prevnextI was unfortunately right about how the Bubba Wallace situation would play out. He did absolutely nothing wrong. It wasn’t a hoax and he didn’t lie. But racists will use the result to say racism doesn’t exist and say he needs to apologize. And blame him for taking away their flag

So Trump wants Bubba Wallace to apologize & presumably NASCAR to apologize for banning the slavery flag (bc screw that Party of Lincoln stuff amirite?), yet he never apologized to Obama for Birtherism or the Central Park 5 for calling for their deaths. Sounds about white.

prevnextTrump says Bubba Wallace should apologize... Says the noose in his garage was all ‘a hoax’... Seems he loves that word hoax... Last week he deemed the Russian bounty on U.S. troops ‘a hoax’ too... You know what the definition of a hoax is? Obama’s ‘Kenyan birth certificate’... 🤬

Trump called LeBron James dumb and Colin Kaepernick a “son of a bitch.” He demanded gratitude from LiAngelo Ball and suspension for Marshawn Lynch. He attacked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Steph Curry. And today he accused Bubba Wallace of lying...as 130,000 Americans lie in coffins. https://t.co/DlefUnPunM

prevnextThe president's attack on Bubba Wallace and his defense of the confederate flag were an overt display aimed at his white base of supporters, after a weekend during which he stuck to the script at his official events and broadly described "history" https://t.co/XyUjjF3LOo

Implying that a Black Man, Bubba Wallace, needs to apologize for reporting a noose in his garage, is almost as racist as actually putting a noose in Mr. Wallace's garage.
The President is RACIST
There are no ifs, ands or buts about it.

prevnextTrump is tweeting racist attacks against Bubba Wallace hours after a major Nascar race in which Mr. Wallace placed in the Top 10, and the Car sponsored by a Trump Super PAC, which had "Trump 2020" painted across it crashed in the Pit.
Talk about Thin-skinned!

prevnextPutin put bounties on US soldiers and Trump has demanded an apology from..... Bubba Wallace

Why does the president think Bubba Wallace personally has to apologize for a crew member finding a noose in a garage and bringing it to NASCAR’s attention, prompting NASCAR to notify Wallace and launch an investigation? https://t.co/TjZQg7v97y

prevnextTrump's racist attack on Bubba Wallace is about protecting the flag...
...with the flag in question being the *Confederate* flag
I'll say it 100 times between now and November: this is a neo-Confederate president running a neo-Confederate administration and re-election campaign

Whoever made the noose as a “garage pull” before Bubba Wallace was assigned to that garage obviously didn’t have to tie it like that, which is a racist act whether or not it specifically targeted Wallace. Also, there is no way Wallace made the noose himself, so it’s not a hoax.
