I am sitting here stunned at TRMS tonight.
She just explained, simply enough for anyone to understand, the myriad ways the white supremacist movement in this country is
- encouraged by
- connected to
- courted by
- embedded in
- exercising influence over
the highest echelons of the Republicon Party in general and the current President* in particular.
She laid out the argument masterfully and used DJT’s own words to great effect.
People watching this can no longer hide behind the idea that the blatant white supremacist racism of this presidency and the Republicon party is some kind of accident, or some kind of recent development.
So is it me?
Am I just having a wish fulfillment moment, imagining I saw more than I did?
Or is tonight’s TRMS broadcast a historic moment in journalism, not just for 2017 but for any era? A “have you no sense of decency” moment for DJT and his supporters in and out of elected government?
I am seldom at a loss for words but what I just saw was absolutely breathtaking.
Did you watch it? Did you have the same feeling?
Please talk amongst yourselves…
