Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) voted against a House resolution condemning Trump's racist smear of four congresswomen of color.

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) insisted on Tuesday that Republicans "do not want to be defined" by the racist chants at Trump's recent rally.

Trump supporters yelled "Send her back!" about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), an American citizen. Trump later praised the chanters as "incredible patriots."

Trump kicked off the entire racist episode by calling for Omar and three other Democratic congresswomen of color to "get out" of the country.

Walker was asked about his criticism of the chants, which he previously characterized as a "dagger that went through my heart," during an interview with CNN.

Trump Supporters ARE the GOP

3. Latest poll

...shows about 93% of Repubs support Donald Trump. How do you get a majority out of the remaining 7% ?

4. Sounds like a messaging opportunity

For Democrats to me...

Instead of referring to " my colleagues accross the aisle" Democrats might want to say, "Trump's supporters accross the aisle..."

When they protest, Democrats should point out that silence on an issue amounts to tacit agreement...
