say, look he isn t afraid. he is going to say it how it really is. he is calling out, mitch mcconnell in a way that should have happened a long time ago. and they justify a because this is about power. this is about maintaining power. i really believe that as charlie said, this is just a long line of insults that have become so normalized that we almost don t even notice
