This is THE most embarrassing, absurd display on race. Ms. Patton, an unsworn witness, elevated from event planner to HUD official, stands as a "validator" for Donald Trump behind a white conservative who explains why the President could not be racist. This is ABSOLUTE madness.
Channelling Ms. Patton, @RepMarkMeadows explains that she (Patton) says she would never work for a racist. Meadows, who is white, says he has talked w/Trump in private & Trump has never said a racist word to him. So how can Cohen say that Trump is racist, he asks? This happened.
He now says it's racist for another Representative to suggest that Ms. Patton was brought in as a "prop."

It’s morning & I still can’t believe that Rep. Mark Meadows ran the full playbook of most insulting racism defenses. 1. Used the “Black friend” defense as proof a white person could not be racist. Actually physically presented the Black friend (which is unusual).
2. Used “he’s never said anything racist to me” as proof a white person could not be racist. 3. Asked forcefully “do you have proof” of witness who just recounted racist statements he personally heard.
4. Expressed outrage when a person of color called out the inherent racism of 1-3. 5. Accused the person calling out racism of being racist. 6. Confessed publicly that he has relatives who are “people of color.” 7. Became loud & tearful at the outrage of being accused of racism.

The President’s attack on Oscar winner #SpikeLee is despicable. We should not become numb to spectacle and menace of the leader of our country making public attacks on private citizens, especially when based on deliberately false accusations & racism.
#SpikeLee’s speech was not racist. It was factual, heartfelt and inspiring. He lifted up his deceased mother, reminded us of this nation’s violent past and called on us to “make the moral choice between love and hate.” Here’s the transcript:
Many will shrug at the President’s twitter attack. But when leaders publicly attack artists we should not take it lightly. And when Trump projects his own racism on to an artist who has devoted his career to addressing the truth abt racism we shld take it seriously.

Based on this nbc data you can still find lots of bot/troll accounts twitter missed.
how to:
Search hashtags ON a date.
Search for the actual tweets.
the accounts all "look" the same, low status counts, low follower counts, created at the same tnbcnews.com/tech/social-me…gbquNiCcd2
just using that and a tip from @z3dster gets me 6 accounts to look at.

@MarlonStepherd
@Mich_Heart_Rt
@DannyyyyPayton
@Joe_B_R
@worynynizuzy
@rogyvahumin

those are all troll factory/internet research agency accounts.
so pull the accounts that follow them.
you get all these shady looking accounts with the same stats.
drop the false positives, drop the duplicates. you get about 180 accounts worth looking at.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
