President Trump on Sunday blamed “political correctness” for a controversial decision at the Kentucky Derby that led to the disqualification of the apparent winner in favor of a 65-to-1 long shot.
”The Kentuky Derby decision was not a good one. It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch,” Trump wrote on Twitter, misspelling the state’s name. “Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby – not even close!”

Was the president reading FR board comments last night?
I was disgusted at what happened at the Derby.
Maximum Security owner threatens legal action after ‘egregious’ Kentucky Derby DQ
Selective enforcement of the law/rules is the Left’s stock-in-trade.
Too late to include this in Mueller report. /sarc
What position did the board give to Maximum Security?
I pray that President Trump spends at least a half-hour a day on FR, Reand that a trusted advisor spends ten times that amount of time on this site.
Odd, I thought it was spelled....Kentuceee.
Or maybe Kaintuk eee.
“Trump wrote on Twitter, misspelling the state’s name”
The media is so petty. They never wrote about Obama talking about the “corps” man, or the 57 states. I despise the media. They truly are the enemy of the people.
I hope the Maximum Security owners get their as*** sued off.
Also, I didn’t think there WERE lanes in horse racing.
Didn’t watch the race, know nothing about the rules.
I mean, if there were LANES, wouldn’t that mean a
staggered start?
Too late to include this in Mueller report. /sarc

You’re killing me
thing about obamas “corpsman” comment...it was on a TELPROMPTER!!...and he said it 3 times!..lol...braindead.
I don’t know, but it is my understanding that this was the first time in the history of the Derby that a horse was disqualified for an on-track violation.
Gawd, I don’t see how anyone can watch the kentucky derby with that ice skating nitwit cross dressing loser commentator on there.
How is it “Political Correctness” to DQ Maximum Security? Were the SJWs out rioting and protesting? Is Country House actually a Stallion transitioning to a Mare?
I agree. I’d bet the owners of Maximum Security are outspoken conservatives.
Horses bump against each other all the time when racing in groups like this.
This decision is B S.
Obviously the Kentucky Derby is run by Democrats, they probably thought Hillary won in 2016 too.
Maximum Security was an inexperienced, careless horse who should not have been allowed on the track.
