On Sunday, O’Rourke began to lose his patience with the media, saying “what the fuck” in response to a question about if there’s anything Trump can do to make the situation better. “Connect the dots about what he’s been doing in this country,” he continued. “He’s not tolerating racism, he’s promoting racism. He’s not tolerating violence, he’s inciting racism and violence.”expressing frustration that he and other Democrats are still being asked if they believe Trump is racist.
O’Rourke isn’t the only Democratic presidential candidate to point a finger the president. “He is responsible because he is stoking fears and hatred and bigotry,” Sen. Cory Booker said on CNN. “He is responsible because he is failing to condemn white supremacy and see it as it is, which is responsible for such a significant amount of the terrorist attacks.
Though he did not mention the president by name, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg cited the rhetoric coming out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as one of the root causes. “We need to acknowledge that this is a problem.” he said Sunday on Fox News. “Right now you see it being echoed by the White House and there is a measure of responsibility that you just can’t get away from.”
On Monday, President Obama, the man who once occupied the office O’Rourke, Booker, Castro, and Buttigieg are now vying for, posted a response that also implicated Trump’s rhetoric, citing a need to “soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiment; leaders who demonize that who don’t look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of live, or refer to other people as...
False?
FelipeMejia2 Beto has been doing this since his Senate campaign.
Finally, Good!
Unvarnished truth from .
I didn’t leave the Democratic Party...they left me years ago. Now they call me a white nationalist for not voting on their side. theendofdnc
CharlesMBlow Trump should be banned from using all forms of social media to propagate his racist propaganda.
Brendajurgens3 And BetoORourke is calling out the media for giving him a pass
CharlesMBlow This is just another example of dnc race baiting & using any tragedy for political poison. To all the people who are pushing realDonaldTrump as a racist , realize that your Words have power. Be mindful as to what you spread- Love or Hate massshootings
It’s just that - nationalism, no more no less. Now can you despicable creeps stop trying to use this to spread your political agenda?
CharlesMBlow Beto has this. Don't worry.
CharlesMBlow When you speak up against racism, we know what side you are on. If you don't speak up against racism, we know what side you are on. Silent is approval.
Its about time
It’s important to remember Trump is a narcissist & opportunist. He embraces whoever keeps him in power. He has no ideology or core beliefs besides his own ego. He sees his only path to reelection through red state white gun loving conservatives. & that is his only path
CharlesMBlow It's good they've begun to realize the stenographers in the media sure a f*ck isn't going to do it.
Finally calling out The Dems finally calling out Trump ? And why is he a “ white nationalist “ exactly ? Shame on you
😊
Finally!?! That’s all they’ve been saying since always
