It's nothing really.

How many of you believe that a jackass statement by an old guy on a golf cart is the most important thing in your life right now?



I'll bet none of you.

Wait what... ? that’s what people are upset about?


I hadnt seen it prior to reading multiple threads on it on here. I pictured a KKK rally with several hundred people yelling the phrase while burning crosses.

Boy was i dissapointed. Finally saw it and all it turns out is some old blue hair saying it to another blue hair then some miserable old hag using language I never thought I'd hear from a grandmother.

You’re so easily triggered.

The only takeaway from that video was an old dude yelling white power?


How am I triggered? I didn't take down the tweet nor call for it to be taken. Re-read what I wrote. I have no particular feelings one way or the other with the video. It's some random old dude that I'll never meet screaming "white power" at another old dude I'll never meet. I'm aware that that sentiment exists in this country and, so what.
The issue as I stated before is that someone on Trump's team saw this clip and thought it would be a good idea to call the guy screaming white power a "great" person in Trump's voice. That the administration and/or campaign removed the tweet is evidence enough that the administration and/or campaign think retweeting this video and calling the guy screaming white power a "great" person in Trump's voice was on second thought a bad idea.

Which is all to say your beef is either with the administration and/or campaign for taking it down or with the same for tweeting it out in the first place. As it turns out, they have twitter account, take it up with them.

I suppose much of the traction had to do with a retweet from a certain account with 80 million followers. The really interesting part is that the account that Trump retweeted is clearly a dyed in the wool liberal account.

Yep, "republican" posters have been melting all morning because an old dude was baiting protesters with a "white power" They had a David Dorn sticker on the cart. Bunch of pansies on this board.

Trump has to know that he can't retweet something like that, as it is instantly a big piece of ammunition for the left to use against him. Now they can not only continue to claim he is a racist, but they will have the fact that he retweeted that video as "evidence" of their claims (not that I believe he is actually a racist).

My guess is that the account probably constantly tweets at Trump.

That lady is an unhinged lunatic.

Imagine the outrage in the media if a republican berated a golf cart parade of Biden supporting seniors like that

LOL.

Wait, THAT was the tweet?

LOL at all you idiots saying "this seals it, he's racist".

The LCD and their media know what will work. Don't blame them.

See, you appear to be misunderstanding what I am saying. My point is that he gave them free ammo to use against him. I'm not claiming that he is a racist, but I know they'll use it to support their claims that he is a racist.

They are going to call him a racist no matter what. You don't think they are going try to dig up 50 more examples of him being a racist? They will have people coming out saying he said the N word if this video got tweeted or not. Melting about this now is just dumb. You won't make it till November.
