How come when its an arab who does it the same shitball president that you love calls them "terrorists?"
This is one of those silly disingenuous things. He said there were some good people on both sides. Not that all the people on both sides are good people. What's the point of you repeating that misrepresentation? I get that as a national narrative, the Demcorats want to paint the president as pro nazi murderer for voter turnout and confusing old ladies and such. But why do you say it to me? Do you think I'm going to be tricked? I assume you're not a confused old lady which means we both know your characterization of the remarks isn't real, and there isn't really an audience. So what's the motivation?
Trump on driver: "The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his country. You can call it terrorism. You can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want... And then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer, and what he did is a horrible thing."

Exactly. You don't want to put up with right wing bullshit. That's the point. This sort of nonsense helps the right gain/stay in power.
As a wise man once said: "Even outside the issue of sexual Harassment and sexual assault, I think sometimes liberals don't realize the cover they give to the far right by insisting on blanket solutions."
