My facebook page is overloaded with the story, published in The Atlantic, and elsewhere, of a genuinely disgusting bunch of racists celebrating Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton – with, among other things, nazi salutes.
Think I’m kidding? That can’t be so? Then watch this:
If you’re into hateful, sick overt racism and anti-Semitism, this is about as “good” as it gets.
Is it a Trump rally? No. Is the speaker a member of Trump’s circle? No. Are the sick racist followers of this sack of manure anyone that Trump should have a thing to do with? No.
Donald Trump’s campaign has made a generic disavowal of these people. That’s nice. But, frankly, he needs a lot more than that.
He needs to cite them specifically and state specifically that he has nothing to with with such excrement and never will.
The sooner the better, Mr. Trump. Otherwise this video – which, I can assure you, will be used against you no matter what you say, will have the tag “and Trump never specifically disavowed them”….which makes things dramatically worse.
Waiting…..
This is so stupid he shouldn’t have to disavow it. Is he supposes to spend the next 4-8 years disavowing garbage like this???
The only way this is news is if he were found to be member of this organization.
You’re right. He shouldn’t have to do so. But if he’s going to do anything he has to go all the way. Ignoring it would have been fine – but the generic condemnation makes it seem as though he’s fudging on this specific incident. Better to do nothing than that.
I ran across this commentary after I posted the above comment.
Trump needs to stop denouncing nutcases every time the media heads to the fainting couches

I think the only people who are going to care about some fringe guy no one had ever heard of until the media ginned up this anti-Trump piece are/were already against Trump.
I don’t see it gaining any new people who were on the fence.
Most likely anyone on the fence seeing this story and all the others, are on Trumps side of the fence now.
I think these kind of attacks by the media are going to backfire on them, at least I hope people are smart enough to see this for what it is.
It is the same with all the phonies claiming they need mental health days off and counseling because Trump won.
And to top it off the outright LIES harry reid has been spewing. Let’s hope this election is the turning point where we finally tell the media and the left to shut up we aren’t buying it anymore.
