Holy shit -- years after DNA evidence exonerated them, Trump suggests the Central Park 5 are guilty and refuses to apologize for saying they should be executed.

"You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt."

1. The shithead has one core election strategy: racism

Unfortunately, he is right about racism working; let's hope just up to a point.

Edited to apply "right" to elections.

2. White people want trump more than dem candidates now. Will it be more or less will accept racism

when it gets down to 2020 time?

5. He is not right...

forced, coerced confessions are not an admission of guilt.

11. You are correct

And it was racism all along.

3. DNA Schmee-N-A...are they still black? OK...well then, still guilty.

That's all his base needs to know.

What an f'ing asshat.

4. The truth is irrelevant.

It's just his way of saying, "I hate ******s!"

8. Absolutely disgusting

10. If Oberlin has to pay $40 million

for a dean handing out a few fliers printed by students, what should a president pay for calling five men exonerated rapists? He has the biggest bully platform in the nation.

12. Indicative of the mindset that opinions are the same as facts.

As well as racism being the determining bias in what facts will be accepted. Sprinkle in the ignorant distrust of science and the unquestioning belief that order (think white people dominant paradigm of what constitutes order - the them/us) and authoritarianism are good things.

We all know if Trump thinks if he decides something is true it must be true. We already know he is a racist. His supporters are the same way.

13. I feel like I could just have a bot reply "JFC. n/t"

to every tRump-related post.

There truly is no bottom for this abomination.

14. "evidence-based" is a banned phrase in the federal medical system.

It can't be used in reports , per my military doctor friend.

Evidence is the enemy of Trump.
