Laugh line of the morning comes from Cokie Roberts' Wikipedia entry: "Some have questioned Roberts' objectivity as a journalist." Some, indeed. On today's Morning Joe, NPR-ite Roberts, her eyes flashing with anger, asked Donald Trump whether he was "proud" of promoting racism among schoolkids: "There have been incidents of children, white children, pointing to their darker skinned classmates and saying 'you'll be deported when Donald Trump is president.' . . . Are you proud of that?"
Calling it a "very nasty question," Trump replied "I'm not proud of it because I didn't even hear of it. And I don't like it at all when I hear about it." Roberts said that it's been reported in many papers, presumably alluding to articles such as this and this.

We’ve been seeing that expression a lot this primary season. hehe
Pathetic....they are going to play not just the race card but the whole damn deck.
Ouch!
My faceboob page is filled with whining and gnashing of teeth with Trump Fear running amuck..
They need to prepare and practice responses .... Repeat the buzzword immediately.
Ie, RACISM is abhorrent, Cokie. . WE condemn this! I say WE because I’m sure YOU AGREE WITH ME, COKIE. RACISM is despicable ... We must educate and inform people!
Now let me tell you what WE should be proud of...
Hardworking folks of all races and colors built this country, and folks like Cokie have been very successful in taking it away from them to give it to folks who can't be bothered to take care of the gift they have been given.
Of course folks are angry. It is spilling out in some ugly directions. But Cokie you and your kind are the one's who started this.
By asking that question she thought she would get a nasty response from Trump.
Trump should have told her to ESAD.
That statement sounds like one of those fabrications Liberals always make up in their effort to destroy their opposition. You know, like how women are beaten more on Super Bowl Sundays than at any other time of the year.
Liberals just make crap up and the corrupt MSM dutifully repeats it and it becomes accepted. Cokie, who - specifically - made such a comment where did it happen. Who witnessed this? Cokie Roberts needs to re-read the 9th Commandment.
Disgraceful Cokie. The racism meme is always their fallback for disparaging Republicans.
My favorite memory of Cokie was election night 1996 with David Brinkley, Sam Donaldson, and few others. When Clinton was officially declared the winner, Brinkley said something like, “Geez, 4 more years of this s***” Cokie and Sam smiled nervously.
Trumps answer was weak. He should’ve turned the table on her. “Where and who said this”? “Incidents”?! “Can you name your source for these ‘incidents’”? Then he could spell out his actual immigration philosophy. That or refuse to be interviewed by commies in the future. It never bodes well for any “R’s”. No matter how un R they are.
I wonder where she spent her time the 60’s. (?)
This old hag is pissed that the old playbook of calling a Republican racist and a bigot isnt working and the Dems are in panic..because if Trump can withstand the past week of being called a Nazi,racist, bigot, etc..then the Democrats are in big trouble. All the Democrats have in the end is trying to brand someone a racist and divide people.
It’s not going to work with Trump.People are tried of being called racist.
He could address borh. Black-on-white crime has been ignored in the media, and by every level of government, for too long, as we listen to all the ginned-up outrage about a “war on blacks”. Just look at the FBI/DOJ rape statistics, for one-the imbalance is huge (though the latest ones you can see run through the Bush administration, Obama’s administration stopped publishing them).
How is that any different than blacks surrounding someone and beating the crap out of them while yelling “Black Lies Matter”? Or, burning or looting stores, all in the name of “Black Lies Matter”. For years Mexicans have been booing the American flag, and intimidating American students, has she ever said a word about that?
Yeah, this sounds more like “nationalist” or “law-ist”.
The kids weren’t taunting the others for their “race”, but for their status of legality in this country.

I dont see it.
On second thought Cokie is right, we should let those two kids and their discussion determine national policy. The illegals and terrorists can stay! I feel so much better. Thanks kids (Not you racist kid I want you reeducated).
We will let the terrorists educate any kid who likes Trump. Now I feel good.
No don’t think so
People won’t remember statistics and he has 5 seconds or 10 at most to do a rebuttal that will stick
Then go into a mantra, well rehearsed and scripted. but sincere about respect for the American people ( who are surely feeling disrespected these days)
Works all the time for democrats, except the part about sincere
The _reason_ “folks are angry” is that we see the left intentionally destroying our culture and nation
and when we resist their destruction, we get called nasty names.
