Trump advisor: Maybe a ‘backdrop of a burning car’ would reach black voters better

Donald Trump surrogate former Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) had some trouble explaining away his candidate’s latest statements about African Americans while speaking to a Michigan rally.
Trump told a predominantly white rally crowd in a 93 percent white town that black Americans have been decimated by Democrats and he’ll win 95 percent of their vote. Trump is currently polling lowest among African-American voters. The internet quickly erupted with outrage and mockery.
“He’s polling right now at 2 percent with African-American voters,” CNN host Brianna Keilar said. “Is that the right way to attract a voting block that obviously favors Hillary Clinton much more than him?”
Kingston maintained that the campaign’s internal polls show Trump doing better than two percent. “But the reality is he’s going there and he’s taking it to them. He’s giving them a proposal. He’s saying, ‘You know what? I’m interested, I went to Milwaukee, I’m here tonight, I want to talk to you,'” he said. At his speech in the Milwaukee suburbs, Trump slammed the black protesters in Milwaukee protesting in the streets.
Keilar jumped in, “I have to stop you because you said he’s going there. He’s not, he’s in Diamondale, which is 93 percent white. When he was in Milwaukee the other day, it was part of Milwaukee that wasn’t dealing — I mean he, it’s almost completely white”

August 18th, 2016 - Joined by friends from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, Atty. Irv Joyner and Democracy North Carolina Executive Director Bob Hall, address the attempts by Republican leaders in North Carolina to ignore the ruling of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals by continuing their efforts to restrict voting rights in the state.
"...I’m interested, I went to Milwaukee, I’m here tonight, I want to talk to you (Ed. [font color="red"]white people[/font]),'”
Fixed.
Trump and his minions are very Nixonian.

Via the New York Times:
"The Jews have certain traits," he said. "The Irish have certain -- for example, the Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks. Particularly the real Irish."
Nixon continued: "The Italians, of course, those people course don't have their heads screwed on tight. They are wonderful people, but," and his voice trailed off.
A moment later, Nixon returned to Jews: "The Jews are just a very aggressive and abrasive and obnoxious personality."
Nixon also gives the opinion that blacks will only strengthen the country in a term of 500 years, not the 50 years suggested by his aide, who must have "somewhat sort of a blind spot on the black thing because he's been in New York." Nixon says blacks need much longer, and it will only work if the good ones are "frankly, inbred." Frankly.
