GOP is more likely to vent 'personal disgust' for Trump after Charlottesville

Ninety years ago, President Donald Trump's father was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan march in New York City.

Forty-four years ago, the Trump family's real estate company was accused by a Republican-run U.S. Justice Department of discriminating against blacks. The company settled.

Twenty-eight years ago, Trump publicly called for capital punishment after five black youths were charged with a crime of which they were later cleared. "Maybe hate is what we need if we're going to get something done," he told a television interviewer.

Six years ago, Trump sought to discredit the legitimacy of America's first black president. He spread the fabricated suggestion that President Barack Obama was born abroad and not, in fact, American.

1. Nice recap, spanone - thanks for posting - "Maybe hate is what we need if we're going to

get something done" - he can't make himself any clearer than that, eh?

2. I doubt they have much disgust over this. The GOP is mean and will do nothing

but support him. Business as usual. If we want them to do anything ever we have to do what the Resistance did with the ACA. All people need to get off their asses and do something and not be complacent.

RESIST! Peace.

3. ...

Republicans who are calculating the possible political costs are finding it harder to stay silent.

He could have ended the article there. It's not the racism they object to. It's the racism without the carefully nurtured dog whistles the GOP has used for decades - that could cost them politically - that they object to.

of public and private disgust, because they are altogether disgusting.
