OUR WHITE T***H PRESIDENT MEANT FOR HIS OBAMA VIDEO TO COME OUT THAT WAY - 2.9.26 Keith Olbermann



SEASON 4 EPISODE 57: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: When they insist Trump's Thursday night racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn’t posted by Trump but by somebody else in the White House – and then he undermines the lie they spread on his behalf by saying he selected the video and had them post it but he just didn’t see the whole thing but so what it wasn’t a mistake they just deleted it – I think each part of that is a lie.

It was a set-up. I conclude that this is not just blatant, human garbage racism, inherited Trump Family Branded racism, but I conclude the entire thing was designed – to whatever degree anything Trump and these scumbags do is DESIGNED – it was DESIGNED to turn out this way. Event happens, justifiable backlash, unrighteous indignation from press secretary Eva Braun, oops it wasn’t supposed to be posted, oops bad staffer, oops Trump comes out at the end of the day and… endorses the original racism anyway, quote, “I didn’t make a mistake.”

His passion for the truth knows no rival. I don't know what caused his ostracism from MSNBC and CNN, etc., but it was likely, even mostly - I am guessing now - his refusal to compromise with network execs or anyone about what he sees going on in America. Ruffle feathers? Hell no. His mode was to rip the damn feathers clean off, I imagine.

What he says about America's ability, led by a a hideously overweight and illiterate racist beast, to "safely" vent its vile racism on Hispanics is clearly stated, with the anger and frustration of an honest man. His observation about Blacks and how America's and Trump's ability to attack Blacks is perfectly on target.
