Get ready for your eyes to roll right out the back of your head.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany went on Fox & Friends this morning to defend Donald Trump’s retweet of a video showing an elderly Florida man outside a retirement community shouting “White power!”
According to Kayleigh, Trump wasn’t promoting racism by sharing the racist video. He was merely “standing up for his [racist] supporters.” Got it?
The since-deleted retweet, shared on Sunday, showed an aging white supremacist rolling past a group of Trump protestors in a golf cart and shouting “White power!”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Thank you to the great people of The Villages,” Trump wrote. “The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!”
Speaking to Fox & Friends earlier today, McEnancy explained, “The president did not hear that phrase in that portion of the video, and when it was signaled to him that this was in there he took that tweet down.”
Of course, anyone who saw the video knows this is total B.S. The man could be heard loud and clear 10-seconds into the video shouting the racist chant.
“But he made very clear to me that he stands with the people of The Villages, our great seniors, men and women in the Villages who support this president,” McEnancy continued.
“He stands for them and his point in tweeting out that video was to stand with his supporters who are oftentimes demonized.”
This is the second time in a week that a White House official has had to publicly defend Trump’s racism.
Last week, Kellyanne Conway had the distinct privilege of telling an Asian American reporter that Trump’s repeated use of the term “kung flu” when talking about coronavirus is not racist.
Vice President Biden didn’t waste anytime seizing on the opportunity to call Trump out for his disgusting behavior.
“Today the President shared a video of people shouting ‘white power’ and said they were ‘great.’ Just like he did after Charlottesville,” the presumptive Democratic nominee tweeted yesterday. “We’re in a battle for the soul of the nation–and the President has picked a side. But make no mistake: it’s a battle we will win.”

He followed that up with another tweet, saying: “White supremacy should be rooted out and relegated to the pages of history–not promoted by the President of the United States.”

Any idea on what we are suppose to call the Democratic Party now? I know we can no longer use the word “Democrat” or “Democratic” sense is was founded to protect the rights to own slaves. Just want to know what the new word is.

Wow. That was very clever. Such an astute historical observation.

Please learn to spell Miss Jennifer.WhitePower530. It makes reading your drivel somewhat less nauseating. I can’t stress the somewhat enough.

Awwww, the right wing troll account DESPERATELY trying to deflect form the fact that Trump tweet out a “White Power” tweet.
Hows that working out for you Boris?

Sure Karen, because the poor, broken down, desperate peasants of 18th century France were slave owners. Lets pretend that these WEREN’T the very people that originally abolished the slave trade in France at the time (before Napoleon came along 8 years later and re-established it) so as to fit your narrative.
“Democrat: Late 18th century (originally denoting an opponent of the aristocrats in the French Revolution of 1790): from French démocrate, on the pattern of aristocrate ‘aristocrat’.”

Then how do you explain that all the NAZI/white supremacists/confederate traitors all align behind Trump?

I never thought I’d miss the days of Sean Spicer. At least he could spin a turd into a glitter covered turd. Still a turd but prettier to look at.
Then came Kayleigh McEnany. And we all longed for the “better” days of this a-hole’s press secretary.

I even miss that Jabba The Hut vixen, Sarah Sanders!
This new one is the worst.

Media feigns surprise EACH TIME Trump does something racist. Then they refuse to use that word, then repeating White House denials that Trump meant to say anything with “Racial overtones”.
Trump’s father was arrested at a KKK rally. None of this is accidental. He was raised in racism and he’s just being himself. Media needs to report facts and stop pretending each new action by Trump is unique.
Den
Not only was his father a racist, but Trump has a history of racist statements and actions going way back. That is undeniably part of his appeal to his base.

So Agolf Twittler [he’s called a lot of things but I love this one the most], keeps trotting out an aryan looking toddler to represent him. He is a million times her age so when she gets it wrong, it’s like oh well, she’s young/Tump does a lot of stuff/changes his mind a lot/It’s a big job/It’s not her fault. Classic misdirection. -Or it would be if literally ANYONE was buying it!
