Trump and his team continue to prove hey're racist.
Mercedes Schlapp, redo is against the protests, retweeted the video of the racist act.
The two competing forces collided Saturday on the Twitter feed of Trump campaign senior adviser Mercedes Schlapp, when she boosted a tweet that lauded a man in Texas in a viral video as he yelled the n-word and wielded a chainsaw to chase away anti-racism demonstrators.
The activity by a senior Trump campaign adviser, and former White House aide, reflects a broader movement by some Republicans to attack the protests against police brutality.

That is ludicrous and asinine.
One example from that putrid article of bloviated horse shit.
" President Donald Trump and his allies for years have amplified racist messages on Twitter while simultaneously reaching out to black and Hispanic voters ..."
And what is used as an example of that supposed racism?

The tweet's graphic insinuates the real problem in the criminal justice system is not police brutality or racial bias but black people themselves — since, after all, black-on-black crime is the most likely outcome, according to the graphic. These figures reinforce a common defense of racial disparities in the criminal justice system: Conservatives often raise the point of "black-on-black" crime, rhetorically implying that the real issue is a lack of personal responsibility in black communities, which leads police to shoot black people at higher rates.
There are all sorts of problems with this narrative, particularly the mischaracterization of why levels of black-on-black crime are higher within black communities. But perhaps more importantly, the numbers in Trump's tweet are completely wrong....
Every single number in Trump's tweet is wrong. Here are the real numbers for 2014, the latest year available in the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports:
- Nearly 90 percent of black homicide victims were killed by someone who's black, and nearly 8 percent were killed by someone who's white.
- More than 82 percent of white homicide victims were killed by someone who's white, and nearly 15 percent were killed by someone who's black.
- It's impossible to know just how many homicide victims are killed by police, because these killings are underreported and, in some cases, completely unreported.
What's immediately clear is Trump's numbers are completely wrong. Not only are the great majority of white homicide victims not killed by black people, but they're in fact killed by other white people.
So Trumps numbers, that they dont give, are supposedly wrong, but the stats they do give kind of reinforce the points Trump was 'insinuating' in the mind of the Vox writer, which is all in THEIR heard and not necessarily what Trump intended at all. A white person is twice as likely to be killed by a black person as for the reverse to happen. That does not support BLMs bullshit about blacks being subject to genocide at all, and seems to imply if anything the opposite is true.
And this video of an
hispanic man using a chain saw to chase off idiot white kids protesting at his store is somehow racist?
The article only says " when she boosted
a tweet that lauded a man in Texas in a viral video as he yelled the n-word and wielded a chainsaw to chase away anti-racism demonstrators. "
It fails to mention he is Hispanic, fails to mention the idiots were white kid morons, but it all means somehow that Mercedes Schlapp is a racist?

If the libtards were not allowed to lie, lie, and lie more they would not be able to speak at all.
