Donald Trump Jr. Followed Ex-Congressman Joe Walsh After His Threat Against Obama and BLM

Extremism runs in the family
Politics • Views: 44,515

Donald Trump Jr. (above left) has taken a large role in his father’s campaign, appearing in the media frequently to defend Dad’s latest outrageous comments and reportedly playing a large role in the firing of campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

He’s made himself fair game in this campaign; he’s not a family member trying to protect his privacy, he’s actively seeking publicity as a surrogate for his father.

You may have heard about the ugly threat ex-Congressman Joe Walsh posted on Twitter against President Obama and Black Lives Matter:

Walsh deleted this tweet when people began pointing it out, but Mic’s Cooper Fleishman notes that this threat gained Walsh a high-profile follower: Donald Trump Jr.

Today I checked Walsh’s list of Twitter followers, and Trump Jr. quietly unfollowed him sometime after Fleishman’s article was published.

This isn’t the first time Trump Jr. has followed racists and extremists on Twitter, and it isn’t the first time he’s unfollowed them after being caught at it, either.

As we reported exclusively at LGF, shortly after his father got in trouble for posting an attack on Hillary Clinton widely seen to include antisemitic imagery, Trump Jr. began following two of Twitter’s well-known, utterly disgusting “alt-right” personalities, and favorited tweets by them.

These are people who openly traffic in racism and antisemitism, and as we documented, have even posted Nazi-era antisemitic propaganda to their Twitter feeds.

When we published our article about it here at LGF, within hours Trump Jr. had unfollowed both of these hateful individuals. But the son of the Republican nominee for president is still following another “alt-right” extremist, a well-known apologist for white supremacism and racism, and an overt misogynist: Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos.

Clearly, the far right racism and extremism routinely espoused by Donald Trump runs in the family.

i don’t know how killary won! no ones I noes voted for her!!1!

I really want to see Trump come in third place. I’m holding out hope that it might happen, but I’ve probably got better odds on a trifecta of Arizona State winning the national title in football, the Lakers winning the NBA title, and the Browns winning the Super Bowl than I do for Trump finishing third.

Even with the mountainous pile of evidence showing that Trump is a bigot and anti-Semite, Speaker Ryan still wont speak against him. He still thinks Trump has more good points than bad, even though Trump is the least qualified person to run for the presidency as a major party candidate since, well, the nation was founded.

He has no government experience.

He has no business experience that shows him capable of running anything other than what he’s inherited. Any business ventures outside real estate have pretty much folded, gone bankrupt, or lost money.

His tax policies would be destructive.

And that’s not even touching on his bigotry, xenophobia, nativism, and hate espoused on a daily basis.

So why does Speaker Ryan think Trump is still the appropriate standard bearer for the GOP?

Mostly because Ryan and the rest of the GOP agree with Trump on substantive policy. They need the bigot brigade that Trump has courted since they’re the core GOP. The GOP agrees with Trump on their tax policies and burden shifting from the rich on to everyone else. The GOP agrees on rolling back civil/equal rights for minorities and restoring whites to a place where they’re treated better than equals to everyone else.

You know what I expect? The day after Trump loses, the long knives will be unsheathed and months of playing “useful idiot” will dissolve into a frenzy to slap him with every negative tag they can in an effort to distance themselves from him. The day after Trump loses, you can expect Ryan and every prominent Republican to run to the media and say he lost because he was a racist, he was a bigot, he was an asshole, and so many other things.

Why? Because they’ll no longer have to worry that they’re doing damage to their chances at the White House.

Will the media hype these polls nearly as much as the ones finding Trump ahead in the same states?

I don’t think they will, mostly because they continue showing the trend - that Trump’s lagging behind consistently in the polls. The Q-pac poll is the outlier, not the trend.

Frankly, these polls are still too close - and should be double digit losses for Trump considering how awful and unqualified to be president he is, but the GOP will support him no matter what, particularly against Clinton.

In an ideal world, Trump goes down as the biggest electoral loser but I wouldn’t be surprised if he at least matches McCain or Romney. Why? Because there’s a lot of people who vote Republican no matter what and think Clinton is worse than Trump. Lots of fucked up minds in this country. Look at this way, while the Democratic Party has become staunchly pro-LGBT rights, the GOP continues to take a step back on that issue and other issues. The GOP is no longer a conservative party, it is a fascist reactionary party.

Wait for the post-convention numbers. Think about this for a minute… Most voters (turnout in the primaries runs way behind turnout in the general election) don’t start paying attention until the conventions. Trump is going to be giving a speech on every network and “everyone” will be watching, with social media in hand. If he gives his typical speech, the entire internet might just burn down.

