New Campaign Manager Wants Americans to 'Show Some Forgiveness' Toward Trump

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/watch_new_campaign_manager_wants_americans_to_show_some_forgiveness_toward_trump

Donald Trump's new manager says she wants Americans to show "forgiveness" toward Donald Trump, after the Republican presidential nominee's speech Thursday night during which he acknowledged he may have said the "wrong thing" at times.

"I hope that everybody who's criticized him at some point," Kellyanne Conway told "Good Morning America" host David Muir Friday, "for being insensitive or mocking someone, at least show some recognition and some forgiveness."

Trump's 14-month long campaign has been a verbal assault of dehumanizing hate speech, holding Americans hostage to his fear mongering and targeting of minorities in the U.S., while slandering people of a particular religion or countries around the world.

Conway said the speech Trump delivered via teleprompter Thursday in North Carolina was "all him," and insisted his first-ever acknowledgment that he has at times been insensitive is "presidential."

Because he gave a minor apology (actually not even an apology - an expression of 'regret') after running the most toxic hate-filled presidential campaign in history, and insulting women, minorities, the disabled, and everyone else? After throwing out one slanderous lie after another? Do they even realize how stupid they sound?

here ya' go Conway....

Conway Has A Long History Of Anti-LGBT Rhetoric.

Conway has long been a fixture in right-wing media and has a history of making inflammatory statements, including claiming that “revulsion towards men” is “part and parcel of the feminist movement,” that homosexuality is a “corrupting” influence and people “don’t want their kids looking at a cartoon with a bunch of lesbian mothers,” and equating referencing someone’s sexual orientation to saying “your daughter is a slut.”

Conway has also been associated with anti-LGBT groups in the past, serving as a pollster for the anti-LGBT group National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in 2012 and speaking at the anti-LGBT hate group Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit in 2014.

"Wow, did that work out badly. Say, can we just go back a couple of months and try this all again?"

Pathetisad!

Pathetisad squared because people have been telling the Trump campaign for months that its strategies are hopelessly stupid, but all the Trump people can say is, "Nuh uh! You're a stoopit loser, and we don't have to listen to you." Now it's all about recognizing Trump's half-assed non-pology and forgiving him.

Loser.

To go 'round and 'round and 'round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is

WTF kind of a campaign is this where they have to beg forgiveness for their candidate?

Trump is on the ropes. This has the potential to be the worst defeat ever.
