So how come you would think Trump is a bad guy for having people he has never met, doesn't know and could care less about say they like him as a candidate...
And not be more concerned about Hillary calling Byrd her "friend and mentor" when he wrote a letter to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo that said this:
"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."
Trump's never said that any KKK members were his "friends and mentors".
That would be like some serial killer saying: "I think Farell is great and I love HomeGrown" and having people take that and accuse YOU of being a serial killer.
The logic doesn't work. |
Disagree. Who likes or doesn't like you says a lot about the person. If those groups agree with Trump's racist statements then obviously they are in agreement in some measure of principle. Using your adult example, I can tell you from personal experience that the type of people that loved Max Hardcore's hardest stuff were most likely not into the vanilla stuff Homegrown is known for. Even Max himself would tell you that he has met a good number of his fans that creeped him out. I have yet to meet a Homegrown fan that wasn't just genuinely friendly.
Why do you keep bringing Hillary into this as if I am a fan of Hillary? She has been caught in enough lies and she is like the flip side of the same coin. She is all doublespeak and Trump is full of hate speech. Both raise serious concerns. I guess at the end of the day Hillary is the devil we know, and Trump is the devil I would rather not have as POTUS, but that by no means is a vote for her.
Are you seriously in such denial or naive to think there is not an issue with groups that far to the right endorsing him?
