Trump Uses Eric Garner’s Dying Words To Mock Mitt Romney; His Supporters Roar With Laughter
Source: Addicting Info
Republican front-runner Donald Trump decided a visit to New York would be a good time to try out his comedy routine by delivering a stunningly tasteless joke at the expense of a man who had been recently killed nearby by New York police. “The last election should have been won, except Romney choked like a dog. He choked,” Trump said, before mocking Romney with his hands in a choke position. Trump shouted “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe,” mocking the last words of Garner, who died in police custody on July 17, 2014, when officers tried to arrest him for allegedly selling loose, untaxed cigarettes across from Tompkinsville Park. The moment stunned reporters on scene, but what was perhaps even more surprising was the response Trump got from his fans. Rather than find the idea of aping the words of a man who recently died just a few miles away repulsive, the crowd of Trump-heads roared with laughter. The mockery was the funniest thing they had ever seen.

10. I saw a Trump and Cruz supporter going at it
Normally I would say they both suck, but the Cruz supporter was wearing a Cruz shirt-, and two Trump fans were harassing him, saying Cruz isn't even a citizen and all.

3. Disgusting
I can't even imagine someone who says such things and the people who actually think such talk is funny.

5. His Orangeness is a vile POS. His braying supporters should know better than to cheer along with
this snake oil barker. But they don't. A portion of this country is just plain vile.

9. I can't believe this didn't go viral
This should be on the front page of every NY newspaper, and news stations should be reporting it everywhere. Even Republicans must disapprove of this.

11. This is just so outrageous
Let us all focus our outrage and energy on defeating Trump and Cruz or whichever stand-in the GOP conjures up.
I think most can tell that I am not a Bernie fan. But whatever. I reserve my true disgust for people who behave like this. And I recommend all of you do too. Pretend all you want about about the evil Hillary but here we have true evil. Trump and the GOP who support him are beyond disgusting as human beings. |

12. So - let's think strategically about this
It's beyond the pale. But what does it actually say about the man and his message and those he seeks to attract to him campaign.
Bernie has also been accused of alienating black voters. (Not that I am implying he would EVER say something like this) Just free associating here To win going forward the Democratic party has to reflect the diversity of the American electorate. National. Liberal. White. Pick two out of three to win. |
