Meacham: Trump Tied For The Most Racist President In US History

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/donald-trump-andrew-johnson-racist-090653641.html

“He has joined Andrew Johnson as the most racist president in American history,” Jon Meacham said on MSNBC on Monday, referring to the leader who routinely finishes at or near the very bottom of presidential rankings by historians.

Meacham said that “Johnson, in a state message, said that African-Americans were incapable of self-government and relapsed into barbarism if they weren’t closely supervised.”

Over the weekend, Trump launched a racist tirade against several women of color who serve in Congress, telling them to “go back” to their own countries.

Let's get a conviction on this bastard.

The fun part is, if we DO get a conviction the Constitution prevents him from being pardoned. However, I want Pence first, Trump right afterward so we get President Pelosi for however long it takes to approve Hillary Clinton as her VP.
