Donald Trump’s assault on our values

By Editorial Board June 13 at 7:32 PM

IT HAD not seemed possible, but Donald Trump descended this week to a new low of bigotry, fear-mongering and conspiracy-peddling.

Republican leaders who said last week that they expected a change in tone after Mr. Trump’s racist attacks on a California judge quickly received their answer. What can House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) or Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) possibly say now?

As the country mourned the wanton slaughter of 49 people early Sunday, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee took a victory lap, hinted darkly that President Obama is an enemy of the nation, libeled American Muslims and, in grotesque punctuation, finished up with a vindictive attack on the media.

Looks like most of the media waited too long to call that guy out.

Hated to see the inner workings of demented rw CTs getting any coverage other than complete ridicule.

I look for the Bush wing of the republican party to try a coup attempt of some sort at their convention to save their stinking party.
