sorry, mr. president, you re on the hook to pay for any clean up here yourself. your company has to pay, mr. president, you had? that s a loutsy position to put these folks in south carolina in, these are mid-ranking government officials, people in charge of enforcing these state regulations, they re being asked to make a decision on the financial bottom line of the sitting president of 2 united states should we be doing this to people? we ve never done this to them before. but that s what we re doing now. last night south carolina made their call. they said no to the president. the state will not be granting his application to have the taxpayers on the hook for the environmental cleanup. they did not buy the president s argue. there s no relationship whatsoever between the president and his namesake son and that means the president s company will be responsible for any cleanup costs at that site instead of the taxpayers. now, we contacted the president s lawyer to ask for a reaction t
these days. as if they re very concerned as a party with how they re viewed by african-americans and other minorities and women. i mean, it s not an accident, right? this stuff is happening on purpose. these aren t dumb people. they re doing what they re doing deliberately. the president just nominated the whitest, malest cabinet since reagan. this was the bennetton tableau while the president signed his first abortion restrictions. senate republicans just introduced new legislation to cut in half legal immigration to this country. not illegal immigration, legal immigration, and they really did use an anti-abolitionist arcane senate rule to shut up a woman who was reading the words of martin luther king jr. s widow on the senate floor and last night and today when four male senators read from the same letter they let the guys go ahead and read it and as they
state of south carolina; we haven t heard anything back but i need to tell you, i need to tell you, we did hear about this matter from the president s lawyer back in december when we first contacted him at the story. at the time the president s lawyer told us this whole deal was stet l settled and complete application had been approved, south carolina said yes to the president s company and that was flat out not true. we now know not only was that application not approved, it s not going to be approved. they just got told no now last night. so the trump organization lawyer lied to us directly. we know that in full technicolor now and as of tonight we know mid-level regulators in south carolina state government had the uncomfortable task of staring down the most powerful man in the world, the man who happens to be known for suing companies and threatening states and threatening people who defy him but they steeled themselves and made their decision. this is a nutting thing to have
night and today when four male senators read from the same letter they let the guys go ahead and read it and as they approved jefferson beauregard sessions, iii, to be the next attorney general of the united states we multily learned he has also been give an door prize on his way into the justice department. he s been allowed to bring in as solicitor general his old friend from birmingham, the interracial dating ban guy chuck cooper who will reportedly be our next solicitor general of the united states. do you see a theme here? there s a thread to pull through all these developments however gossamer it may be but that thread spells out we do not give a flying flipping freaking fruit case ficus fjord we don t give any fs about being unreconstructed on race. they don t care about the optics on race. they don t care about racial sensitivity. they don t care about whether they seem super hostile to anybody who doesn t look just like all those guys arrayed behind the president while
