as allegations of ally's antisemitism surface

Antisemitism? He straight up called himself a Black Nazi.

I hope he takes Trump down with him in North Carolina.

18 ( +21 / -3 )

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday decried antisemitism hours after an explosive CNN report detailed how one of his allies running for North Carolina governor made a series of racial and sexual comments on a website where he also referred to himself as a “black NAZI.”

Yes, a lot of that online posting will come back to bite you and Robinson is not the Teflon Don. Pretty sure he is going down. AS the rest of MAGA should.

he called Robinson “Martin Luther King on steroids” in reference to the civil rights leader, for his speaking ability.

It is foul how the right misuses Dr. King's legacy, since he called out the socialism for the rich of which Trump is an exemplar and the constant red-baiting and racial demonization Trump does to Harris.

Well, North Carolina will have a Democrat governor.

"North Carolina’s Republican gubernatorial nominee, Mark Robinson, referred to himself as a “black NAZI!” on a pornography website’s message board, according to a new CNN report about the current lieutenant governor who has already been marked by scandal and controversial comments."

Doesn't he know the Nazis killed Blacks in their ovens? Thousands of US Black servicemen were killed fighting the Nazis. Does he have a Confederate flag in his garden?

Can Donald Trump turn water into wine, at the same time "walk on water" to find his golf balls?

Can Donald Trump feed America with five loaves and two fishes, cure the infirm, make the blind to see?

Nope.

Donald Trump is not going to politically diplomatically perform miracles.

Donald Trump will offer the policies that brings hope, deregulation, investment, jobs,.

For parents, the right to decided how there children are educated, taught in their schools.

If you have to, hold your nose, vote for Trump.

Sounds like a real charmer.

MAGA types posting trash under different names isn’t anything new.

I wonder who they get this idea that it’s okay to let your standards slip to pathetic levels from? Who could be the role model?

A mystery indeed.

“My promise to Jewish Americans is this: With your vote, I will be your defender, your protector, and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House,” Trump said during the donor event in Washington, titled “Fighting Anti-Semitism in America.”

“But in all fairness, I already am,” Trump added.

Oh indeed...just look at his record...

Talking about his Trump Org "green eye shade wearing Jewish accountants"...

Saying some Neo-Nazis are "fine people"...

Interesting way of fighting anti-Semitism....

He can be so forgiving to the vilest people and refuse to turn the cheek when it doesn't cost him a thing. He has never once "turned the cheek" as Christians preach that Jesus teaches them to do.

8 ( +10 / -2 )

If you plan to vote for Trump, you're a fool. And that applies whether you're black, white, Jewish, not Jewish, religious, not religious, whatever.

If you can't see through him, you're the mark, and he will stiff you as soon as you've served his purpose.

If someone votes for Trump and then starts whining when Trump inevitably turns on them, they deserve nothing less than to be laughed at. Openly and often.

13 ( +17 / -4 )

Mark Robinson claiming to be a Black Nazi would be the same oxymoron as him claiming to be a White Supramatist which the Nazis were.

11 ( +12 / -1 )

Jimizo, Trump age is against him, he will not persuade Ukraine/Russia to end this war in Europe.

What is so concerning about Kamala Harris campaign is the manner in which Harris is hiding form scrutiny.

Socialism is to inform an electorate that change will never provide a given, it is to also to inform that redistribution of wealth will take place.

It is not a game of hide and seek.

Yet Kamala Harris is evasive, refuses to stand by her ideology.

-11 ( +1 / -12 )

Oh indeed...just look at his record…

Yes

Talking about his Trump Org "green eye shade wearing Jewish accountants"...

and?

Saying some Neo-Nazis are "fine people"...

We looked into these claims, and found that while Trump did say there were "very fine people on both sides," meaning both the protesters and the counterprotesters, he also condemned neo-Nazis and white nationalists outright and said he was specifically referring to those who were there only to participate in the statue protest. We found the original clip on C-SPAN, and transcribed the relevant section below:

**Reporter:** Mr. President, are you putting what you're calling the alt-left and white supremacists on the same moral plane?

**Trump:** I am not putting anybody on a moral plane, what I'm saying is this: You had a group on one side and a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs and it was vicious and horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch, but there is another side. There was a group on this side, you can call them the left. You've just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. So you can say what you want, but that's the way it is.

**Reporter:** You said there was hatred and violence on both sides?

**Trump:** I do think there is blame — yes, I think there is blame on both sides. You look at, you look at both sides. I think there's blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it, and you don't have any doubt about it either. And, and, and, and if you reported it accurately, you would say.

Reporter:**** The neo-Nazis started this thing. They showed up in Charlottesville.

Trump:** Excuse me, they didn't put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group — excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you did — you had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status, are we gonna take down — excuse me — are we gonna take down statues of George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? Okay good. Are we gonna take down the statue? Cause he was a major slaveowner. Now are we gonna take down his statue? So you know what? It's fine. You're changing history, you're changing culture, and you had people — and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.**

Full context always matters.

