+100 You're entirely too sane for this crowd. |
I didn’t say racist. I said fascist. And it wasn’t me who made it a fascist talking point, it was Hitler. |
Former President Barack Obama rebuked the racist and xenophobic comments made by speakers at Donald Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon, referring to it as “crazy talk.”
“Some of the stuff they were talking about give you some indication of the kind of divisive politics that they represent,” Obama said during an appearance on the weekly Win With Black Men virtual call Sunday evening. “Our communities and this country is going to feel better if we understand that we’re moving forward with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, as opposed to the … crazy talk coming out of Donald Trump and JD Vance and the entire crew of people they’ve now surrounded themselves with,” Obama said. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, one of the speakers at Trump’s rally in New York, used vulgar and sexualized language to demean immigrants entering the nation illegally, offered a racist trope about Black Americans carving watermelons for Halloween, and referred to the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage.” |
Get a grip. If you can manage it. |
We've been hearing for months how Trump is eating right into the Latino vote - people here have been crowing how there are hardly any Latinos left to vote for Harris, Trump's made so many inroads. But on top of that - what you really don't need to do in the closing days of your campaign is tell a big group of voters that you hate them and think they are garbage. Remember how that worked out for Hillary and the deplorables? (And she was right, but she shouldn't have said it.) There are substantial groups of Puerto Rican voters in swing states - and in Florida, which is why Rick Scott is freaking out right now. |
The comedian was standing in front of a stadium of MAGA rabid fans with a "Trump/Vance 2024" podium mocking Latinos as baby makers who can't control their cum and don't know how to pull out and calling fellow American citizens in Puerto Rico is just a floating island of garbage ... are you serious???
And they dare to ask for our votes?? |
CROWING not growing, godammit autocorrect |
Some of these stereotypes are true. The US has dumped its garbage in Puerto Rico for years. It’s a form of environmental racism |
Welp the Trump campaign just handed a bunch of Latina and Latino votes to Harris and Walz - good! |
Do you understand the phrase "America is for Americans" is a direct adaptation of Nazi rhetoric? If not, then I suggest you read up a little. |
The spillage isn't going to stop with the Puerto Ricans. This rally was the Trump team saying "We hate all you others." |
DP. So much projection... "fascism" is clearly the LWNJ word of the decade. You people have rendered the word meaningless, just like you did to "racism." Nice going. |
and also in direct contrast to the founding of the country and the sentiment on the Statue of Liberty. |
