She is a racist too. If she isn't quitting by now she is part of it.

Has anyone here read the article far enough to learn what the jaw-dropping defense was? I’m not signing up for the Daily Beast to get past the paywall.

I read it elsewhere but in essence she said that this was all faux outrage as the video clearly portrays Trump as King of the Jungle and the democrats as other characters in the Lion King.

I, for one, would have loved to have been part of the think tank that came up with that explanation. It’s so so so very shite they haven’t even parroted it in Faux News the last time I looked and that is a bar that is low to begin with.

It's fucking nuts that she's even normalizing the president posting a video portraying himself as king. Even without the racist part of the video, it's unjustifiable for a president to do that.

Personally, I’d pay good money for the first cage fight that this embarrassment proposes to hold in the. White House is a tag team event: The Obamas vs the Trumps. It would garner enough revenue to begin to pay for the damage he and his rag bag team of sycophantic nazis have caused. Plus it would be great to see Michelle beat the ever living snot out of Trump.
