is a fair estimation of his attitude toward any criticism when it comes to actions and rhetoric involving people who aren t white. that s when he tells four congresswomen of color to quote go back to where they came from even though they are americans and three are from the united states. that he says isn t racist. call the black majority district of baltimore call it a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess isn t racist and and fans flames for birthism. attacks the judge for trump university over mexican heritage and says he can t be unbias or takes out newspaper ads for five black youths wrongly convicted of rape and not apologize for doing so, none of that is racist according to the president or what about the invasion from mexico? this is an invasion. when you see these caravans starting out with 20,000 people, that s an invasion.
misconduct. it s right on the money because it s something people on the left and right would completely agree with for totally opposite reasons. but it also fits the world view of this president when it comes to facts inconsistent with the image he wants you to see. just remember, what you re seeing and what you re reading is not what s happening. that was the president a year ago on criticisms of his handling of the economy but it is a fair estimation of his attitude toward any criticism when it comes to actions and rhetoric involving people who aren t white. that s when he tells four congresswomen of color to quote go back to where they came from even though they are americans and three are from the united states. that he says isn t racist. call the black majority district of baltimore call it a disgusting rat and rodent infested mess isn t racist and attacks the judge for trump university over mexican heritage and says he can t be unbias or
there is very little room between what we see in islamic jihad radicalization to violence and what we re seeing on white supremacy, white nationalism call to action. they re aligning with a leader, a kind of father figure who is giving them license. now there is a distinction. president trump, to be clear has never called for direct violent action. but understand that unstable people don t make that distinction. it s lost on them. so they re feeling encouraged by it. and the president s press conference yesterday didn t go far enough to say that he personally condemns that ideology. so the radicalization process has not been disrupted. and unfortunately, we may see more violence unless this inciter in chief comes out and says i need you to stop this. cynthia, what cause as white supremacist to be a white supremacist to the extent of believing they re going to take action, violent action to make the country ethnic cleansing, whatever you re going to call it, these people are killing
but he doesn t seem to feel that way about these four democratic women of color. wes? sure. i think when you understand the president s comments and the context of american history and the way that these types of not just chant, but this precise argument that if people of color aren t grateful for being here and if they re not glad that you got to come to america, that we re letting you in now and you have these rights then you should go somewhere else. it speaks to this historical grapple over who gets to be an american, who has full citizenship and you have to remember we re a nation where it s been 50 or 60 votes would even get to vote in our election or people like you get to vote in our elections. this isn t a country that has fully enfranchised all its people and that for generations there has been an ideology that says people who are different, and people who aren t white should just be grateful to be here and they shouldn t complain. they shouldn t complain about the police
loses. for time, i got to get everyone in. we have a lot of ground to cover. sorry. what did you think, mayor? i mean, unfortunately, not surprised by the president. he has decided that the way he is going to go about this re-election campaign is to run white and to basically otherwiseize the rest of americans. if you aren t white, then you re less american, then you hate the country. if you re a democrat and not a republican, then you re against the american way. this is trump being quintessential trump, which is he s, quite frankly, going to the gutter and he thinks that his base is going to reward him with re-election, and i just hope that they prove him wrong this next cycle. tim, you know, the house speaker nancy pelosi wants to do this resolution condemning trump s tweets, vote on a resolution. this is an up-or-down vote. i m wondering it s going to put republicans on the record condemning the president s racism. do you think that they ll stand up on the record agains
