‘I mean, this is not hard’
The Democratic mayor of Charlottesville, Va., Michael Signer, is pinning blame directly on President Trump for the white nationalist protest and related violence that occurred in his city this weekend.
The blame for these events, he said, falls "right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president."
On Sunday he appeared on CNN's State of the Union and accused Trump of intentionally courting white nationalists. Here's a transcript:
TAPPER: You said you place blame for these terrifying events -- quote -- "right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president" -- unquote.
That is a -- that is a very strong charge to level. Why do you think the president himself bears responsibility?
SIGNER: Well, look at the campaign he ran. I mean, look at the intentional courting, both on the one hand of all these white supremacists, white nationalists, a group like that, anti-Semitic groups, and then look on the other hand the repeated failure to step up, condemn, denounce, silence, you know, put to bed all those different efforts, just like we saw yesterday.
I mean, this is not hard. There's -- you know, there's two words that need to be said over and over again, domestic terrorism and white supremacy. That is exactly what we saw on display this weekend.
And we just aren't seeing leadership from the White House. We certainly are going to see leadership from cities like Charlottesville, from mayors, from leaders all around the country left and right.
Republicans and Democrats, if there is an issue that can unite this country, that this can be a turning point for this democracy, I think it just happened right now this weekend in Charlottesville.
You know, I -- to be honest, it doesn't matter much to me whether -- he's already on the sidelines, I think, of so many issues. But the country is going to move ahead. This will be a turning point for the country to overcome this stuff, just like we have overcome these challenges in our past. And I think it's happening right now, as we speak.
That is all these rats have is the race card.
Oh Crap, never mind have to save that for something else.
Signer and McAwful coordinated this outcome.
They wanted a confrontation.
Take another hit off your crack pipe.
Well, that was sooner than I thought. I knew it was going to happen, but again, sooner than I thought.
“Look at the campaign he ran”...AND HE WON.
Another jackass braying
EVERYTHING is Trumps’ fault, naturally.
So the Black Lives Matter group and SJWs exist because of Trump. /s
Never underestimate the idiocy from the left. They always speak first then maybe think it over later. In their little world if they accuse the right of something then that makes it a true fact to them.
Sadly, the race card almost always works for the Democrats. People of color in this country need to wake up and see they’re nothing but political pawns to white liberals. I’ve been around enough white libs in my professional career in education and finance, and behind closed doors they say things about minorities, especially blacks, that are downright racist! In public they’re the black man’s friend. In private forget it!
That’s all these leftist bast**ds have.
The race card and projection.
I am reminded of the collage I saw today on 4chan. All the Trump supporters that were assaulted leaving his rallies before the election. Bleeding heads. Like I say, if a former president can mobilize the 82nd so black kids could go to school one might think a current president might do something so it is safe for people who voted for him to walk the streets. I guess I have always been a little too optimistic but I guess it’s just me.
This reminds me of when Cruz blamed all the organized violence at his Chicago rally on Trump.
Birds of a feather...
Anyone with a shred of common sense knows that Trump bears no culpability in any of this nonsense, but that won't stop the dems and their handmaidens in the media from pushing the narrative.
Let them keep demonizing Trump supporters as "racist" just like they did during the campaign. It won't do anything to help them win back the constituencies that they lost in 2016.
Once more.
This reminds me of when Cruz blamed all the organized violence at Trump’s Chicago rally, on Trump.
Birds of a feather...
The Confederacy was a Democrat creation. BLM was formed supposedly as a result the numbers of blacks being gunned down in Democrat run cities. ANTIFA was created by the Democrats who oppose Trump. How is the violence instigated by any of them President Trump’s fault?
I blame the Head ‘Rat of the local Peoples’ Republic.
