Black Caucus: Trump a ‘two-bit racial arsonist’
The Congressional Black Caucus has some choice words for Trump.
Click here for reuse options!Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said that while there’s nothing new about the use of racial dog whistles in American politics, what Trump is promoting is far louder and more insidious than any politician in recent memory.
“One of the things that we are all used to in this business is dog whistles,” he said. “But the thing that we’re not used to… are the howls of wolves. These are howls, these are not whistles. These are in-your-face kinds of efforts on the part of one man… in order to heap indignities on the President of the United States.”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was even more blunt about Trump.
“He has lived a life of bigotry,” she said. “If you view America as a land of value and equality and justice, this man cannot be elected. We as African Americans have had enough. He has debased this election, but more importantly, he has disgraced himself in his lack of respect for the President of the United States of America.”
…Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) also ripped Trump for being a “disgusting fraud,” while Rep. Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY) called Trump “a two-bit racial arsonist.”

It’s no secret that Rump is a disgusting and vile human being. The problem I have are the people who continue to support him. I think he will lose in November but my worries will continue long after the election as the ones who vote for him may be big trouble down the road….

I agree, this beast will be hard to put back in the box.

The animus and hatred for President Obama, that was mostly underground, and only surfaced occasionally, has been brought to the surface, and it seems it will be with us everywhere now. This is not progress.

Well rump has given this group a voice. If it weren’t for rump, a good percentage of his voters would not even be interested about the Presidential Campaign. I bet most won’t even vote, they don’t know where their voting precinct is and they have no idea how to vote. They are just pissed off because they are not “successful” and they want to blame the black man in the Oval Office.

I wonder if his handlers are smart enough to see that he is registered and knows where to go, since he seems to think it’s someone else’s responsibility to know that. Here’s the 2008 video, showing him not voting:

Yeah I seen that video, he went to a bunch of places and had no idea where to cast a vote. I guess that is what happens when you refuse to read newspapers or watch the local news.

I’m sure it’s because he doesn’t normally vote. If you vote regularly, you know where your polling place is, and you have a voter’s registration card. He wasn’t registered because he hadn’t voted in years. He only did it that time for the photo op.

That’s donnie, he does nothing unless it helps him gain a buck.

He’s consistent, you have to give him that.

I don’t know how she can stand to be in the same room with him.
