They're apologizing because one of their hosts said the right thing for once?

(86,008 posts)...now ESPN looks like they're defending white supremacy.
Trump's statements and actions as president clearly serve to defend and support white supremacy and its practitioners in his orbit.

(22,976 posts)There is a swath of America that isn't interested in facts or truth or honesty or doing the right thing. They consider themselves to be tough and righteous, having learned everything from "hard knocks," and they think 45 is THEIR guy.
But what these folks believe is at complete odds with measurable reality, and their thoughts and behaviors more closely resemble what became the norm in 1930s Germany.
