Beto O'Rourke: President Donald Trump is a white nationalist

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democratic presidential candidate and El Paso, Texas, native Beto O'Rourke said that President Donald Trump was a white nationalist after a mass shooting in El Paso on Saturday left 20 dead and a separate rampage hours later killed nine more in Dayton, Ohio.

CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday asked O'Rourke, a former El Paso congressman: "Do you think President Trump is a white nationalist?"

"Yes. I do," O'Rourke said on CNN's "State of the Union." The Democrat also referenced Trump's record of insulting Mexicans as "rapists" and describing asylum seeking migrants as an infestation.

"The things that he has said both as a candidate and then as the President of the United States, this cannot be open for debate," he said.

[Mr.Bill]

1. Incorrect.

Trump is not a White Nationalist. He is a White Supremacist.

5. pretty much the same shit

[Mr.Bill]

6. Not really.

A White Nationalist thinks the country should be run by white people.

A White Supremacist thinks non white people are genetically inferior.

One can be both, though.

2. I was really impressed with Beto's interview on CNN.

He laid out exactly how Trump’s words have led to this. When asked about whether Trump was a White nationalist, Beto hesitated and I braced myself for a nuanced response. When he simply said yes I was both surprised and impressed. All Democratic candidates should be as bold and clear that this issue lies at the feet of Donald Trump and his enablers.

3. That's the way to attack this bastard.

Call him exactly what he is without mincing words.

4. I personally was very impressed by his statement. It is a shame...

...that in these times one can be impressed when someone tells the truth, but when they do so, it's refreshing.

7. White nationalist/supremacist is much more potent that "racist"

I wish all the Dems would stop calling him a racist and call him a white nationalist or supremacist. Racist is over used at times and people tend to get numb to that word, so white nationalist is much more potent.

8. Of course, his base thinks thats a compliment.

oy.

9. Good for Beto

It's time to call this shit out for what it is.

10. Beto will go far in the Democratic Party. nt
