Anyone who still supports Trump is a racist too

Trump is a racist, pure and simple, that couldn't be more clear. Up to now, it could be assumed that most of his supporters are racist too, but also that some of his supporters just like his policies. We've crossed a threshold now though, if you support Trump still, you are a racist until you prove otherwise.

...who rant about trumpf day after day on MSM, yet they still support their party's racist, bigoted policies against well everyone not white non Christian, lgbt, immigrants and refugees. Either they leave the party en masse or they STFU....I'm not buying their outrage.

They did not deny that :Trump said this.

But then again they didn't exactly speak up demanding an apology from Donald Shithole

9. Some have gotten the benefit of the doubt from me until now

Trump is a racist, he's a garden variety white supremacist. These are simple facts. He also might be a Neo Nazi.

Until now, some of his followers got the benefit of the doubt. There were people who believed him when he said he was going to help the working class, there were people who thought a lot of his policies were good who weren't racist. Some of these people even overlooked some of the more racist things he has said.

Doesn't mean you can't still support Conservative policies. Not all of Trump's policies are racist (most are, but not all.) But as of now, if you still support Trump being our President, you are in fact a racist too. Time to call out every Trump supporter for this.

Every single asshole who voted for him is an idiot racist fuckhead, and every single idiot racist fuckhead who continues to support him is a stupid piece of shit.

Anyone who pretends not to have seen his true colors is lying.

I reject any claims that he manipulated them, or that he fooled them, or that he made himself seem credible. He is a petty, ignorant, dull-witted racist, and there is no way that anyone could have missed this.

I have a feeling they are going to sell their remaining supplies very quickly as well as white Polo shirts and khaki trousers.

I just called Brian Mast and left a voice message saying just that. Also emailed Rubio since I couldn't get an answer to my phone call. I told both that is they do not speak out and condemn this message then that means they are racist and support Trump's racist agenda.
Sadly, I do not expect either of them to speak out or condemn the remarks.
