The base wants to hear this idiot and they won’t let her speak?

Shame.

Mendoza is also affiliated with We Build The Wall, the leadership of which is now facing federal charges.

I should have known she was in over her head.

Mendoza:

“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is not a fabrication,” …“And, it certainly is not anti-semetic (sic) to point out this fact.”

Mendoza is also affiliated with We Build The Wall…

So not only an anti-semite (trafficking fraudulent document that is the pretext/rationale for anti semitism) but a crook too?

Is Mendoza a Bannonite, Stephen/Katie Millerite or David Duke acolyte who wrote a repackaged version of The Protocols?

Truth be told, there are a slew of RNC speakers that should have been dropped…starting from the top!

AG Cameron n Jon Ponder are trying to show that Trump can’t be racist, so Mendoza had to go.

However, it’s the Trump era, so…

I hate it when the tinfoil crowd decides to cross the streams. Ya gotta keep your old school bigoted hatred separated from your new school batshit lunacy.

It is hard to keep up with who it is OK for Republican speakers to hate this week. Poor dear didn’t study hard enough and there goes her moment in the sun.

Really? Thought she’d be the keynote speaker. Did Shelley Adelson threaten to cancel a check?

If they dropped every speaker at this debacle who said racist or inane things, they would have a lot of empty air time.

Holy Sht
I can’t take it anymore. I learned about bullsht when my little brother kept feeding the parents plenty of it to get me in trouble. He was good at it and I was usually punished with more work to do.
SO I know bullsh*t when I see it.
This trumped up realty show is flat out full of, well, you know.

Can’t believe the incompetent of this White House. Their speakers are caught retweeting Anti-Semite posts while Pompeo is staging a photo opp for Israel for the convention?

Larry Kudlow had something to ‘say’.

Again, as I write this, Tiffany Trump, a cartoonish model of the Dumb Blonde is speaking. I have her on mute.

The morons in the GOP base who call themselves “patriots” have zero grasp of American history.

Salomon is thought to have contributed more than $9.4 billion in 2017 dollars to the Revolutionary War effort. It wasn’t easy for him to do. He died penniless in 1785, because his loans to the cause had not been repaid…

That’s harsh. She was honest about her bigotry before she denied it and gets canceled anyway. Life can be so unfair.
