And it’s far from code when you’re talking about Mexican human traffickers and drug dealers. There was no hinting about who the “hombres” are. It’s a Spanish word, he was clearly talking specifically about Mexican criminals. He has no reason to be ashamed of doing so. Was he supposed to insinuate that there could be Norwegian human traffickers on the Mexican border? Let us all try not to be stupid in an effort to make a point that can’t be made
Instead of going out into the real world and getting real jobs. It’s the same old same old.
Didn’t Trump say the same thing?
Why did he use Spanish when talking to Americans? Why emphasize the ethnicity/race of the people he is referring to? Why refer to it at all? Willie Horton anyone? You are old enough to remember him, hopefully not too old to have forgotten.
To whom was she referring? What demographic?
He used Spanish because he was talking about people who would call themselves thst. don’t be stupid it’s not racist to accurately describe who you’re talking about
Trump supporters, she said so clearly. It’s funny the way there is no code.
Why would he use a Spanish word? Do you use foreign words in that way? Does Trump normally use foreign words that way?
Oh, I get it. He thought YOU would be confused if, when speaking about Mexico, he didn’t use the Spanish word for men. You might have thought he meant Martians or something.
No, you are wrong. Did you even hear her speech? She was referring to some of his supporters, not all.
But to whom was he speaking? Is that a normal way for people to speak? Do you call Mexican men hombres?
I was both stupid and naive in saying to myself “How in the world can all if this possibly be spun?”
…Sigh… It didn’t take long…
HUGE amounts of "Whatabout-ism (President Obama; and of course Hillary Clinton’s e-mails…which seems will always be a fall-back…)
Flat out throwing every President before Trump AND our intelligence agencies under a huge, Double-Decker Russian bus; AND
Solidifying it all tonight with an exclusive interview with Hannity. (Big surprise there…)
I’m at a loss with all this…
Really? None of it should be surprising.
You mean like millions of Conservatives did (most likely including you)…when President Obama said “You didn’t build this…”…DESPITE the fact that went on to explain in the same speech that we seldom (if ever) experience Life and Success ALONE?
And what about the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth of Conservatives with President Obama’s “apology” tour…or raking the first lady over the Coals when she states she was ashamed of some of the things our Country has done in the past (and continue to do); our actions; NOT our Country.
Yet Trump throws our Intelligence Community to the wolves; blames it all on Past Presidents; blames the stupidity of America for the problems we have with Russia… then proceeds to lick Putin’s boots by saying what a great leader he is.
The double/Triple standard is staggering when it comes to what Trump gets a pass on.
Stupid?
Please.
Any conservative from New England knows Trump was talking about Adam McQuaid, using our secret racist code, of course.
Like the fact that the guy who talks about fake news was a birther and is an Alex Jones fan.
I still think Trump’s election is a testament to how many mouth breathers bought into the birther movement
Yeah…but what about OBAMA and Clinton’s e-mails???
Yes I heard her speech it was very clear what she was talking about. no I’m not wrong. She stated a percentage of Trump supporters were a basket of deplorable’s. That has a clear meaning
Despite how I feel about Trump…I think his win had a lot to do with 1) what a horrible candidate Clinton was 2) all the garbage she carried and 3) Russian hacking.
Per Mufasa’s request, posting this here also (from “Russia Won’t Go Away”):
I know Obama’s trip was referred to as the “Apology Tour”. What should we call this? “Authoritarian Admiration Outing”? “Treason Tour”? It needs to be snappy…
And I thought the tweet was bad.