I’m not sweating the polls almost entirely due to the reality that Hillary starts the election with enough reliably blue states to effectively be at 270 before the green flag goes down. Trump would need to win every state that McCain and Romney won, pick up the swing states, and pick up a blue state to have a chance. If Hillary can hold on to every state Obama won and even pick up a state he didn’t, Herr Trump is finished.

That is why I’m optimistic. I just don’t see Trump picking up any states that McCain and Romney won as well as picking up blue states. They make a lot about his strength with white blue collar voters but I don’t see that being enough for him and I think a lot of his cred with blue collar voters will be weakened by November.

Political stance

When Anschutz started the Examiner in its daily newspaper format, he envisioned creating a conservative competitor to The Washington Post. According to Politico, “When it came to the editorial page, Anschutz’s instructions were explicit — he ‘wanted nothing but conservative columns and conservative op-ed writers,’ said one former employee.” The Examiner’s writers include Byron York, Peter Gemma, Michael Barone, and David Freddoso.

The Examiner endorsed John McCain in the 2008 presidential election and Adrian Fenty in the Democratic primary for mayor in 2010. On December 14, 2011, it endorsed Mitt Romney for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, saying he was the only Republican who could beat Barack Obama in the general election, releasing a series of articles critical of Obama.

Fortunately for us, the GE electorate is a lot more diverse than the GOP primaries. I don’t think there was a single GOP primary where the electorate was any more than 80% white non Hispanic voters. Maybe Florida or Texas. Point being is that the electorate is totally different in the GE thankfully.

Which means that either Drudge or Breitbart will pick it up, and Faux will report on their reporting. By week’s end, it’ll be accepted amongst wingnuts that these agents are “whistleblowers” with the goods on the real FBI decision and Comey made some secret deal to save Hillary’s campaign.

From CNN exit polling:

In a court filing obtained by The Associated Press, Nunberg accuses Trump of trying to silence him “in a misguided attempt to cover up media coverage of an apparent affair” between senior campaign staffers. The document cited a New York Post story about a public quarrel between the staffers published last month.

The legal dispute reflects Trump’s efforts to aggressively protect the secrecy of his campaign’s inner workings. The case is spelled out in court documents that sought to block private arbitration proceedings that Trump initiated in May.

Gingrich Previously Said Trump Would Be “Delusional” And Need “Psychiatric Help” If He Picked Him As Running Mate

Conservatives have yet to figure out that internet really is forever.

Is Trump definitely picking Newt or is he just rumored to be a favorite? I haven’t been online as much the past week.

Trump’s VP short list seems to grow by the day, which I don’t think is how this is supposed to work.

Pence has emerged as a favorite in the last couple of days. But Christie and Sessions still in the mix.

This really has been one strange campaign. Clinton’s names I have seen have been pretty conventional except the admiral whose name was mentioned yesterday.

Then again, Schwarzenegger won in California. And Ventura was elected governor in Minnesota.

When there’s this kind of novelty involved, the freaks and nihilists come out to vote.

Here’s my logic- Pence is a midwesterner with strong Evangelical ties. Two places that Trump struggled primary wise although he did win Pence’s state of Indiana. Who knows though. I mean Senator Corker seriously suggested Ivanka so Trump may as well pick the corpse of John Gotti.

re: #31 Targetpractice

Wingnutty paper finds random anonymous “FBI agents” whose opinion is that Comey made an “inside deal.”

Which means that either Drudge or Breitbart will pick it up, and Faux will report on their reporting. By week’s end, it’ll be accepted amongst wingnuts that these agents are “whistleblowers” with the goods on the real FBI decision and Comey made some secret deal to save Hillary’s campaign.

Fine. And then some more of the sane Republicans will see how another sane and loved Republican is treated by their base of idiots.

Split that party. I know you can.

That’s only absurd if you insist that words have an approximate agreed-upon meaning.

And the sign above the “open door” Reince is touting reads: Whites Only.

Because they always say they want a return to the America that was stolen from them.

re: #44 HappyWarrior

Gotta love the crying from Rubio, Ryan, and Weber. Trump brought this shit on himself when he attacked Judge Curiel. Trump should shut the fuck up. He likes to dish it but he can’t take it. Typical Republican bullying chode.

I happen to think Trump is even worse than your typical Republican bullying chode.

I don’t think I have ever seen someone that claims to be so powerful and is in the public eye that is as touch-me-not as Trump.

And then he backs it up with suits…like the tweets just posted about him wanting 10 mil from a former campaign worker.

Well then, since they are twins they should get to vote twice.

If the contract is sufficiently egregious that he could actually collect that… please tell me where’s the GoFundMe, I’ll kick in a few bucks.

In fact, this is an open offer to any former Trump insider who’s willing to breach their NDA. My only requirement is that what they say must be true. Preferably provably true. I’ll pay double if they’ve got video evidence.
