Ryan Lenz, a senior writer for the Southern Poverty Law Center, suggested that Donald Trumps Drain the Swamp slogan has racist connotations in an appearance Tuesday on CNN.
Host John Berman interviewed Lenz following a segment covering a conference held in Washington, D.C. over the weekend of a so-called alt-right group that supports white nationalist and Neo-Nazi views.

What’s cnn?
I heard they were a media company of some sort once.
Getting rid of VAST majority white dem congressmen and rep’s too is racist? Against whites, I guess.
I take it the Southern Poverty guy is the chump on the right. Just looking at him I can tell that his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top.
They are calling everything they are opposed to racist.
They have nothing else to say. They have no arguments. No one on the left can defend any of their positions anymore. They all just go right to non-think knee-jerk name calling and insults.
No one on te left even bothers to defend anything from an intelligent point of view. Their whole take on what they call “tolerance” is the same thing. They tolerate nothing that isn’t 100% in agreement with them. Otherwise its “extremist” and insults and how stupid/racist people are for not agreeing with them, and that they can’t tolerate people like that.
That’s the mental illness talking.
He said hes going to drain the swamp. Drain the swamp was a meme, a twitter hashtag that grew, exploded, Lenz said. It was spread specificallyor among the people spreading the drain the swamp hashtag were avowed racists, white supremacists who exist on Twitter to harass and demean various ethnic groups.
So according to this clown bad group appropriated the saying which of course makes this particular grouping of words, racist.
He is grasping at straws
SPLC are freaking morons. Dog bites man.
Someone tell the rednecks down in Louisiana about that.
Poi dog pondering.
There is no questioning of these lunatics in the article. Total bias.
Racism like beauty is in the eye and heart of the beholder. If they are busting a gut looking for it they will find it where ever they look.
I wonder if “drain the swamp” was racist when Nancy Pelosi used the term?
