Jim Acosta Grills Trump Spox on ‘White Power’ Rally Shouts
Mediaite ^ | 08/24/2015 | Ken Meyer

Jim Acosta spoke with Donald Trump‘s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski about recent developments that have occurred after the 2016 candidate’s statements on illegal immigration. After Lewandowski talked about the severity of the problem, Acosta then decided to grill him about whether there was any concern if Trump’s rhetoric might hurt anyone if it “spiral[s] out of control.”

Acosta brought up how two men in Boston attacked a homeless Mexican while quoting Trump’s position, and also a man who reportedly shouted “white power” during his speech in Alabama last week.

Lewandowski’s response seemed to echo Trump’s, saying that he does not condone violence, and that the people attending the rally were there because they were proud Americans who were receptive to the “Make America Great Again” motto.

“We would never condone violence. If that’s what happened in Boston, by no means would that be acceptable in nature,” Lewandowski said. “We should not be ashamed to be Americans. We should be proud of our heritage and continue to be the greatest country in the world.”

Has anyone looked in on stormfront lately. They are usually a good indicator of what is oozing through demented neonazi minds.

For what it's worth, they love Trump over there....

Exactly.

And the thugs in Boston were career thugs with long, violent criminal records. Trump wasn’t responsible for their continuing thuggery.

At least one of the perps has a 15-year history of racially motivated attacks. It is illogical to claim he was influenced by Donald Trump's recent comments.

I was wondering the same thing. I have never heard of him so guess I will just ignore what he says.

Laz failed to include “erections lasting more than four hours” on that list.

I wonder why.

Hell, in Chicago they yell “black powah” all the time. Yet white folks or blacks can’t yell “white powah?”

Sheesh, so much for 1st amendment rights.

He needed to say, “Aw, it was probably a bunch of Democrats saying that.”

One guy out of 30,000 (reportedly) shouts “White Power”, and Trump is framed as a man that needs to back off, because look what his message is causing people to do.

During 6.5 years, the media hasn’t once said to Obama, “Hey, be careful about saying something that could taint a jury trial.”, or “Be careful of saying something that could cause racial strife.”, or “Hey be careful of saying you understand why rioters are rioting.”

One guy that had no qualifications whatsoever has been a free ride for up to a decade, and one guy incredibly qualified hasn’t been given one moments rest from an onslaught of criticisms and blame. And he’s not president yet.

Obama hasn’t even been proven to be a citizen, and Trump is blasted because he hasn’t provided a plan that reveals exactly how many cubic meters of cement he plans to order to build the wall.
