Elizabeth Warren: Trump should not 'wink and nod and smile' about white supremacy

[BeyondGeography]

ashington(CNN) Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Sunday said President Donald Trump should not "wink and nod and smile" about white supremacy in the wake of two mass shootings in the US in the span of 13 hours -- one massacre that involved a white supremacist suspect.

"White supremacy is a domestic terrorism threat in the same way that foreign terrorism threatens our people," the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN's Don Lemon on "CNN Tonight." "And it is the responsibility of the President of the United States to help fight back against that. Not to wink and nod and smile at it and let it get stronger in this country."

...Reacting to Trump's remarks Sunday, Warren said "Donald Trump has created plenty of space for hate. He is a racist. He has made one racist remark after another. He has put in place racist policies. And we've seen the consequences of it."

Hate crimes are up around this country," Warren added. "And people who are hateful feel like they are now empowered. They are protected. They celebrate this President."

1. I 'wink and a nod' about shopping. That is what made me an energetic

sales person. I would get giddy and pull out things and get people to try on jewelry and take china out of boxes to show customers. It would all be a mess that i had to put back together but i work hard when i work so that was fine by me. The understanding was i would help them shop if they were game. I sold alot of china sets because they were a good buy that way. I don't really see something like the presidency a 'wink and a nod' type job when something is seriously wrong with the country. Unless that lack of gun control is a pursued specific policy goal to thin out the herd so poor people don't make it to medicare and vote well into old age. That is what 'a wink and a nod' means if Trump only pays lip service tomorrow at 10:00 AM to gun safety.
