A devastating 80-second montage of Donald Trump making racist remarks was aired by a TV news network before the host asked voters: "Are you for or against this?"
The MSNBC video begins with Mr Trump's comments made about the Central Park Five case, in which he called for five black and Hispanic teens were charged and found guilty of beating and raping a woman jogging in Central Park in 1989. Ultimately it was discovered that they were wrongfully accused.
Mr Trump took out a full page ad in the New York City newspaper calling for the death penalty to be reinstated and to "bring back our police" two weeks after the attack. Even after the real killer came forward in 2002, Mr Trump refused to apologise for demonising the teens. He called a documentary made about the case a "one sided piece of garbage" because he believed it should have involved the alleged crimes that the young men committed.
Later in the video, it focuses on Mr Trump's championing of the racist birther conspiracy theory against former President Barack Obama. Mr Trump claimed that Mr Obama was not born in America, and even after Hawaii verified Mr Obama's birth certificate, he claimed many people did not believe the birth certificate was legitimate.

(1,896 posts)Its clips of things we've seen over and over. Let's not fight with yesterday, we gotta get through Tuesday. Maybe at this point it's more a battle for votes than one of identity. I get easily distracted so I've got to be careful.

Scratch that, that's the deer. The bus goes down the road this side of the funnel. You've been there?

(1,896 posts)Combining a busy bus route only found in cities typically, with the setting of someone watching a deer trail. I thought it odd to ask a specific response on a generalization?

(1,896 posts)Had I interpreted the bus as the link to the video, nuff said.
I felt the video would distract people from their current framing of the election, bringing them to tilt windmills. I have no qualifications to decide, but I wouldn't send you to a bad eatery either.
A dangerous bus it is.
