by this distractive and diversionary BS to try to make PoC believe we are safe in a bannon presidency....don't be lulled..they hate PoC...even with their tokens spewing their BS. Mark Walter is a joke....and a racist bannon-trump supporter and an avowed opponent of President Barack Obama and ACA. Going to talk and assuage black intellectuals so the roundup of PoC can be perped as a surprise.....God, the GOP deserves to be hated...period.
