"Get your guns out. Defend your way of life from the Black people."

Twitter users, did Trump REALLY tweet that? The article certainly makes it sound as if he did.

The white St. Louis couple that brandished guns at peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters in June will take the podium to promote Donald Trump's re-election.


Political messaging doesn't get any clearer than this.

With this invitation, Trump is declaring that the message he's been sending via Twitter to white homeowners is center stage in the GOP luminary lineup:

"Get your guns out. Defend your way of life from the Black people who are coming to take your house and rape your women."

I see what you're saying.

The 'tweets' being referred to are VERY thinly veiled suggestions of exactly what this author is saying. But he's not literally tweeted ... that.

4. just the usual white supremacist implicit terrorism.

they have barely coded ways of saying the it's evil to ask for equal rights
they have barely coded ways of saying that it's a god-given right to defend white male supremacy
they have barely coded ways of saying that it's good and proper for whites and men to kill to defend their privilege
and they're overt in saying that when anyone else acts like they do, it's terrorism.
