Fox News Loses Their S*** After Rachel Maddow Calls Trump Gateway Drug For KKK

http://newcenturytimes.com/2016/07/23/watch-fox-news-loses-their-s-after-rachel-maddow-calls-trump-gateway-drug-for-kkk-video/

After Donald Trump’s bleak dystopian speech at the Republican National Convention, in which he painted himself as America’s golden savior, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow opined on how white supremacists like David Duke are finding traction among Trump’s supporters. Maddow said:
“(A) lot of people who are critical of Donald Trump generally look at praise like that from someone like Donald Duke and wonder if he’s a gateway drug, if there is something beyond Donald Trump himself, that means a much greater transformation of the Republican Party into something that is going to be new to mainstream politics.”

Ever the loyal Trump lapdogs, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and his Neo-con protégé, Ryan Girdusky from Red Alert Politics, spent an entire segment trying to figure out why their master’s speech drew such resounding criticism from the “Liberal media.”

In fact, they both seem shocked and disgusted at the backlash directed at Trump’s speech. Girdusky claimed that:
“The journalists at the Washington Post didn’t ‘have to worry about illegal immigrants killing their kid, if they have children, at over-flooded public schools.’ ‘They’re better than that now.’ (That being the Ohio neighborhoods that they lived from (sic)).”

The two men sat and growled about the liberal “elites” inability understand the dangers Trump warned about and begrudged the media for mentioning Trump’s close association with white supremacists.
