Trump Retweets A Neo-Nazi

After the ugliness in Alabama, when Trump supporters beat a black protester, Trump took to Twitter. His campaign retweeted a racist chart with made-up statistics originally tweeted by a neo-nazi. Cenk Uygur, hosts of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"On Sunday afternoon, @realDonaldTrump, the official Twitter handle of the Republican presidential front-runner, manually retweeted a deeply racist and inaccurate chart purporting to show racial crime statistics in America. As everyone in the world knows by now, the chart—created by Nazis!—is bullshit. Here's something that is fascinating about the whole episode: Donald Trump almost certainly did not send the tweet...

The fascinating thing is that instead of a blaming the tweet on a subordinate—something they haven't been shy about doing in the past—the campaign has chosen to stay silent about it. They have apparently made the political calculation that it would be worse for Trump to acknowledge not sending the racist tweet than to endure a few days of stories about how racist he is.

It's 2015, and if you're running for the Republican nomination for president, saying racist things doesn't hurt your poll numbers.”*
