    Yep. Now that bigotry and racism have been normalized, they are just coming out of the wood-works.

    Two women that work for the government in West Virginia make a stupid FB post about Michele, and you try to blame Trump for it? No sale, the left used to call Condi Rice an ape and they thought that was a hoot.

    But that being said, this was a stupid post anyways, and she deserved to be fired for a lack of common sense, if anything - why disparage the First Lady, she is more attractive than both of them?

    Trump set the tone in his campaign. We are seeing what his sowing of hatred is reaping.

    Whose fault is the Portland anti-Trump riot?

    Considering Oregon, Washington, and California went strongly for Clinton, the chances are the damage was done to and the people inconvenienced were Clinton voters.

    George Soros is the most at fault for that, his money, his riots.

    Is Trump responsible for the left calling GWB "smirky monkey"? is he responsible for when they called Condi an ape?

    You *might* have a better case if these governmental employees had called Michelle overweight, but that's not what they did and it's insane to hold one person responsible for something other people said, even if they had been "inspired" to make the comments. They're not children.

    This is awful. Also, think biblically.....Trump didn't cause this....rather, the evil in their hearts did this. The human heart is desperately wicked.

    Racism is ungodly and sinful. The person who posted this needs our prayers.

    Unfortunately, that kind of talk has been around for a LONG time. A man I went to school with says that sort of thing all the time on Facebook. The election has nothing to do with it other than now it's getting press.

    Rather silly question.

    No Trump did not cause those comments. Who used them. I never say them.

    Regardless, Trump's insults and hate filled speech has emboldened many who otherwise would not use such language. Yes, Trump bears some responsibility for the increase of such incidents. He flushed racism out into the open by his taunts and insults used in the campaign.
