Discussion: 'The President Is Not A White Supremacist': Mulvaney Defends Christchurch Response

Yaweh I wish they’d gone with “Global Climate Change”, rather than “Global Warming”. We could then just smile and say “Told you so…”

Where does Trump find these flacks? Eric would be a more credible spokesperson for Donald. These RNC has beens, ChristianPhobics and Faux News rejects just compound his image problems.

I don’t think anybody else wants the job.

This is rich. Trump defends Jeanine Pirro (previous article), now Muvaney defends Trump.

Who will defend Mulvaney? . . . . anyone?

The sad truth is that Donald is less hypocritical and more tolerant them most Republicans. That’s really sad considering how bigoted we know Trump is. The Conservative Movement is rotten to the core. The Republican Party is as corrupt as it gets.

But if you took the job, you should do a better job than this.

The kid with the MAGA hat and smirk?.

Yeah but like most people, I wouldn’t work for the man. He winds up with flacks and hacks and has beens and rejects because those are the only people stupid and desperate enough to work for him.

“The President is not a white supremacist, I’m not sure how many times we have to say that.”

You need to say it at least as many times as he has defended them. You’re way behind, Mick old boy. Get cracking.

Bet Mulvaney can’t say the quote 3 times fast without dropping the first not.

The President Is Not A White Supremacist

Whatever you do, don’t believe your lying eyes and ears. And while we’re at it, war is peace, despair is hope, up is down, and catching syphilis with bone spurs is more courageous than being a war hero.

Just wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page…

“… many of those “Independents” are actually solid Republicans who will vote for Trump…”

I was going to say the same. “Independents” lean GOP or DEM.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

“What do you want the President to do?”

He is the fucking president, and you are his fucking COS, and you are asking a news reader to tell you what to do?

You’ve seen the President stand up for religious liberty, individual liberty,” Mulvaney responded. “The President is not a white supremacist, I’m not sure how many times we have to say that.”

That you are having to say it over and over and that millions of people worldwide mysteriously believe it to be so surely has some significance. We understand that the cowardly drips in Trumps orbit are reluctant to try to reign him in…that doesn’t mean other people can’t see what is manifesting before their eyes…it is bad enough that we see and hear the horrific rhetoric emanating from Trump and the feeble minds that parrot his misguided screeds…we don’t have to accept his worldview, for the time being,we can oppose him fervantly until conditions change and leadership is restored in the WH.

His mommy?

And he needs to lose the glasses. He looks like some kind of asshole Harry Potter!

Matt – and most of the rest of the media – ignored Chris Wallace’s question, and thus ignored that Mulvaney’s reply was a non-answer to the question.

Wallace:

I agree the president is not responsible for this, but has he considered, given the fact that some people seem to feel that he has given them cover, has he considered giving a major speech condemning anti-Muslim white supremacist bigotry? To the degree that there is an issue with white supremacists, white nationalists, anti-Muslim bigotry in this country — and there is an issue with that — why not deliver a speech condemning it?

Mulvaney’s immediate response:

[stammers a bit, then] You’ve seen the Prsident stand up for religious liberties, i-individual liberties, you – the Prsident is not [starts laughing] a white supremacist. I’m not sure how many times we have to say that."

Huh?

At the risk of belaboring the obvious:

  1. Wallace did not ask if the White Supremacist In Chief was a white supremacist.

  2. Mulvaney never answered Wallace’s actual question – what would be wrong with delivering a speech condemning white supremacism?

  3. Wallace gave Mulvaney all the cover he should have needed – hey, Mick, he’s not a white supremacist, but hey, there do seem to be some folks who, um, “misunderstand” him, so wouldn’t it be a good idea to correct the record and condemn WS unequivocally?

  4. Mulvaney makes the claim that Individual-1 “stand[s] up for ‘religious’ liberties” – hmm, religious, huh? Yeah, that’s a dodge. Sure, “religious” liberties for the particular brand of white Christian Taliban who are his base. Muslims? Jews? I’ve never heard that.

Of course Individual-1 could never do that, not without losing a significant chunk of his base, who do seem to believe (however, um, “mistakenly”) that he’s a WS, and they also seem to approve of that fact.

Revealing that Mulvaney found it necessary to disclaim a question that was never asked, an “accusation” that was never made.

I’m not a journalist. It’s journalists who should be pointing this out.
