Donald Trump Goes Full Racist On Ted Cruz And Nobody Notices
The Donald Trump phenomenon has exposed many an uncomfortable truth about America in 2015, including the degree to which his message of white resentment and nativist exclusion sells like hotcakes to Republican voters, and beyond. The coverage of his Friday night rally in Des Moines, Iowa has further exposed the uncomfortable truth that our mainstream media has a blind spot on race that blots out the sun. The rally was Trump’s first opportunity to address rival Ted Cruz’s backroom sniping at Trump, even as he desperately makes nice in public.
Watching news coverage of the event Saturday morning, you would think that the worst thing Trump did was mock Cruz’s truckling puppy-dog orbit of Trump’s every utterance, and his opposition to ethanol subsidies. Here’s the bit that’s getting all the play:
“Everything I say, he agrees with me. No matter what I say. I was gonna do one really wild, but he agrees. But really, with the ethanol, he’s got to come a long way, because he’s right now for the oil.”
The part that for some inexplicable reason is getting less attention is Trump’s full-on racist attack on Cruz’s Cuban-American roots. Boasting about Rev.

One by one Trump is calling out each race and his followers do not care, White power!

I love it . Not a single competitor deserves any respect. they all lie in pig shit and then try to appear sane and sweet smelling. Keep attacking each other sooner or later a supporter of one camp will go rambo on another and a good old wild west show will result. Could not happen to a better group of ass wipes

Franklin Graham is a LYING THIEVING republikon kristian that fully supports the LYING THIEVING republiKon kristian governor and US senator of NC.
any endorsement from him can only be for a LYING THIEF republiKon kristian.

I’m not so sure Donald’s base is capable of hearing that dog whistle. Perhaps Trump should be just a little less PC and come right out and say “You know all those greasers are papists.”
