Another Trump racist remark goes viral...

Samantha Bee Just Responded to Trump’s Cinco de Mayo Post and It’s Hilarious

Samantha Bee just destroyed Trump’s hilariously transparent attempt to pander to Hispanic voters.

Trump began his bid for the White House by calling Mexicans rapists and killers, and he has since made them one of the chief scapegoats of his campaign.

As such, Trump and his supporters have been torn apart by political pundits and various people on social media after he posted the following Cinco de Mayo post on his various personal social media pages:

Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/10157008375200725:0
12:57 PM - 5 May 2016
Bee responded with a vengeance, posting a similar photograph and statement with a vicious satirical twist.

“The best taco bowls are made by hardworking immigrants who don’t like being called rapists by a rich prick,” Bee wrote in a Facebook post that has since gone viral. “I love inauthentic Mexican food!”

Based on the viral support this post has received, along with the generally disgusted reaction to Trump’s post on social media, it’s clear if Trump wants to garner support among the Hispanic community, he’s going to need to do more than express a fondness for tacos. http://usuncut.com/politics/samantha-bee-trump-hispanics/

These are not Freepers, messing with our posts or recommendations, by kicking Opening Posts that everyone has read, in front of new posts, to hide comments that[P.S. Chinese and Russian satellites are able to hear NSA agents laughing at my radio music, as I write] criticize Trump. A few Trump-Trolls have become entangled in FBI investigations, which involve foreign agents that deliberately post code, at DU, simply to discredit Democratic writers and candidates.

I don't know what is worse- that sentence, or thinking that a taco bowl is a Mexican dish.
