Al Sharpton Slams Trump for Not Tweeting About the Dylann Roof Case
Rev. Al Sharpton wants Donald Trump to take a break from attacking the media, Boeing and Saturday Night Live to actually use his Twitter account for good.
"I was a little surprised I didn't see (Trump) tweet about the Dylann Roof verdict. I'm surprised he hasn't addressed the verdict," Sharpton, the president of the National Action Network, said sarcastically.
Of course, no one was surprised by the resounding silence on this, given Trump's mere two-word response to the spate of racially motivated attacks following the election.
"Stop it," Trump told his supporters watching his CBS News interview with Leslie Stahl, when asked if he had a message for his supporters inciting violence. The interview aired less than one week after the election. Trump did find the time to tweet about the attack at Ohio State University, no doubt because a Somali-American Muslim was behind it, and that fits more with Trump's anti-immigrant, Islamophobic message.
But mostly, Trump uses Twitter to strike out at enemies like Saturday Night Live and Vanity Fair, or just anyone who criticizes or disagrees with him.

Has Donald Trump made any tweets about Marco De La Cruz and John Matteson, the pair who attacked and stabbed a Muslim not even a week ago?

(3,706 posts)nor does we tweet about numerous thug trump supporters who shot his name while physically assaulting minorities. That does not bother him at all but SNL poking fun at him causes him to go apeshit.
Tells you everything you need to know.

(10,068 posts)If Roof had, say, grafittoed the wall of a Trump-branded property the Big Orange would have let out a tweetstorm. But killing a large number of people (who probably wouldn't have voted for him anyway) is no big deal to him.
