Jake Tapper speaks to Donald Trump (CNN/screen grab)

CNN host Jake Tapper called out Donald Trump over the weekend for promising to win over African-American voters while republishing messages from white supremacists on Twitter.

On the Sunday edition of CNN’s State of the Union, Tapper pointed out that Republican Party officials were concerned that Trump would lose the general election because he could not win at least 30 percent of the non-white vote.

“A lot of Republican leaders in D.C. struggle to envision you accomplishing this, especially given that fact that there are white supremacists groups and individuals like that who support you, some of whom you’ve even retweeted (http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/01/22/3741977/trump-retweets-white-supremecist/),” Tapper noted.

“Well, that, I know nothing about,” Trump replied with a grimace. “I don’t now about retweeting. You retweet somebody and they turn out to be white supremacists. I know nothing about these groups that are supporting me.”

Considering the big buildup you gave them I expected to read tweets like "niggers are inferior to whites" or someting to that extreme.

but all I read was stuff like

"Rubio isn't experienced enough to be Commander in Chief. Rubio is a carbon copy of Obama. We need a true leader Vote Trump"

apparently it doesnt take much to traumatize liberals these days

It is a sad state that we have another Exotix on the forum. One that will spout DNC talking points an use the worst forms of name calling with out proof or even provocation. This one like some other prefers to use the tried and true RACE card.

Of course when talking about anyone from the left, this is considered posting in good faith. Those on the right of course should not expect such forgiveness

You've got it backwards; historically the Democratic Party was the party of racists. Today, they've morphed that racism into the farcical notion of "caring" by keeping blacks in Democratically controlled urban sewers through welfare programs, massive unemployment and government housing.

He does seem to believe Klansmen were liberal though.
Pretty funny huh?

Why is that?
Because republicans can't stand living under a black president and it keeps them all riled up?

Which Democrats switch parties? I forget? As I remember there were a lot of Republicans that supported the Civil rights act and a lot of Democrats that opposed it?

Now if you disagree with any Democrat politician that happens to be a minority, then you are racist. And if a Minority runs for office on the GOP ticket, then they are labeled and Uncle Tom.

The Democrats Never changed parties, they changed tactics. Johnson himself said after the Civil rights act was signed, "this will have the N work voting for us for 200 years" So it was calculated. Just as the assistance programs were never designed to help but imprison.
