Trump: Drugs a"Very, Very Big Factor" in Charlotte Protests

More racist dog whistles from Trump.

"Less than a day after protests over the police killing of an African-American man turned violent in North Carolina, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump placed some of the blame for the turmoil on the impact of drugs.

"If you're not aware, drugs are a very, very big factor in what you're watching on television at night," said Trump in a speech to the Shale Insight 2016 Conference in Pittsburgh today."

Even somewhat smart politicians know you have to move to the middle in a general presidential election. But it's to our advantage that Rump is a dimwit.
