I don't think calling out 15-20% of the population racist is anything but true.
What's a lie is claiming they aren't pretty distributed between the parties
They're not.
Trump owns them. Let's remember, it's not Clinton running a campaign against immigrants, it's not Clinton eulogizing an anti-gay, anti-feminist bigot, it's not Clinton who had to pretend she didn't know who David Duke was. Clinton hasn't been sued for racist business practices and she doesn't have to point out to a single person in the audience to pretend they have support from the black community.
But, please, drag out Robert Byrd's corpse one more time, let's pretend he didn't turn his life around, let's pretend he didn't get a 100% rating from the NAACP while fat fuck racist dixiecrat Strom Thurmond was sitting in the senate.
Data Reveals Hillary Clinton Was Right About Donald Trumpās 'Deplorableā Supporters | Huffington Post
Letās start with some good old-fashioned racism. According to a
Reuters/Ipsos pollfrom June, roughly 50 percent of Trump supporters reported viewing African-Americans as more āviolentā and ācriminalā than whites, with 40 percent or more also saying that blacks were more ālazyā and ārudeā than their white counterparts. And given Trumpās role in the rise of the racist ābirtherā movement, it seems fitting that 65 percent of his backers still believe the falsehood that President Obama is a secret Muslim and 59 percent continue to insist that our nationās first black president was not born in the United States, according to a May survey by
Public Policy Polling.
