        But to answer your question: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-trump-tweets-spur-hate-crimes1/ … Yes, Trump's rhetoric is leading to increases in hate crimes.

        This is why (NRA/Republicans) allowing guns in bars is a bad, bad, bad idea. We cannot let racism become normalized, good on him for standing up for his fellow man. Chad Merrill should be revered for this act of bravery.

        I blame @realDonaldTrump 4 this! Trump gave bigots, like the KKK, David Duke, & Charlottesville tiki-torchers, credibility. Now, Chad Merrill (25 w/a 5 month old daughter) is DEAD bc he dared defend a Black man verbally harassed a bigot. That’s #MAGA? I think NOT!!

        Chad Merrill is an American HERO, just like #HeatherHeyer, murdered by a bigot in Charlottesville bc she dared march 4 equality, & Ricky John Best & Taliesin Ameche, murdered by a bigot in Oregon bc they dared defend two Black Muslim Women being harassed. This is NOT #MAGA trump!

        My fellow Americans: we MUST defend the 1st & 14th Amendments & the judgements made by the SCOTUS under the moral hand of Chief Justice Warren in the 1969s! This is America, which claims 2b land of the FREE! Trump wants us 2 hate each other 2 death, literally. We MUST #Resist!
