Contradiction - Republicans Condemning Trump for Racism, Yet They Promote Voter Suppression
I am amazed at how the media allows Republicans to piously denounce Donald Trump for not disavowing the endorsement of David Dukes, but not asking them why they are enacting laws that are designed to disenfranchise minority voters. Whether it is adopting voter ID laws, eliminating early voting, aggressively redistricting, or closing polling sites, Republicans have engaged in well known effort to marginalize minority voters.
Yet, despite the obvious acts of racism, the media gives Republicans a free pass as they denounce Donald Trump whose policies hardly differ from so-called "mainstream" Republicans.
