Alabama Shows Just Who Are Trumps Supporters, And It's Not A Pretty Sight....

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by TexasTowelie (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

Article Shared from Daily Kos:

These are the kinds of people that we are dealing with. This is the kind of political movement Donald Trump is attempting to build. We cannot allow it to succeed.




This was not an isolated incident. It was yelled out multiple times by people in the crowd, repeatedly, you can check for yourself by re-watching the rally, or by glancing through comment threads from websites where people were watching the rally and searching for the term "white power". For example:

It's the third or fourth time I've heard it

Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel, who is shadowing the campaign sarcastically noted this morning that his interviews with citizens of Alabama are “going well so far,” with a local farmer telling him: “You probably think we’re prejudiced, but my whole life we had n***rs work for us in the field. And they were n**rs. My daddy called them n**rs. I’m not ignorant. That’s just the way I was raised. There’s black people and there’s n***rs. You live around here, you know the difference.”

So wonder how this guy felt when the racist epithet was yelled multiple times at the Rally.....



Oh, never mind as he was likely P-A-I-D to be there anyway.....

and noticed that one black guy behind tRump. He sat there motionless when the crowd around him clapped and cheered. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he was paid to be in the picture.

"Clapping and cheering were not part of the deal."

We watched that too and came up with the same conclusion. If the "Random African-American Guy Behind Trump in Alabama" was really there to support Trump, why didn't he clap, yell, nod his head in support or whatever venom Trump phewed out of his mouth or anything else. This guy was stiff as a bird the whole time.
