Is there a black politician that at some point or another Trump hasn't called "low IQ?"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 40m

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

WATCH: “No. 1 issue I hear about”

Democrats need to keep going hard for
affordable healthcare if MTG is torching the Republican Party for ignoring crushing insurance costs. People’s economic future is on the line.

The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.

Trump to a right-wing influencer: "Do you know the name of any of the funders? Because if you do, I'd like you to give them to Kash or Pam or Kristi as soon as you can. That's all of you. These are people that do not have good intentions for the country. That's treasonous, probably."

SORTOR: I took this flag from the man that was burning it in the street

TRUMP: Do you know who he is?

SORTOR: Oh yeah

TRUMP: So why don't you give it to Pam. Give it to the attorney general and we'll start prosecutions

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange:
Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?”
Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.”
Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.”

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Here's a strategy @jennbudd.bsky.social revealed to me in our conversation on The Left Hook which will be up in a bit.

Chicago law enforcement needs to hold ICE agents accountable for unlawful use of force against residents.

This is perfectly legal.

Let's see MAGA go against the Blue.
