Speaker of the House Paul Ryan agreed that Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s recent comments about an US judge of Mexican heritage are “sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” Ttly. But whatevs: Ryan still supports the orange beacon of the GOP, because party unity etc. Ryan is pretty much admitting that a) party unity and remaining in power is more important than other values and b) the conservative movement accepts, if not outright encourages racism.
It is so incredibly frustrating that this sort of incoherent bullshit is not only alive but still kicking.
Frustrating for me. Terrifying and dangerous for those who will actually be hit by a potential Trump presidency.
In addition to the racism: At what point does it turn into a constitutional issue when a Presidential candidate tries to discredit (and influence) a judge in this aggressive, public manner?
Thoughts?
