A day after he refused to condemn white supremacists at the first presidential debate, President Trump unleashed a xenophobic attack on Representative Ilhan Omar at a rally in Minnesota Wednesday night, accusing her of telling us meaning his overwhelmingly white audience how to run our country.

I really wish the GOP congressmen and Fox commentators could stop pretending Trump's refusal to condemn white supremacists is an accident. Stop being "confused". Everyone knows exactly why he won't do it.

Grant too was a racist and was perpetually angry. If you didn't agree 100% with him, he'd shout on air "Get off my telephone!" He openly shared his white supremacy. His audiences ate it up. I have no doubt that Trump never missed a show.

no use to them anymore. So Omar is there new target and she will be good to hate for years and years.
