(GEORGE CURRY MEDIA)—It appears that every time Donald Trump unleashes another vile, racist or hateful diatribe, the more his support grows among his Republican base.
“Just in the past few days, Mr. Trump has repeated the lie that President Obama intends to admit 200,000 Syrian refugees; the correct number is 10,000. He spreads the lie that thousands of American Muslims openly celebrated the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center; in fact, there were no such celebrations. He tweeted a false statistic that Blacks are responsible for 81 percent of murders of White victims; in fact, 82 percent of Whites are killed by Whites,” the Washington Post noted.
“These are not random errors. All of them appeal to the basest instincts in supporters; they reinforce fears and prejudices. All of them, Mr. Trump knows by now even if he did not know when he first stated them, are false, but he does not care.”
