I hope the staff of the Dem investigation committees are working hard while Congress is in recess until the 24th.

Like many today I reacted in horror and disgust to President Trump’s racist, callous and manipulative response to the tragedy in New Zealand. I was encouraged by the outrage of many commentators and politicians. His use of white nationalist code words like “invasion” was appalling even for him. The fact that today of all days Trump would say that white nationalism is not a big problem demanded a forceful response.

So I went looking for statements from our 2020 candidates to replace him, and I have to say that I was generally disappointed. I do not have a candidate yet, but I ache for someone who will stand up to this menace. Across the board what I saw was heartfelt statements of support and regrets. I saw strong condemnations of white nationalism.

Some may say that it is too soon, the horror too fresh to be political. Yet, Trump is making it political in the most craven way by giving a big wink to his radical base. This type of evil has got to be called out directly. To beat Trump in 2020 our candidate is going to have to confront him directly every time he goes to that dark place.

I understand that it is very tough. Consultants are probably telling the candidates to be positive and ‘keep their powder dry.’ Forget that! We need a fighter this time. Hell, we need twelve fighters!.......................



2020 candidate @GovInslee calls for Pres. Trump’s removal after NZ massacre remarks: "On a day of such suffering, [that he] would add to that suffering, by calling people invaders. This... person needs to be removed from office.” (Corrects previous tweet.)

8. Trump knows it's better not to piss off any of his racist Kool aid swillers.

He's been told over and over by Steven Miller, "If you falter on race, you will lose your base".

[allgood33]

9. Liking Inslee more and more. seriously. nt

[BlueWI]

10. Impressed by his candor, fearlessness, and legislative priorities.

He's the best candidate in a strong field, a proven record of success in the House and in the governor's office.

With our help, he will lead us to pass landmark climate change legislation during his term, in time to meet this existential challenge to human environments.

I wish every candidate prioritized that commitment.
