    It's 'wrote' and the quote is right there. Would hearing her say it, break your mile thick, shell of denial? I doubt it, but here is the old college try, anyways...

    He would simply deny you even quoted it, wash rinse and repeat.

    You still haven't said what the quote is. And also include what minute it comes up.

    Why? So you can simply deny that too? Her quote is included in my post and link. I dont have time for your game.

    No. Because you think you have a case to make.

    BTW.... here is the quote that you should have provided.

    AOC: “Trump relied on a coalition and a core part of that coalition were racists building a coalition with all sorts of other people that could be susceptible to racists views if they were blanketed and layered and made people feel good about it not being a racist thing, And so there are a lot of people who support that genuinely don’t believe that they are racist because we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism and because we do not do that, it just allows itself to just get caught up in this debate of ‘Is something racist? And then a person uses their defensiveness and they say, ‘Well it’s not racist because I’m not racist and I believe in this thing because it’s economic in nature,'”
    First of all. THAT is a quote. Second.... notice in context. She is talking about a core part of a coalition in which Trump relied on.

    Again: Not "all Trump supporters", but "a core part" of "a coalition" in which Trump relied.

    No wonder you refused to provide the full quote. Because it would dismantle your whole fantasy.

    I'm done with you!

    The amazing part of this is, and I mean it’s truly amazing, is how Trump can give a Fourth of July speech which the left says is full of code words and dog whistles for racism, but their ears fall deaf when one of their own speaks.

    You promise? I'm heartbroken.

    Notice you provided no link, as a stickler for the rules, I'm surprised.

    It's in your link!!!! But you only quoted the part that you thought was "convenient"

    Enough. Too many interesting debates going on to be wasting my time on somebody who doesn't even know their own reference.

    Thanks for playing....

    Always a pleasure to see an optimist posting. However, if everybody else isn't a racist why be a Democrat? It's all they've got.

    By, stay in denial.
    Shall I @ you every time another Democrat makes such a claim? Hate to be accused of 'harrassment' etc.

    Good examples. But they missed environmental racism, expecting people to be on time, Major League Baseball, white women selling tacos, hair styles and a LOT more. It’s even racist to mention the racist knockout game.

    Yes he fled the scene after drunk driving.

    Two points:

    (1) Racists get to vote and form political alliances, too.

    (2) Do you agree that "we do not talk about or educate people on recognizing racism?"

    It often seems that liberals talk about little else.

    The idea that football and other sports are not primarily politics with a little sport thrown in is racism.

    Absolutely! I have said so here many many times. And we see it on this forum every day. There are even people here who deny that Trump is a racist. I don't know how many of them are just feigning it, but I think there are some that actually still believe that he isn't. And the reason is that they have not been educated on recognizing racism.

    Claims need evidence surely you agree with this.. That or people could call you racist and then say since you are denying it its true.. I simply can not believe you would deny it..

    See how that works?

    Meaning.... what? Are you saying that the dozens of threads that I, myself, and others have created in which we show that Trump is a racist don't exist?

    I have yet to see anything that makes Trump look racist. All I see is liberals screaming "RACIST!" for no reason.
