This is frightening and just sad. The new normal in Trump's America. Vote BLUE in 2018/2020.

(129,875 posts)That is like an oxymoron - particularly because the guy (who was apparently black) was also hurling expletives. He needs to be defrocked.
It's remarkable considering how they went after the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and cherry-picked one term out of an hour long sermon that contained the words "God damn America".

It's the Trump era. What did he say?

(15,805 posts)When several reporters were trying to ask Trump if he was a racist as he fled the room, Scott could be heard loudly yelling, "No!". Following the presser a reporter from the NY Times posted his picture online and asked if anyone could identify him in connection with his attempt to a silence April Ryan. Scott actually replied, and so did April, and she used twitter to take Scott to school.
The comments are just what you'd expect.

(1,752 posts)reporter to be asking. How bout:
are you a white supremacist
a neo-nazi sympathizer
a sexist
a narcissist
an incestuous pediophile
a clinically obese person
a homophobe
a racketeer and money launderer
Im not sure what kind of answer these reporters thought they would get.
I say this as someone totally in support of confrontation as an act of resistance or protest. But a reporter is not in that role... not usually. But on the other hand - these are strange times.

(132 posts)A Pro-Trump pastor is an oxygen-deprived moron.
And reporters need to be made of steel and protected by industrial-strength prophylactics, too.

Does anyone know what the Christian analog for Sharia law might be?
