Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    A day after Donald Trump Jr. wrote a column blaming Democrats for Mollie Tibbetts's death, her father writes a rebuttal, "to call out the racists among us and ask people to aspire to higher American ideals." https://nyti.ms/2wAhpGw

        What I find telling about the worldview of racists is that they are surprised when people they think should be on their side are not.

        For some reason, this happens to me now in airports while waiting for flights. I'm a white woman of a certain age & people will sit next to me & begin to spout their racist bs. They're shocked when I disagree w/ everything they say.

        I'm a 55 year old man who might pass for Italian. A good number of white men do the same thing with me. It is rather jarring considering the fact that they have no idea who I am or what I think. They're shocked that I'm liberal.

        The disrespect shown by the trumps to grieving families is nothing new. I remember the attack on the Khan family, a Gold Star family, who were in grief over the loss of their hero son. The trumps have no shame. We should not be surprised at their lack of respect.#trumptrash

        It worked for them last time, with the Khan family. Assholes.

        I fear there are enough closet racists that that will come out to vote for Steve King (also using this) in November.

        Aside from the ghastly opinion (reportedly, haven't read), why is @DonaldJTrumpJr writing political op-eds when he declared he'd stick to the family business and leave politics to his dad? Was he not telling the truth? (gasp)

        Trump's always seem to attack grieving families. It's their thing.

        The bots are out in full force with absolutely vile things to say about Mollie Tibbetts. She’s now classified as an enemy like the Parkland kids

        I didn't read Jr's piece but I'm going to go out on a limb here. Unless it was published in crayon he didn't write it.