Breaking bread at MAL with dinner guest Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes...

This administration broke bread with Al Sharpton, wonder how many Jews like him?

Interesting way of fighting anti-Semitism....

Well, he’s doing it and the left won’t help the Jewish students on our college campuses, so….

In first sentence says he's an "American"...

Yup!

In second sentence says he'd desert his country and throw in with the Mexican criminal drug cartels....

Over voting for the Marxist woman, yup!

Some patriot...

Yes, a very smart patriot at that.

Better make your reservation with the cartels now - might be too late when Harris beats Haley in Nov...

I don’t think I have to.

-20 ( +1 / -21 )

So Trump is a friend of the Jewish, but at the same time, a friend of white supremacist groups. He's against the suppression of Jews, but doesn't care about hatred against Blacks and other minorities. I see. He really is one to talk out of both sides of his mouth. How can anyone trust what he says? His sidekick Vance isn't any better either.

I can't help your lack of understanding of socialism, Marxism, and communism. A few hours with a Google search could help you.

Years ago I got to know some people who happened to be scientologists. That set me off on a journey to learn about the whole thing, and one of the many creepy-fascinating things I learned is that they used to have some kind of software which aimed to ensure the user never saw any negative press about Scientology.

This is probably how MAGA sees the internet, only they don't need software. Their minds are so addled that they simply refuse to see anything critical of Trump / the republicans. Black GOP guy calls himself a "black Nazi" and his name shows up on unsavoury sites? Never saw it. Trump suggests sticking UV light up your butt? Never saw it!

Liberals refuse to see anything good with Trump

Again with the liberal obsession. I've told you several times before that I'm not even America. But I'll say something positive about him. When in office, he signed a law against animal cruelty. I think that was a good thing to do. However, his faults outweigh that action by a mile.

the republicans. Black GOP guy calls himself a "black Nazi" and his name shows up on unsavoury sites? Never saw it.

If he didn’t then he didn’t

And if he transpires that he did it, you won't care, will you? You'll literally forgive anything a republican does.

Trump suggests sticking UV light up your butt? Never saw it!

Liz Warren claims to be Cherokee. Lol

What does Liz Warren have to do with Trump suggesting sticking UV light up your butt?

I know that MAGA people have the attention span of a goldfish and the reasoning skills of a newborn, but you're going to have to do better than that.

Sorry mate, we're not interested in silly deflections from the fact that Mark Robinson is a self-confessed "black Nazi" and Trump still supports him.

Absolutely hilarious the jam the GOP has itself in.

The Dems stick to their people as well. Look what Myorkas did to the nation, did he get fired? Nope. So the left can't say anything, talking about porn is more acceptable I feel than allowing 10 million illegals in and then lying to the public, nothing to see. Yeah, don't start that hypocrisy.

The Republicans invented hypocrisy.

Remember, your guy is in cognitive decline, which you criticized with Biden.

No, it is not my state, so NO, I don't care.

There we have it. A flat out acknowledgement that a republican candidate can call himself a "black nazi". On a p**n forum. And you're cool with that.

Were you not talking about outrageous claims? Well, there you go.

I don't think anyone has died from Liz Warren stating things about her ancestry. I can all but guarantee that some MAGA mope tried flashing UV up his rear, and the only thing he would have found is his speech center.

Because it's mostly liberals that have a problem with Trump.

Thank you Captain Obvious. That's about as revolutionary as saying "it's mostly Jewish people who have a problem with Hitler".

The statement was, that the US Congress doesn't have a Socialist member and they do, Bernie Sanders. So yes, we have one independent socialist in Congress who caucuses with the Democrats.

1) Trump is very racist: See his comments about Haitian immigrants for just the very latest example of his racism.

2) No one is saying he's responsible for them, but if he's not racist, why won't he retract his endorsement or criticize Robinson's comments? I think it's because he is racist, and that's also why he keeps finding himself surrounded by these types.

Facts, Not a fan of Vance but he at least make statements saying what someone like Laura Loomer said doesn't reflect his values. I wonder if it is because his wife hates him more and more after seeing how the Republican party is or if he feels sorry for Republicans because they made the wrong choice in choosing Trump. The world may never know

This is true, but only to people who consider Laura Loomer to be a vacant, evil harpy who will literally say anything in order to get ahead (and who will modify her appearance to the point that it's evident she suffers from extreme self-hate).

Unfortunately, there's a sizeable number of people in the US who think she's great for that very reason.

In some ways, Trump IS the president that the average American deserves.

"It's very funny he keeps surrounding himself with these kinds of people. How is he so bad at judging character? How does he keep attracting these nutjobs, and why won't he denounce them?"

It's a mystery all round because, on the other hand, why are Trump's supporters such a bad judge of character too? It's hard to believe they would vote for someone they would run out of their group as a blowhard and big head. Nuts voting for a nut who appoints and supports nuts. Life must be eternally unpredictable to them, and will be even more so when they realise how much they are just used and spat out by somebody who does that too.
