Young is there to repeat his criticism of Trump, which is of course that Trump is a racist bigot.

I found the Yale call for Mnuchin to resign, to be informative. An Open Letter to Steven Mnuchin

We, some of your fellow members of the Yale College Class of 1985, write to you today in response to President Trump's comments on the recent events in Charlottesville. We believe it is your moral obligation to resign your post as Secretary of the Treasury, effective immediately. We understand that graduates of Yale College have served the United States proudly as presidents, members of the cabinet, and in many other capacities since its founding, and that rarely, if ever, have any of us made such a request of a classmate, whatever our differences in political opinion have been.

We do so today because President Trump has declared himself a sympathizer with groups whose values are antithetical to those values we consider fundamental to our sacred honor as Americans, as men and women of Yale, and as decent human beings. President Trump made those declarations loudly, clearly, and unequivocally, and he said them as you stood next to him. We can be Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and a number of other things and still be friends, classmates, and patriots, but we cannot be Nazis and white supremacists. We can disagree on the means of promoting the general welfare of the country, on the size and role of government, on the nature of freedom and security, but we cannot take the side of what we know to be evil.

We call upon you, as our friend, our classmate, and as a fellow American, to resign in protest of President Trump's support of Nazism and white supremacy. We know you are better than this, and we are counting on you to do the right thing.

The letter is incredible, but even more, to me, is reading remarks following reports of the letter, and reports on Mnuchin's response. The left literally believes that Trump is a nazi, or at least it is pretending to believe that, and wants the world to belive that. The belief suits their aims.

Mnuchin's response is being buried and cherry-picked by the press.

I urge people "scrolling by" to pause -- click on the link and read Mnuchin's response.

It is part of the herd mentality of the left. Once a meme is put forth, they react like Pavlov's dog. They jumped on the bandwagon on Trump's collusion with the Russians in much the same way. Facts are irrelevant. They hope to keep this up until Trump resigns or until 2020. They smell blood in the water.
