Trump: Make America white again


Thanks to Daily Kos.

Kevin Drum:

...I barely even care about this kind of crap from Trump anymore. His repulsive bigotry has been obvious for a long time, and it’s not as if anyone can pretend not to see it.

What I do continue to care about is whether anyone from the Republican Party will say anything about this. Anything at all. Even a mild little rap on the knuckles.

Anyone?

Rob's comment:
No one yet, and it wouldn't surprise me if not a single Repug rebukes Trump for that. But I am a little surprised that Senator Cruz criticized Tennessee for honoring Nathan Bedford Forest.

Wikipedia on Forest

In April 1864, troops under Forrest's command massacred Union troops who had surrendered, most of them black soldiers along with some white Southern Tennesseans fighting for the Union, at the Battle of Fort Pillow...

After the Civil War, Forest was the first Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
