Democratic hopeful Rep. John Delaney, D-Md., faced shouted questions over why he wouldn't plainly call President Trump a "white supremacist" as some of his fellow 2020 contenders have.

The questions came as Delaney was surrounded by cameras and apparent members of the press after his speech at the Iowa State Fair on Friday. "Why do you stop short of calling him a white supremacist," Delaney was asked.

The apparent reporter went on to ask what the difference was for Delaney between saying Trump supported white supremacists and using that label to describe him. "I think it's a distinction without a difference," Delaney said, "because enabling white supremacists, as I said earlier, what other conclusion can you come to than he supports it for some reason."

Iowa has already given us RINO Joni Ernst.

Why should this rude behavior be a surprise?

*SPIT*

These quasi conservative Rats are being targeted by the radicals and that’s a good thing because in reality they’re the only ones that have a chance of winning. But if they did win they wouldn’t be any better than the other commie candidates.

Believers in White Privilege are actually expressing their belief in White Supremacy.

Question: Delaney repeatedly questioned over refusal to label Trump a 'white supremacist' at Iowa State Fair.

Definition: White supremacy or white supremacism is the racist belief that white people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them.

Obvious answer: Because he is not by definition a white supremacist.

Delaney needs to switch parties. He is FAR too reasonable to fit into today’s Democrat party.

The reason the slur doesn’t work is they’ve used it for years on every Republican leader. They called milquetoast ROMNEY a Nazi.

They called Bush and McCain Hitler, too.

In fairness to the people of Iowa, Ernst did not present herself as a RINO when seeking election.

“In fairness to the people of Iowa, Ernst did not present herself as a RINO when seeking election.”

Of course not. My other disappointment was Mia Love in UT, but she was one and done.

My own Senator Ron Johnson vacillates on some issues important to me, but he’s terrific compared to our Tammy Baldwin (D, Lesbian, WI) who is such a do-nothing grand-stander. Blech!
