Bushs Ethics Lawyer Just Issued An Urgent Response To Trumps Native American Slur.

[elleng]

George W. Bush’s former chief White House ethics lawyer, Richard W. Painter, has gained renewed attention for his outspoken criticism of President Trump.

Today Painter did more than just criticize. He called for the immediate removal of Trump from office, after the President insulted Navajo code talkers whom he was supposed to be honoring at the White House, by calling Senator Elizabeth Warren “Pocahantas” to their faces. To make matters worse, he issued his remarks while standing in front of a painting of genocidal murderer President Andrew Jackson, who oversaw the “Trail of Tears.” '

1. Trump is getting ready for his big feud with the Tribes.

He's about to destroy the Bears Ears National Monument. He needs to get his base geared up for another racist feud.

5. I've become a BIG fan of Painter's ...

... over the past few months.

He is intelligent, well-spoken - and has a rapier wit.

[FirstLight]

6. me too

He really tells it like it IS!

[VOX]

8. He's fantastic and more Democrats should follow his lead.

Assuming Painter's still a Republican. He sure doesn't sound like one anymore!

[NanceGreggs]

11. Painter is an "old school" Republican.

He still believes in a party that once had the same goals as Democrats, and differed only in their ideas as to how to best accomplish those goals.

Those days are gone - and I think Painter is now well aware of just how distant those days are in today's political climate.

13. Indeed, they are long gone. As Barry Goldwater said to Bob Dole in 1996:

"Jesus Christ, Bob, we're the new liberals of the Republican party. Can you imagine that?"

9. Same here Nance

7. ..... distraction. And while the headlines focus on this he'll jam that tax bill through.

10. I'd like to see Painter, (Steve) Schmidt, and (Ana) Navarro on a panel.

I don't even care what the subject is. Just make sure "Trump" is mentioned and let the blood flow.

12. That would be fun!

I'd watch. I am loving these guys too - right now. However, I think their tone would rapidly change if Trump was removed and Pence became President - with full control of Congress. Then I fear, they would go back to being good Republicans.

15. I'm sure they would -- and that's okay, really.

These are the type of people who want the best for the country, same as Democrats. Surely we disagree on the route to get there, but the destination is a shared goal. Or it used to be, anyway.

17. heard painter and schmidt a few times. do they ever blame limbaugh or talk radio?

if they did maybe dems would finally start getting the picture.

[certainot]

16. limbaugh has been calling her pocahontas for years - that's why trump can do that

so 600 limbaugh stations have been calling her that, a few of them near every american.

since we haven't been complaining about that why shouldn't it be acceptable for trump?

and not only have americans not been complaining, we let 88 universities endorse 257 of those limbaugh stations!
