"Trump Campaign Caught Lying"

In other news, dog bites man . . .

He is obviously an illegal immigrant to the campaign. They should build a wall or something.

None of this–either the racist posts, or lying about the termination–will matter a good goddam to the core Trump supporters. They just want somebody to act out their hatred of elites. The only thing Trump could do to lose his core would be to start talking about immigration in a reality-based fashion.

Isn’t Buzzfeed part of the lamestream media anyway?

Why do the ‘overzealous GOP campaign operatives’ always come in the Doughy Pantload variety?

rudesan · August 6, 2015, 5:15pm

Anyone else is employable.

I agree that this won’t effect the hardcore tRumpists, but for those who are looking at tRump as a successful outsider, these types of things prove what the rest of us knew- he’s no better and just as much a liar as those he’s running against.

So Trump isn’t about protecting the Borders?

In other breaking wall news, The Donald plans to build a wall around Planned Parenthood and make Mexico pay for it, and Fox plans to build a wall around the GOOP debate but Santorum will find a way to scale it.

"I had shared over the years politically incorrect post in an attempt to use humor to make my point politically,"

Why do these people always think that racism and bigotry are humorous?

"I am sorry if they were offensive to anyone."

But those they weren’t offensive to are my kind of people.

These are not nice people.

humpback · August 6, 2015, 6:14pm

More like Santorum will get a little dirty slip-sliding under it.

When jerk-offs try to distance themselves from jerk-offs…

"Trump Campaign Caught Lying About_______"…as with all other gop/bags, fill in blank.

Delicious…Thing about having a crook for a boss… It is job security when you have the goods on them… The Comb-over has no friends just paid employees…or water carriers!

Then the story about snotty walker and his felony!

Aaand there it is. The non-apology apology. Bonus points for using “politically incorrect” as an out. Scumbag.

“I had shared over the years politically incorrect post in an attempt to use humor to make my point politically,” he said in a statement posted online. “I am sorry if they were offensive to anyone. I care about all people even when we disagree.”

What does disagreement over political issues have to do with calling Sharpton’s daughter a “nigger”? And why is calling her a “nigger” even funny in the first place? Are you five?

dswx · August 6, 2015, 7:20pm

Indeed. The non-apology apology is standard mantra for all GOPers. Not an ounce of sincerity in any of them.

Didn’t Islamo make the Etch-a-Sketch?
