Trump: Boy, competition for VP slot is getting tougher by the minute.
really? do these clowns EVER get tired or listen to themselves? 
Perfect summation of how out of touch they are.
He is the problem for failing to see the issue - but that is just so white of him isn’t it,
He is an ardent Second Amendment supporter known for wearing a pin that forms tiny handcuffs.
He would cause far fewer problems if his state insurance would pay for penis enlargement surgery.
A month ago he said this:
Republican Rep. Tony Cornish of Vernon Center faced backlash Wednesday over commentary where he offered advice on “how to reduce the use of force by police.”
Cornish, chairman of the House Public Safety and Crime Prevention Policy and Finance Committee, laid out his advice in a letter to the editor published Wednesday by the Star Tribune.
Among the advice offered was: “Don’t be a thug and lead a life of crime so that you come into frequent contact with police.” In another bullet point, he wrote “Don’t flap your jaws when the police arrive. Don’t disobey the requests of the police at the time. If you think you are wrongfully treated, make the complaint later.”
He ended his letter by saying: “Here endeth the lesson. No charge.”
Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis NAACP, decried the letter, saying its use of the word “thug” was a coded reference to black men.
“I’m disgusted that one of our state legislators would feel comfortable writing a racially-charged op-ed that reinforces negative stereotypes about African-Americans,” she said.
Here’s his districts profile…
I challenge him to go driving somewhere with his wife in a car with a broken taillight.
Made possible by two people: Gerry Mander and Jim Crow
He sure dresses like a “southern gentleman”, or “colonel look” for a MN guy.
Where are the Republican leaders to condemn this rhetoric? Ryan? Romney? Bush? McConnell? Oh wait! They are not leaders, merely whores using race. Sickening!
Democrats need to come out strong against this racism and push, push, push for gun control.
I was going to say, where does one even acquire such fine 19th Century dress?
I wish that Texas gun man would have obliged John Cornish instead of the Dallas cops :’(
Actually, this shows how far Cornish will go to please certain people. Namely, all the good white people of Minnesota, the Bachelor Farmer Minnesota Nice types. As a (non-native) resident of Minnesota, I apologize to the world for some of our provincial types.
save the money… he’s already proven he’s a big dickhead…
A culture where guns are seen not as the last resort but as the go to solution, GOP politicians deep in the pocket of the NRA, the dramatic militarization of police forces nationwide with an attitude of us against them rather than an attitude of serving the public, a culture of fear among conservative whites that manifests itself in cowardly pant-shitting and finally an attitude on the part of some whites that ALL African-Americans are potentially criminals. (Not all whites believe this, not the majority of whites, just some. But enough to make this a real problem and a much higher proportion among white police officers.)
Finally when someone accuses another person of ‘playing the race card’, the accusation IS ‘playing the race card’.
Shamu has offered to serve as an organ donor.
When the cops actively embrace this “us vs. them” mentality, it’s really no surprise that shit like these last few days happen.
The cops are Public Servants, not enforcers or overlords or anything else.
When one’s mind is stuck in the 1850s, one will have an eye for dressing like such a bastar…er gentleman.
Representative Cornish: The 1800’s would like their clothing (and your mindset) back…
