White House adviser says people should stop criticizing white supremacists so much..

Lets not forget this was said 2 days ago...he and Bannon need to go



.
On Wednesday, Gorka lashed out at “at [New York Times reporter] Maggie Haberman and her acolytes in the fake news media, who immediately have a conniption fit” and brought up McVeigh. He added that “white men” and “white supremacists” are not “the problem.”

It’s this constant, “Oh, it’s the white man. It’s the white supremacists. That’s the problem.” No, it isn’t, Maggie Haberman. Go to Sinjar. Go to the Middle East, and tell me what the real problem is today. Go to Manchester.

these "republicans" from Congress and the WH for their Nazi ideology.

A Bush ethics lawyer no less ... carries weight.

Bannon, Gorka and other alt-rightists to be removed immediately from the White House.

Painter has been on Joy Reid's show quite a lot lately and has won my respect for being vehemently on the right side of racial, gender and religious issues despite being a Republican.

He doesn't bite his tongue at all in going after the racists that trump has installed in the White House.

Notice I didn't use the term "repug" which I most often do. Painter is part of the Republican party establishment and he seems determined to rid his party of the alt-right racists.

He even went to far as to say if trump doesn't remove this racist scum from his admin, he himself will be removed.

Trump is using false equivalence and saying a bunch of nothing. He needs to be impeached as a clear and present danger to America.

We cannot afford to treat them as another valid viewpoint.

Everyone deserving of the term human should be the enemy of every white supremacist, Nazi motherfucker on earth.

If we can't draw that line, then we don't deserve to exist.

So they no longer have justice department infiltrator insiders keeping an eye on them.
