The article cites sentencing for the last of 89 defendents but says he was fiund guilty on March 20, and also mentions the 2015 conviction of one of the others. Bizarre, but absolutely typical of Trump's dishonesty to try to claim credit where none is due, if this is what he is referring to.


Edit: this refers to Mopinko's post # 7

Huckabee Sanders, maybe....probably. Lewandowski, for sure.

This is their moment of reckoning. Join with POTUS and forever be connected to this historical act of treachery.

...so much for MSM reports tonight that the WH was 'stunned' at his remarks.

They own the radical right.

"The Furher asks us to rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty"...yet he remains an asshole. He claims that the white supremacists were the victims in Charleston, always playing the victim, always jumping on the "poor oppressed me" bandwagon. His speech was a big fat public wink and nod to the fascists of our day, and a fat little finger pointed at those who oppose facism.

I am sick of these "scripted talking points" aka lies and the republicans that repeat them need to be humiliated and forever known as trump supporters!

Sloganeering, too. What is this "Rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that brings us together as Americans"? Whoever came up with that line must be very proud to have included it again in this memo.
