Is President Trump a racist?
Anyone who knows the president and the people who surround him knows that that charge is far from the truth, but the media has had this ball in its court for some time, and it intends to play with it some more while it has the country’s attention.
In the wake of the violent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, there were politicians on both the Right and the Left who said that Trump didn’t go far enough in calling out the racist hate groups that were the cause of much of the conflict in that city. But as Trump clearly stated, they weren’t the only ones causing trouble that day. The president didn’t want to dignify these hate groups by specifying the names of each and every one of them; he simply condemned them across the board (as well as mentioning that those on the Left were also to blame for the violence). But this didn’t go nearly far enough for the politically correct media, which is obsessed with labeling Trump a racist.
Now, with the events in Charlottesville, there’s a lot more fuel for that fire. In this plainly biased clip, we can see African-American Pastor Darrell Scott of Ohio’s New Spirit Revival Center arguing with MSNBC’s Katy Tur over both the substance and timing of the president’s remarks.
For the record, a White House spokesperson did call out the white supremacist groups by name on the day following the incidents in Charlottesville, but for the mainstream media, this clearly wasn’t enough to take this boiling issue off the front burner of the media stove. Watch as Pastor Scott struggles to get a word in edge-wise over host Tur’s rambling interjections.
