About a dozen white supremacists chanted “Heil Hitler” and carried signs reading “White Lives Matter” during a march through downtown Howell last month. According to local media, another group of demonstrators shouted, “We love Hitler, we love Trump” from a highway overpass just outside Howell.

        Stephen Miller also shouts that he loves Hitler and Trump, but he usually does it into the mirror at home.

      Yeah, but just imagine the extremists at stops Harris makes. “We kind like Scandinavian policies, but we won’t push them very hard.” Or, "can we just stop the world from devolving into mad max, but quietly and without hurting anyone’s feelings? The extremes of the supporters are quite different.

    Not just 1. His next 5 campaign stops are all in places with large Klan concentrations. Including the worldwide capital of the KKK.

      Which is of course just a coincidence for Trump, like that time when he had dinner with a guy he “had no idea” was a former grand dragon of the KKK.

    HOWELL, Michigan, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday attacked Democratic rival Kamala Harris’ record on crime and safety, while brushing aside criticism from her campaign over holding an event in a Michigan town where white supremacists had rallied a month ago.

    Catering to his base.

    According to local media, another group of demonstrators shouted, “We love Hitler, we love Trump” from a highway overpass outside town.

    A sure sign that you’re on the right side when your fellow orange shithead voters equate him with the H man, but what do I know?

    A Trump campaign spokesperson said the former president would make it clear in Howell that “crime, violence and hate of any form will have zero place in our country when he is back in the White House.”

    Oh wait, see? I was wrong.

    Trump did not speak out against hate during his 45-minute remarks on Tuesday.

    You don’t say!!!

      Trump did not speak out against hate during his 45-minute remarks on Tuesday.

      And when he does “speak out” it’s to tell them to “stand down and stand by” like good foot soldiers.

    And he spoke in a fucking police sally port, with a row of squads and uniformed officers behind him. Absolute fucking abuse of authority for political purposes by that department and those fucking shitheel cops.
