Media Working Overtime Trying To Prove Trump Is A Racist


From the Washington Examiner:
Major media outlets this week encouraged people to speculate on whether President Trump is a racist and even commissioned artists to convey the idea that he is, but still fell short of generating a consensus that Trump is prejudiced against non-whites. 
The effort is nearly a week old now. It began Saturday when Trump was criticized for not immediately singling out neo-Nazis and white supremacists for their role in the violence in Charlottesville, Va. 
When Trump finally did identify the groups on Monday, the press said he was too slow. Then a day later, Trump again condemned white supremacists, but also said at a press conference that both the white supremacist protesters and counter-protesters were violent, and that there is blame on “both sides.” 
By Thursday, major magazines were declaring Trump a racist. Or at least, they were suggesting it with the art on their new covers. The Economist started it off with a story titled “Donald Trump has no grasp of what it means to be president.” It was accompanied by a depiction of Trump shouting into a bullhorn in the shape of a Ku Klux Klan hood. 
The New Yorker also took on Trump by revealing its new cover: a depiction of Trump on a sailboat, blowing into the sail that is also shaped like a KKK hood. The cover art is titled, “Blowhard.”

"...it is truly a spectacle of self-delusion to watch republican performers deliver thunderous denunciations of “white supremacists” without the vaguest realization of whom the left is directing that ubiquitous imprecation toward. They’re talking about you, idiots.

"(Now a)sk yourself how many liberals are going to say: “I think I may just vote for that fascist now,” compared to how many conservatives are rolling their eyes in contempt at the cucking."

No kidding!

Politics has become more of a farce than ever ever before in my lifetime.
