Donald Trump on Wednesday night falsely smeared Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as a “proud member of Hamas.”

The Republican presidential nominee made the insulting remark about the top-ranking U.S. Jewish official at a rally in Pennsylvania. It came on the same day that Trump separately sparked an angry backlash for questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial identity.

      What we have today isn’t journalism. Hardly anyone asks tough questions.

      Corporate control has turned most ‘news’ into propaganda machines for the owner class.

      Reagan crippled so many regulations and policies that protected honest journalism, that fucking rancid mega-assmaster.

    Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies keeps forgetting and says the quiet part out loud. He’s just too old and racist. He needs to drop out. He’s pathetic.

    He’s melting down. Just a matter of time before he says a slur in public. His fan base won’t care, but it’ll be enough to turn off fence-sitters and moderates.

      Normally I’d say there’s no way that he would have a slip of the tongue that egregious, but then I remember the several credible eyewitnesses that made statements saying that he used the n-word in private many times. I think if he really is struggling with his mental faculties, it’s possible he could slide right into a racist tirade without realizing his audience isn’t just some rich folk or old white advisor dudes who might share his views.

      i’m having a real hard time believing that anyone’s actually “on the fence” about whether to vote R or D at this point. i think they’re voting R and just don’t want to say it out loud

      This is pretty par for the course. He called Biden a Palestinian *a while back.

      *Was gonna say months ago but the time dilation on this campaign is ridiculous. Might’ve happened yesterday for all I can tell.

      I have a real hard time believing in a mythical voter who has no problem with “grab 'em by the pussy” but draws the line at the hard-r n-word.

          If they’re able to think that after all he’s done, they’ll find an excuse to ignore it just like everything else.

        I think open sexism is more normalized than open racism. There’s no “it’s just boys being boys” or “locker-room talk” description of dropping the n-word.

        At this pace I think it’s almost a guarantee. Every time he does an interview it gets worse somehow.

    This article is for anyone that thinks threatening to not vote ‘Democrat’, as if there was a choice, is fooling anyone.

    After watching Jon Oliver’s latest video on the West Bank I’d almost consider this a complement. Netanyahu is a bigger asshole than Trump and I didn’t think that was humanly possible.

      Unfortunately, you’re watching in real time Trump giving new lines to his legions of online weirdos.

        That’s the worst part. His cult take and echo his every thought as gospel, regardless of how insane they may be.

      This is about the 75th time I’ve heard this in the last 6 years.

      It’s worked out pretty well for him so far, sadly.

        Apart from losing the election, losing the insurrection, being found guilty, being impeached.

        He hasn’t faced real justice yet and peopke treat him with kid gloves, especially the media, but he is starting to face an emperors new clothes situation. That may not be recoverable.

        When he’s toxic, and association costs rather than benefits others, they wont be loyal either. Hell face the justice he deserved.

        But he’s always had control over the narrative in the media and he’s starting to lose it because his opponent is now much more coherent than he is.

    Seems Trump’s age related cognitive decline is making him mix up a Jewish member of the Senate with the terrorist group Hamas. Maybe Trump should drop out, he doesn’t seem fit for the job.
