Joani: Take note how a repubican mayor just called Mrs. Obama "an ape in heels."

And you think Mrs. Trump isn't fair game?

Simply atrocious. The man who said that is a full fledged hateful idiot. Conservatives should be SOOOO proud of what they are fomenting and encouraging in this nation via the elevation of Trump to the highest position in the land. It's nothing less than a nightmare.

It was two women who had that exchange both in positions that signed EEOC policies.Pretty shameful.

Good post. This thread works better Words. The mayor told the WP "I'm not in any way a racist." LOL

There are many things about Melania Trump which are exploitable to demean her, and Republicans should simply cool their angst as they are fully exploited. What goes around comes around, and it will come around big-time with Melania. Just wait and see....

Good observations Zman. UPDATE. Mayor Whaling resigned. Guess the racist comment ended up ruining her day instead of making it.

Racism is alive and well in America. Nothing new. Good people will fight injustice and fascism. People were amazed that the good people of Germany were fooled, and that could never happen here. Well fortunately, good people on both sides of political debates recognize racism as an evil which must be challenged. I am hopeful that it is darkest before the dawn.

That's kind of like what terry the prophet is saying over on the general discussion.

Mr. Markle is not a good person. Why would we even care what evil posts. It will be interesting to see what will happen when there is no one to scapegoat.

No, it's not off topic. His point is that racism fills out both sides of the political spectrum, but if your blinders weren't on so tight you could see that.
