Since last week’s presidential debate, we’ve seen nearly nonstop news coverage about whether President Joe Biden should drop out as the Democratic presidential contender, expressed in numerous op-eds, on political podcasts and on cable television.

But while Biden’s performance on Thursday is a legitimate issue, the media’s laser-focused coverage of it has resulted in former President Donald Trump all but being given a pass for vile and — in the opinion of many — racist remarks he made at the debate. And Trump’s comments were far, far worse than anything Biden said.

For starters, there was Trump’s use of the word Palestinian as a slur. This came up during a discussion of the war in Gaza, with Trump saying, “Let Israel finish the job.” He then criticized Biden for, in his view, restraining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s military action. That’s the same military, it should be noted, that has left tens of thousands of Palestinians dead and dying, including many women and children, and according to the United Nations has unleashed an ever-growing humanitarian catastrophe along with the widespread destruction of residential homes.

I smell desperation now that ever more people realize that the “king has no clothes”. I laugh at their pathetic squirming. May Righteous Justice reach them all...and soon.

“Palestinian” is a slur. Everyone over there, prior to Arafat, referred to themselves as Palestinian Arab or Palestinian Jew. Those betas at MSM can not fathom anything but racism.

“Squirrel!”

People who want to take offense will find SOMETHING to take it over.

Trump said nothing wrong. Some people are just looking for an occasion against him.

Thanks, but resist including such superfluity as "Editor’s Note: Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney, is the host of SiriusXM radio’s daily program, “The Dean Obeidallah Show.” Follow him on Threads. The views expressed in this commentary are his own. Read more opinio n at CNN." and the rest, and post the 78 words on the cited offense,

"he said Biden “'has become like a Palestinian.”'

Then there was Trump’s baseless comment during the debate claiming that migrants coming to our nation were “taking Black jobs.”..Trump’s “Black jobs” remark shows that Trump has “a low opinion of Black people.”

Same goes for Trump’s assertion that migrants were coming to take “Hispanic jobs,” a term that once again reveals Trump’s own bigotry when it comes to the types of jobs he believes Latino Americans hold

Depends, my focus was Israel is justified in finishing the job. If you want to know every instance of so called Trump racism, then it's on you to read the entire article and make your own points.

So the party that says blacks are too poor and barely survive on minimum wage jobs so they cannot obtain an ID to vote or feed their children during the summer - are upset Trump stated illegals are taking jobs that many blacks need?
