ideological and political convenience. i also think one of the things people are forgetting to mention and remember is in mccain s final years, he gave a couple of speeches in which he really was very, very kind of harsh, i think appropriately so, about donald trump, steve bannon and their sort of ethnonationalism. i think donald trump knew that happened, felt demeaned by it, and i think he carries grudges. you didn t have to agree with john mccain politically to know he was a classy man and he deserved everything that comes along with being a war hero for what happened during vietnam. and so i just think that, you know, it s you ve got to remember he considered hiv his vietnam. this is donald trump. and he was a pretend soldier at a military economy when john mccain was a real fighter pilot. so this is just a crazy comparison. bone spurs! and i think trump understands it. just go back to the funeral.
he has done it for literally years. and so the real question for me is not house or hole. the question is what are we going to do about it. the chief executive of the united states, the commander in chief has racist ideas about america and this country, and the american people, all 320 million of us, better figure out what the do about it. because if somebody is just some regular person who holds his attitudes, maybe it doesn t make that much of a difference. but this guy is a commander in chief. he controls the largest military economy and surveillance in the world. and so his racism is dangerous to people. and we ve all got to step up and deal with that. i hear you. some are drawing a line about what they want to associate with the president. are you planning to attend the state of the union? you know what? i invited a dreamer to join me. if she still wants to come, i
has a long history of racism. and whether he said shithole or shithouse, he has deprecated people and people of color, people who are muslim people who are mexican. he has done it for literally years. and so the real question for me is not house or hole. the question is what are we going to do about it. the chief executive of the united states, the commander in chief has racist ideas about america and this country, and the american people, all 320 million of us, better figure out what the do about it. because if somebody is just some regular person who holds his attitudes, maybe it doesn t make that much of a difference. but this guy is a commander in chief. he controls the largest military economy and surveillance in the world. and so his racism is dangerous to people. and we ve all got to step up and deal with that.
