....and condemned by everyone else.

The President of the United States just made it clear, in case anyone was still unsure, that he is in fact a racist.

Hey @IvankaTrump, your father just defended people who would murder your children if they could.

I would like someone to show Trump the VICE reported piece in which that Nazi creep sneered at Trump for "letting his daughter marry a Jew."

Slippery slope arguments are good and real, as evidenced by our current 100% tax rate and constitutional right to marry ducks.
