Why all the sudden outrage about a white supremacist eating at Mar-A-Lago?

[Atticus]

Trump has taken most of his meals there since he left the White House.

[Ocelot II]

1. One lives there; even owns the place.

[quakerboy]

31. aledgedly

do we have any proof of the actual ownership?

[rubbersole]

2. A racist, klanner and misogynist walk into the bar at mar a lardo

The bartender says "What will it be Mr. Trump?"

[spooky3]

5. Good one. Why are certain people surprised by his dinner

And so many people expressing outrage about this but were curiously rather quiet about many of his bigoted (or worse) acts before (eg, assaults on women)?

[Ray Bruns]

17. They are only mad because it's been made public.

[chriscan64]

19. For me it is like his other "incidents".

Outrage: yes. Surprise: no.

[NH Ethylene]

30. Two reasons

He is running for president. Notice how Pence's condemnation was featured.

And his popularity is on the downslope. Those cowards who were quiet in the past now smell blood.

[malaise]

3. They're finished with him

pariah time

[krkaufman]

25. *Trying* to be done with him

Yeah, the little criticism we hear is coming from those trying to wrest control of the GOP base back from Trump, but I expect they’ll all fall back in line when they again come up short, just like when they failed to stop him in 2015-2016.

[Bev54]

4. This is another squirrel for the media to chase.

[barbtries]

6. well done.

and correct you are.

[Orrex]

7. Well played

[Rebl2]

8. I know

He and his fellow white supremacist’s have been doing this for years. Why are they shocked now?

[reACTIONary]

9. Bazinga! NT

[DENVERPOPS]

10. I really pity

his housekeeper and plumber.......

[DownriverDem]

11. It seemed ironic that

Kanye was there.

[louis-t]

27. They were only there because they kiss his ass

and tell him he's the bestest prezeedent of all time.

[soldierant]

12. Well, true, but

there ae so many people in denial I appreciate when the media grabs an opportunity to highlight it.

[Solomon]

13. Because a lot of white people are in denial about racism.

There are even people who question whether Trump is racist. Ducks quacking all over the place but they ain't ducks.

[Martin68]

14. Many people, sadly, do not realize who Trump really is. It is vital to put this information out

there for all to see every time it happens. Some people just need steady barrage of facts to break through their complacency. Get with the program! Our democracy depends on it.

[Blue Owl]

15. Was there ever a speech where FF45 DIDN'T flash the "white power" gesture?

I wanna punch his fat fucking face every time I’m unfortunate enough to see it

[rubbersole]

16. Don't hold back.

[MyMission]

18. Because he's now a candidate

his actions are under more scrutiny. That's the serious answer.

His (Jewish) daughter and son in law won't be helping, holding his hand, or holding him back from whatever his other advisors and sycophants are promoting.

So he's going full racist, which he already was but it's clear that's the group that has given him constant support. They are maga, the great white hope.

We really do need to publicize this, even though most rethugs know and agree with his hate speech.

[Dan]

21. Going full Racist...

That would not be good for him. Because then, people would be forced to confront his racism and their support it. At least with a ‘grin and wink’ they can be in denial of what he really is and what they’re supporting.

[Snackshack]

20. I see what...

You did there. 🙂

But seriously why all the hand wringing and outrage? DT’s racism has been abundantly clear since day 1.

However, IMO DT’s lying about COVID-19 and calling it a hoax, doing all he could to slow down or stop testing and thru what can only be described as criminal negligence if described at all is a far worse offense then having dinner with a dickhead.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Didn't know David Duke either. "Fine people..." The orange one duped many millions and they really

don't care. Quite remarkable.
Good one, Atticus!

[llashram]

23. sweet

[kirby]

24. Stephen Miller was IN the Administration / WH!!! n/t

[KT2000]

26. +100

and he still adored by the GOP.

[kentuck]

28. He is just trying to stir up the white nationalists and the racists...

...in case he needs to call on them for more violence.

They will wait on his call.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. Good one, but Fuentes is more blatant and toxic than run of the mill racists like trump
