A lot more racist than donald trump. I dont feel like you could feel about race like i do and watch that kushner walk around with that beautiful girl. Hail trump. Hail trump. This city is run by jewish communists and Brian Stevenson is a Public Interest lawyer and founder of the equal justice initiative. Mr. Stevenson, thank you for being with us.
