[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Game over.  The intern acknowledged he flashed a white power signal.  It may not have been intentional, but he still admits he did.[/quote]

PP has it wrong. He did no such thing.  
This is his statement (posted upthread):

"In some of our intern pictures, I emulated the OK sign the President sometimes makes," he said. "That was foolish. I should have listened more closely to the Commander-in-Chief and given the thumbs up. I'm proud of my Jewish heritage and strongly reject the hateful views associated with racist white power organizations. I would never make common cause with them." [/quote]

In other words: the intern didn't know he was flashing a white power sign. He was copying Trump. Does Trump know what he's doing when he makes that sign?[/quote]

And, I guess all the liberals who use tiki torches for their summer backyard parties are totally unaware that they are aligning themselves with white supremacists.  Do they even know what they are doing?

(I hate it when people “appropriate” a harmless sign or item - AOK - and then assume that anyone who uses that sign or item is somehow “stained” as a result.)[/quote]

It's all about context. If you were going to protest something tomorrow and decided to bring tiki torches, what kind of message do you think you'd send?
