Angry Cokie Asks Trump: Are You 'Proud' of Promoting Schoolkid Racism?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/09/2016 6:03:59 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Laugh line of the morning comes from Cokie Roberts' Wikipedia entry: "Some have questioned Roberts' objectivity as a journalist." Some, indeed. On today's Morning Joe, NPR-ite Roberts, her eyes flashing with anger, asked Donald Trump whether he was "proud" of promoting racism among schoolkids: "There have been incidents of children, white children, pointing to their darker skinned classmates and saying 'you'll be deported when Donald Trump is president.' . . . Are you proud of that?"

Calling it a "very nasty question," Trump replied "I'm not proud of it because I didn't even hear of it. And I don't like it at all when I hear about it." Roberts said that it's been reported in many papers, presumably alluding to articles such as this and this.

Once illegal immigrant children are in the country it’s a difficult moral problem what to do with them. That’s a reason we need a wall — the most humane way of keeping them out.

Racism is promoted by the kooky “Cokies” of this society who persistently legitimize ‘white privilege’ nonsense.

Hey Corkie.... How about asking Obama if he is proud of inspiring black kids to play the “Knockout” game with random white people... Just as much connection.

While we’re at it, where on earth does the name cokie come from?

I always thought is was short for Cocaine.

There have been incidents of children, white children, pointing to their darker skinned classmates and saying ‘you’ll be deported when Donald Trump is president.’
That statement sounds like one of those fabrications Liberals always make up in their effort to destroy their opposition.


Exactly. For one thing, how many children would use a word like “deported”.

Dear Cokie -

This is the real racism in our country - Democrats are propped up by lower class black and brown citizens.

AND HOW DO YOU TREAT THEM?

They will NEVER be able to run anyone without permission from the Elites. LOOK AT WHO YOUR SUPER DELEGATES ARE... TEHY’RE LOBBYISTS AND WHITE INSIDERS.

YOU’VE RIGGED THE GAME AGAINST YOUR BASE. THAT’S RACIST... THE OLD FASHIONED JIM CROW TYPE OF RACISM. YOU’VE TAKEN AWAY THE VOTE FROM YOUR BLACK AND BROWN BASE... AND YOUR WHITE (BUT NOT INAIIDERS) BASE. THE SANDERS FOLKS... READ IT... ABC - SOMEONE YOU TRUST.

“ABC News recently reported that, “dozens of the 437 delegates in the DNC member category are registered federal and state lobbyists, according to an ABC News analysis. In fact, when you remove elected officials from the superdelegate pool, at least one in seven of the remainder are former or current lobbyists.”

Trump wasn’t around when Black Lives Matter and La Raza were formed.

Shut up,Cokie.

Trump should have turned it around and asked Cookie Roberts: Do you support an Oregon couple being fined $135,000 and losing their business because their religious beliefs prevented them from baking a cake for a gay wedding?

Or Trump could have asked her, “Why do you support a candidate who protects rapists?”

Exactly!

I bet some anonymous teacher, parent, etc. just couldn’t wait to tell a ‘reporter’ about children talking about deportation! /s

Last night during his victory speech a reporter asked him a question which highly offended him. He didn’t answer it. The question couldn’t be heard and the questioner couldn’t be seen. Anybody know who or or what it was?

Look at that angry, vituperative face in # 9.

Kooky is already transforming into Medusa the Gorgon.

Note how the snakes are already forming on her head.

(.....then again, you'd better not click back to take a peek.....you will turn into stone!)

That was so misplaced, so disgusting of her. I didn’t really respect her before but really dislike her now...

She wote a book some years ago about the wives of the Founders that I liked a lot. But this is a gross stupidity. Just made my Salvation Army donation bigger -- by one book.
