Where Are McConnell & Ryan, Other Republicans?
No "Word History" for this today...
We all know what Donald Trump said, and didn't say, about the White Supremacists, Nazis, the KKK and White Nationalists, first on Saturday, then again on Tuesday, interspersed with a reluctant condemnation of violent racist groups on Monday. It should be CLEAR to ALL Americans, the REAL Donald Trump IS the ONE many of us have been saying he IS for so long. No longer can ANY Americans bury their heads in the sand and deny or fail to address this abomination. After Trump's statements on Saturday and Tuesday, many Republican leaders and officeholders made their way to Twitter to say how much they condemned these same groups, with a few even admonishing Trump for his diluting a long tradition of strong, unequivocal condemnation of such violent racists, although not all mentioned Trump by name. I only say "Trump" or "Donald Trump," because I refuse to dignify this total abomination with the title "president." I also do NOT accept those who say how they've known him for years, and that he is not a racist. Open your eyes and ears, DONALD TRUMP IS A RACIST.
A big question is, where are Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan on things, besides weak-kneed Tweets? These two, and many other Republicans in both houses of Congress, sure didn't waver in their attempt to strip health care from millions of Americans. And as for other Republicans, including those serving in the Trump administration, when do you stop acting like Trump did on Monday, while appearing to be forced to make his condemnation statement, and you stand up and condemn and divorce yourself from Donald Trump? When will YOU lead your constituents and followers to stand against these groups, instead of seemingly fearing the retribution of these groups at the voting booths. The GOP has been courting these groups for many years, now bringing their party to this point in their history. Speak out NOW and ACT! YOU have already been complicit, end that complicity NOW!
