Too much has been read into that
Goodness, what a shameless liar Jeff Sessions is. He’s been trotting around the tv stations this morning to defend his boss, saying yes he did too so condemn white supremacy and racism and stuff.
“His initial statement on this roundly and unequivocally condemned hatred and violence and bigotry,” Sessions said of Trump on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “White supremacy was certainly included in bigotry and hatred.”
And so was anything else anyone cared to think of. That’s the problem. White supremacy didn’t need to be included, it needed to be singled out.
Pressed on Trump’s omission of any reference to such groups as neo-Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan, the attorney general said: “Too much has been read into that….He totally opposes those kinds of values.”
The hell he does, you lying rat. He loves those values, he embodies those values. Remember the birtherism; remember the Central Park 5; remember “bad hombres.”
“He made a very strong statement that directly contradicted the ideology of hatred, violence, bigotry, racism and white supremacy,” Sessions said. “Those things must be condemned. They’re totally unacceptable … He’s been firm on this from the beginning. He is appalled by this.”
No, he didn’t. That’s another lie. He didn’t say a word about racism and white supremacy.
Sessions of course is a racist himself.
It would be very simple – instead of having minions scrambling around doing damage control, all DJT needs to do is fire up twitter and explicitly distance himself from the KKK and specifically condemn white supremacist ideology. The fact that he has not done so speaks far louder than anything Sessions or Ivanka have said.
It must be embarrassing to have the job of cleaning up after the boss so much. Except I don’t think any of these people have a working sense of shame.
Honestly, of the two of them, I’m more inclined to regard Sessions as a ‘true believer’ in terms of their racism. He’s the one who actually works at designing and advancing racist policies. For Trump, racism is just another thing he’ll use to get praise from his followers. He’ll abandon the alt-right when he’s convinced it’ll help him more than it’ll hurt, just like he flirts with abandoning Sessions.
