to people who love him that he was going to go mow down some folks in the name of White Supremacy. What a weak coward. Just a member of a hateful mob.

She was lying and acting like she didn't know but then said trump isn't a racist.

She also didn't appear disturbed or troubled in any way at what he did.

She wasn't even flummoxed. That wasn't normal to my eyes.

Not necessarily hers or her son's mind you, but the way that was staged (her sitting there in a wheelchair) and her words made it seem she'd been professionally guided.

history teacher said he was pro Nazi in 11th grade. He said he wrote history papers that were well researched and well written but were written praising Hitler. My guess that didn't come out of nothing I'm sure he was nurtured that way!

Trump would be ill advised to use his pardon power for this killer, but I doubt that alone would stop him.

Who knew it was this disgusting and openly violence promoting?

Facebook needs to do something about this.

It was odd in the lack of reaction she had to the news her son was involved in a horrible crime that led to the death of a young woman. I can only imagine the horror and despair I would feel if I were in her place. How can someone be so devoid of emotion, so lacking in human decency? I hope more will be revealed about her soon so we can understand her reaction.
