AOC: Racists were key part of Trump's coalition of voters

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offered her opinion on whether President Trump's supporters are racist during an interview with Crooked Media's Pod Save America podcast.

"First of all, the biggest mistake that we have — and it's a trap that gets set by the Right, whether intentionally or unintentionally — is just the frame of asking, 'Is blank racist?'" the New York Democrat explained, arguing the conversation needs to be about racism itself, not the people who ascribe to it.

"Like all winning political phenomena ... they rely on coalition building," she continued. "So, Trump relied on a coalition, and a core part of that coalition were racists — building a coalition with all sorts of other people that could be susceptible to racist views if they were blanketed and layered and made people made feel good about it not being a racist thing."

AOC and the Democrats are the party of racism, hatred, and violence. Her and the Democrats need to read and study US history to improve their correct knowledge of History, past and present.

How many decks of race cards can one person possibly use? We're finding out that the race card printing company is running triple shifts trying to keep up with Dem demands.

Don't you see they are and have rewritten History already? Why do you think they want all those statues taken down. Go to your local school and see what books the liberal/democratic teachers are teaching history from today. You won't recognize it!!
