Racist In Chief: Earlier today President Donald Trump retweeted a video of an elderly Trump supporter riding in a golf cart and screaming “White Power.”
President Trump tweeted, “Thank you to the great people of The Villages” on Sunday morning in response to a video of protesters verbally clashing with Trump supporters — including one man who yelled “white power” while passing in a golf cart.
On Sunday morning — before making the 271st visit to one of his golf courses during his presidency — Donald Trump retweeted a video he said is from the Villages, a retirement community in Florida, in which a man driving a golf cart with Trump campaign posters is seen and heard yelling “white power.”
In his retweet of the video, Trump declared:
Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!
CNN notes that the video Trump retweeted, and then deleted, “appears to be from a June 14 parade organized by the Villagers for Trump club.”
In a statement, White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere issued a non apology after the repulsive retweet was taken down:
President Trump is a big fan of the Villages. He did not hear the one statement made on the video. What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters.
As one might imagine, many were quick to denounce Trump’s racism. For example:
Bottom line: President Donald Trump retweeted a video of an elderly Trump supporter riding in a golf cart and screaming “White Power.”
