The Congressional Black Caucus, en masse, is ripping Trump a jagged new one!

MSNBC. One by one every last one of them is taking the microphone and letting him have it. They are mad, they are strong, and they are not holding a single thing back.

I hope this backbone is contagious.

Conyers? on the implication that only European-Americans are qualified to be president. He expanded fully on this theme, and imo he is completely right. He spoke of the many Americans who are not of European descent and how Trump's foundational lie is aimed at all of them as well.

This is a great, great event.

I tuned in just in time -- and I know his face very well, but I'm sick and not very functional today.

Whereas every single one of the Repubs who ran for president, Trump most of all, makes me cringe with shame that they represent my country too.

They always manage to speak out even when others are afraid to. I think John Lewis helped inspire that spirit in them that he in turned learned about from MLK.
