Trumper can't believe MAGA includes white supremacists [Audio]
Jeff from Chicago started out arguing that re-naming Army bases for confederate generals wasn't really racist, but then meandered into other ridiculous claims about "both sides."
Some Friday fun. And I've got to give you an “F bomb” warning here, as I let out a few in this clip.
Maybe I should have been more measured—you’re welcome to tell me that—as Jeff from Chicago was a polite enough guy. But yeah, I just had to unleash on his “both sides” bullshit.
On my SiriusXM program, I was discussing Donald Trump’s insane action in re-naming Army bases for Confederate generals, even though Congress voted overwhelmingly in 2020—and then overrode Trump’s veto—to change the names.
The Trump administration is getting around the law by renaming the bases for other people who just happen to have the same name as the Confederate slave owner generals!
As The New York Times explained:
For example, Fort Eisenhower in Georgia, honoring President Dwight D. Eisenhower — who led the D-Day landings during World War II — would revert to the name Fort Gordon, once honoring John Brown Gordon, the Confederate slave owner and suspected Ku Klux Klan member. This time around, however, the Army said the base would instead honor Master Sgt. Gary Gordon, who fought in the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia.
I explained how this showed how devoted MAGA is to white supremacy.
That was when Jeff from Chicago called.
He explained that he is “somebody from the right,” and said, “I don’t really believe its white supremacy.”

I then asked him to explain to me what it is then. Gave him enough time to lay it out. He went around in circles but couldn’t explain it—even as he claimed he didn’t agree with re-naming the bases again for Confederate soldiers.
Then he tried out the “both sides are horrible” rhetoric, claiming all presidents, Democrats and Republicans, have been rich people that just want to trample on “all of us” and they’re all trying to “divide us.” That’s when I kind of blew my stack, as I just had to give him a history lesson on Bill Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s upbringings and how, in fact, only Republican presidents of the last 60 years have been super-rich.
Jeff then stated that that may be true, but the Democratic presidents went to college, and thus weren’t “blue collar, like you and me.”
What? So now the only normal, real Americans are blue-collar? Even if people grew up poor and put themselves through college? I called him a “blue-collar snob” and got rid of him. Listen in and let me know your thoughts!
I have come to firmly believe that every trump supporter is a racist Nazi. And if not that, they are ignorant pathetic UnAmerican cowards
I read that the National Portrait Gallery director resigned after being targeted by felonpotus for "anti-American" rhetoric. Her crime? She has spoken about racial and gender inequality. No more free speech unless you parrot the maga lines. Every single institution, corporation, non-profit, media, state agency, schools, anything that gets any federal funding at all, must "align with the president's goals", that is, white supremacy, and supporting a Republican dictator in power. No federal agency will have oversight for corruption or fraud. Congress is merely a rubber stamp. Judges are ignored if a ruling displeases the felonpotus. Every federal agency is being run by sycophantic, sociopathic, fpotus cronies, and they all must subordinate their agency's direction to him and his Project 2025 handlers. Blue states are not the only states that will receive no federal funding, including disaster relief. Even red states are currently receiving no hurricane, tornado or flood relief. This regime has no interest in helping or serving the 98% of us non-millionaires. Taxpayer dollars are supposed to line the pockets of fpotus and cohorts, according to fpotus policies. The spin denying this on right-wing media is all pervasive propaganda. They say fpotus is a true patriot and has no interest in enriching himself as president. That is a bald faced lie.
