    He wasn't asked if he condemned all discrimination. Hell, he wasn't asked about discrimination at all. He was asked about white supremacy which he refused to answer.

    Got you fooled, though.

    It's the truth. Maybe the msm viewers are dupped into believing that removing candidates from the ballots is about saving democracy, but I think the people in charge aren't that stupid.
    Also there is only one reality. We should at least try and agree on the facts of that reality instead believing what we want.

    Sounds easy, but it isn't. We can't agree on facts. We were introduced to alternative facts in the last 7 years. Trump said 1/6 was a "beautiful day", but his followers have also said that it was organized by the FBI. So did the FBI provide a "beautiful day" for the country? Facts are no longer facts, sadly.

    Agree it's not a bloc, because it's a spectrum. Trump cottoned onto the angry white male vote early. And some of those angry white males (and females) are certainly racist white supremacists.

    If you want specific examples of that spectrum look at the daily postings on this board and replies on X.

    Beauty is subjective and only exists in the mind of those who precceive it. It does not exist in objective reality and has nothing to do with facts of the world.

    I've never heard anyone claim the FBI organized it. In fact the right largely agree that the actual attack was unplanned. Only the protest was planned.

    As irrelevent as it is...

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden...uring-japan-g7-summit-meeting-trump-does-that

    ...but why is it irrelevant? Reporters are not really going to ask Biden those sort of questions.

    How I was referring to you (and by you I mean not just you but the left in general) is only GOP candidates get asked these sort of ridiculous catechism questions. I simply think that the intent of asking the question (we need to check to make sure GOP candidates are not white supremacists) is insulting and reporters need to know that.

    You know, this wasn't really belittling, it was push back against an idiotic question and every single GOP candidate from President down to dog catcher should respond the same way.

    Well if you have no choice but to send me to X, and not to a White Supremacy PAC, or a White Supremacy non profit that lobbies in Washington and donates to candidates, then I don't think you have any evidence that would cause a reporter to ask a non white candidate that dumb question.

    Yes he did. Perhaps he did so because the reporters of MSM often ask silly questions, stupid questions, leading questions, loaded questions.

    A quarter of Americans falsely believe federal law enforcement “probably” or “definitely” orchestrated the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, a claim at the centre of a persistent conspiracy theory promoted by right-wing media, Republican officials and former president Donald Trump.

    The results of a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll also found that 34 per cent of Republicans and 44 per cent of Americans who voted for Mr Trump continue to believe that FBI operatives organised and encouraged the attack.

    So you're forgetting that 'what is a woman' was a question asked of a SCOTUS nominee? Or is that different?

    Looks like we’ve got libs here who are so bad at reading comprehension they think you can condemn all forms of discrimination yet support racism.

    If you guys could stop being living caricatures of yourselves that would be very helpful in me not laughing myself to death at you

    "White Supremacy" is a myth fed to the ignorant by Obama who divided democrats into groups, each with their own special beef against America, Republicans, police, the military, borders, people who work for a living, etc.
    Everyone turned into an "I" as in "I want", "I hate", etc.
    I doubt we will ever recover.

    Because the answer is YES, and nothing else.

    I don't want to take anything away from Vivek, but a kindergartner can predict the left's responses to these things.

    NO.

    See, short and to the point. Now why can't Vivek do that?

    Why didn't you say you are against all forms of discrimination then? It really isn't that hard.

    You never said you reject all forms of discrimination. Why can't you just say the words? But never mind, you've been beating around the bush so it's obvious at this point what you really feel

    Good to know that you think white supremacy isn't a form of discrimination and that it's okay.

    Depends on the context. Lol

    Does anyone were believe that an Indian is a white supremacist? I’m asking because it certainly appears the left is trying infer that.
