(23,099 posts)1. The 2nd president Clinton has spoken. Check out Gothmogs post at DU Home.
She won. I am pretty sure we'll hear from Carter, not sure about GW. He's pretty heinous himself but has rebuked the racial hatred spewed by Cheetolini before, I think.

A look back at Trump comments perceived by some as encouraging violence
By MEGHAN KENEALLY
President Donald Trump on Thursday praised a congressmans past assault on a reporter, making it the latest example where he appears to encourage or support violence.
In the latest instance, Trump referenced Rep. Greg Gianfortes 2017 attack on a reporter by saying that any guy who can do a body slam, he is my type!
In Trump's own words "Even in elementary school, I was a very assertive, aggressive kid," Trump wrote in the bestseller. "In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled.
In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the day of the Iowa caucuses, for instance, he told audience members he would pay their legal fees if they engaged in violence against protesters.
At a Las Vegas rally later that month, he said security guards were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," Trump said. "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."
A similar situation unfolded at a rally that month in Warren, Michigan.
"Get him out," he said of a protester. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it."
"Please don't be too nice" to suspects, Trump tells police
Trump seemed to encourage police to be more violent in handling potential offenders during a speech to law enforcement officers in July 2017.
On July 2, 2017, Trump shared the doctored video, from a 2007 WWE skit in which he is seen taking down WWE owner Vince McMahon. In the version Trump shared, McMahon's face is blocked by the CNN logo. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/back-trump-comments-perceived-encouraging-violence/story?id=48415766
