Richard Trumka Comments on Donald Trump's Racist Campaign

[American Quilter]

Liberal propaganda.

“Since Donald Trump won the election, nearly 900 incidents of violence, hate speech and harassment have been reported.”
A non-sequitur. They want us to think that Trump caused them.

[FlingWingFlyer]

ROTFL. Little Dick is losing it. Nine hundred incidents? Sorry Dick. We’re going to need some evidence. Maybe some police reports.

[mrsmel]

Those 900 calls doubtless do not include innumerable “knock-out game” or “polar-bear hunting” incidents.

The only people who ever targeted me at work were union goons who were mad that I was working so hard and efficiently.

[IC Ken]

I fired every liberal who worked for me long ago.

...or it went like this:

Worker A: “I voted for Trump.”
Worker B: “HATE Speech! Bigot!! Alt-Right cretin! I’m reporting you to HR for hate speech and harassment right now!”

[cardinal4]

Most of my SOC (System Operation Control, fancy-speak for Dispatch office) voted for Trump. There are a few who didn’t have been good natured about it..

Re>The only people who ever targeted me at work were union goons who were mad that I was working so hard and efficiently

True story. My union steward got me fired for working too hard. Said I was ruining working conditions. (I left the union years ago).

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I’ve been in some jobs surrounded by them and they never keep their damnable mouths shut.

[Leaning Right]

They want us to think that Trump caused them.

Yep. And one must wonder how they define "hate speech". It could be something as harmless as someone saying that illegal immigrants should be deported.

Perhaps the phrase "illegal immigrant" is now itself a form of hate speech.

And a side note to the AFL-CIO leadership:
You folks in your fancy union offices might have all voted for Hillary, but I'll bet the rank-and-file went for Trump.

My roommate in college had a union job. He was often threatened. The solution was to SLOW DOWN.

He made the other “workers” look bad and justified firing a few of them since there were too many for the job that needed to be done. 3 people were needed to take a box from one shelf, walk it 100 yards and put it on another shelf. His “job” was to walk it 100 yards, NOT to take it off the shelf or put it on the other shelf.

[bigbob]

Just tell them Trump won and to suck it up because youre not going to put up with their leftist hatred.

[Menehune56]

The only hate speech and harrassment I’m seeing is coming from the left.

Yeah all done by the Soro's controlled protesters and BLM riot squads and their supporters against Trump supporters.

And many people have eaten carrots.

Dam those carrots.

They sourced the Southern Poverty Law Center. A well known organization that has been proven to be liars.

[OrangeHoof]

Most likely the attacks were against Trump supporters but the union isn’t going to mention that, making it seem like only anti-Trumpers are harassed and struck.

For the sake of argument, say that everything reported by the SPLC is true. Even going by their own chart, less than 50 of the incidents involved any specific reference to Trump, so how do they justify associating the other 800 events with Trump? Moreover, there was a rapid drop-off in incidents after the first few days, down to about one for every two states. Most incidents were brief acts of verbal harassment, many of them initiated by school children and teenagers, not adults. If there was a crisis, it has passed.

And guess what? The most pro-Trump states reported hardly any incidents.

What we have is about .00005% of Trump voters causing trouble. They list only about 20 "anti-Trump" incidents, but we saw with ur own eyes THOUSANDS of people demonstrating, dozens of arrests, lots of property damage, and dozens of anti-Trump death-threats. Somehow, their "scientific" study missed all that.
