Calling this a "gaffe" is the #BrokenTimes' way to dismiss and forgive the right-wing defense of a white supremacist. Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism.

This is who the Supreme Court gave unlimited powers to.
It's another example of the president’s ongoing cognitive decline caught on video. Trump appeared to forget where he was going and left the Japanese Prime Minister behind as she watched him, clearly confused. trib.al/Nc0YdZD

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
