Mick Mulvaney, currently serving as Donald Trump's very loyal Chief of Staff, said this in 2014.
This was the conclusion Mulvaney drew from the response to the horrifyingly racist comment that Steve King made about undocumented immigrants during the debate over DACA.
Remember this the next time you hear a Republican talk about how their party is going to work hard to make itself relevant to non-white Americans. Expect exactly the sort of follow-through we've seen from Mick Mulvaney, loyal footsoldier for Donald Trump.
I was reminded of this moment by this excellent episode of This American Life. thisamericanlife.org/615/the-beginn…

This is a fantastic, succinct summation of just how outlandish the Trump Administration is in terms of how it conducts the people's business. Trump's private business was notoriously authoritarian, corrupt, & deceitful; so of course his WH is as well. propublica.org/article/trump-…
About a year ago I wrote something that tried to capture the petty, bumbling, bullying, and yet successful nature of Trump's approach to the world that's depicted in that podcast. My run at it was more analogy than analysis...but here it is FWIW. medium.com/@sethcotlar/wh…
Serious question. How many people who say "iT wOuLd bE gReaT tO haVE a BusINeSSmaN aS pResIdENt" also freaking hate their boss and complain about how companies are always trying to rip them off?

The folks at Upton Sinclair Broadcasting will almost certainly get on board with this.
Some folks say Republicans are ignorant. But this story epitomizes the sort of tricky gnosis that informs their approach to policy making.
The politicians who pushed for this clearly have rotten policy chops.

So I'm reading Pat Buchanan's 1992 RNC culture war speech and...um...folks, you need to see this.
All it needs is a "sir" to be complete.
I'd forgotten that Pat ended his speech with a story that echoes that horrific grunt style video that Rudy tweeted out on 9/11. Only Pat's story had an extra slathering of racism folded in.

Trump's been roasting Congress since 1993 lol
the first half hehe

Trump has been the same person ever since he's been in public eye, and yet, the American people still elected him...

When will the Democrats learn?
1999 - Roger Stone talked about the decision of Donald Trump to form a presidential exploratory committee. He focused on Trump’s membership in the Reform party, & Trump’s agenda for his campaign.

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.
