Donald Trump is backed by the 'most prejudiced American voters we've ever seen': John Dean

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/trump-is-backed-by-the-most-prejudiced-american-voters-weve-ever-seen-john-dean/

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former White House attorney John Dean — who served under President Richard Nixon — described the people who are fully behind Donald Trump’s re-election as bigots and said it will take a “tsunami” of voters showing up in November to remove the president from office.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Dean first began by pointing out the president’s authoritarian tendencies before being asked how the president still has so much support in the country and whether his most ardent supports can be reached.

“Is there any hope in reaching these folks?” host Witt asked.

“There is a small chance,” he replied. “The only way to be sure is to defeat them, and they’re going to be around after he’s gone, regardless of what happens to Trump. They’re going to be looking for the next leader. They’ve now migrated into the Republican Party ranks or independents that lean Republican. They will be around for a long time and we’ll have to deal with them in a lot of elections.”

on racist. Many of his supporters are prejudiced and proud. They are happy because their day has come.

via 3rd party ticket), and we'll deal with them again. However, this time around, there are lots more of us, percentage wise, vs. then.

We will prevail. Right over might. The Pen is mightier than the sword. Justice will prevail.

voter for someone who is "endorsed" by nazis, the KKK, white nationalists, and other "HATE" groups? How can they call themselves "christians" and support someone who says these people are "good" people? It just makes no sense!
