Trump supporter calls in: "I don't tweet," so I don't see Trump's racism.
Welcome to The Signorile Report, where you’ll read hard-hitting political commentary and exposés; find interviews with newsmakers; hear me “engage” with right-wingers who call my radio program; and connect with like-minded, passionate people everywhere committed to fighting for equality and helping each other out.
Mike From Washington claimed that Trump says a lot of “stupid things” but that he doesn’t pay attention to them.
Mike from Washington called my SiriusXM show to respond to Trump having retweeted a video of supporter chanting, “White power!”
Mike said “there’s a lot more to it than what’s really going on” regarding controversies involving Trump, and that he’s a Trump supporter but “I don’t support 100 percent of everything he does.”
He then professed ignorance of Trump’s racism because “I don’t tweet” and “I don’t have a Facebook page. I don’t do any of that stuff.”
When I explained to him that this was a cop out, he decided to then defend Trump’s racism, but again, making like he just was not informed. He asked, in trying to defend the “white power” chant, what about someone chanting, “Black power? That’s not the same?”
Yeah. Completely lame.
Mike then told me about “a very good friend of mine” who is black.
I’ll stop it right there, but there’s a lot more. Listen in. Let me know your thoughts.

At least his timbre was calm and civil, unlike most of the racist rabble that CONgregates in these 'chicken hawk coups' masquerading as Senior Citizen enclaves! The golden years come to mind along with an air of incontinence!
As Horace Greeley once quipped while tripping on acid, "Go South, Young CON"!
I laughed yesterday when his “good friend” was actually a co-worker he had a beer with. Not sure how he defines his actual friends but I can assure you he’s had more than A beer and they aren’t black.
For Mike and MANY others, they go with the Archie Bunker definition of not being racist: they live close to/work with/shop at a store with a sprinkle or less of African-Americans so they’re not racist. And they also aren’t racist against Asian Americans because they eat “Chinese” food on occasion. Ignorance is bliss!
