Jim Acosta Grills Trump Spox on ‘White Power’ Rally Shouts
Mediaite ^ | 08/24/2015 | Ken Meyer

Jim Acosta spoke with Donald Trump‘s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski about recent developments that have occurred after the 2016 candidate’s statements on illegal immigration. After Lewandowski talked about the severity of the problem, Acosta then decided to grill him about whether there was any concern if Trump’s rhetoric might hurt anyone if it “spiral[s] out of control.”

Acosta brought up how two men in Boston attacked a homeless Mexican while quoting Trump’s position, and also a man who reportedly shouted “white power” during his speech in Alabama last week.

Lewandowski’s response seemed to echo Trump’s, saying that he does not condone violence, and that the people attending the rally were there because they were proud Americans who were receptive to the “Make America Great Again” motto.

“We would never condone violence. If that’s what happened in Boston, by no means would that be acceptable in nature,” Lewandowski said. “We should not be ashamed to be Americans. We should be proud of our heritage and continue to be the greatest country in the world.”

I fully expect paid Democratic operatives to go the Trump rallies and say stupid stuff so the media can blame Trump.

This is why the Democrats filter their fund raisers.

If I were a white supremacist I'd donate $ to planned parenthood and the dim party. Who has done more harm to “people of color” than those 2 groups?

“Betcha G.W. Bush is happy.”

Doughtyone has a great reply re GW and Trump!

DoughtyOne to McGruff; All
Six years after Obama was sworn in the first time, it’s still Bush’s fault.

17 months before Trump is sworn in. It’s already Trump’s fault.

Thanks.

In fairness, some others had touched on this concept too before I did, although not quite as directly as I did. I saw them after I had posted my comments.

Their thoughts along these lines were right on as well.

So here we go again

Trump is responsible for every idiot in the crowd?

Is hilLIARy responsible for the ‘black lives matter’ shooters?
