What republican senator has made an issue of aa lately? None? So now we.slam trump for not.taking on the issues that no so called conservative in dc will take on? Right...
I can't remember the last time I heard this as even being an issue.
But hey, if we can use it to bash Trump, what the heck....
Superb point!
With the exception of Jeff Sessions, no Republican Senator has been particularly vocal on opposing illegal immigration and amnesty either. We all know that the GOP Senate/Congress consists mostly of "moderates," sell-outs, and cowards. That doesn't excuse similar behavior in Trump or any other candidate.
Affirmative action is an important issue that has been intentionally marginalized, because like illegal immigration, the Left has largely successfully made criticism of aa beyond the pale. Therefore, most Republican politicians are quiet about it (or supportive) for much the same reason as their support for amnesty.
I would also argue that affirmative action (reverse discrimination laws aimed against whites) is probably one of the most destructive policies facing America with the exception of uncontrolled Third World immigration.
