re: #233 Obdicut

I have no idea what argument you’re trying to make; it seems to have little to do with what I said.

Are you making the argument that comments about people being bitter and clinging to guns and religion is an inherently racist comment about whites?

It’s a comment about working class whites made to a fundraising audience in San Francisco (clearly a place where he felt comfortable assuming that the people in the audience shared his feelings about working-class whites who live in “flyover country”— right before the PA primary).

Living in NYC, I see this attitude from self-proclaimed liberals several times a week. It doesn’t reflect well on them and it doesn’t reflect well on the POTUS.
