Trump Denounces ‘Bigotry and Hatred’ at African American Museum. The Left Didn’t Get the Memo
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump denounced bigotry and racism in a short speech given at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The reaction to his speech on Twitter was, ironically, full of bigotry and racism.
“Today and every day of my presidency I pledge to do everything I can to continue that promise of freedom for African-Americans and for every American,” Trump said. He called his first visit to the museum “a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry and hatred and intolerance.”
Many on Twitter were vocally intolerant of Trump’s presence at the museum.
Trump denouncing antisemitism and racism at the African American Museum will never be enough for a left whose only true focus is hatred. pic.twitter.com/3v9oySjDL6

Frankly, I am surprised that Trump didn't arrive in blackface at the African American Museum.
He knows where he was, right?

Trump visiting the African American Museum kinda reminds me of how Hitler was going to create a museum for Jews right before the holocaust

#NeverForget: On the anniversary of Malcolm X's assassination.. the nation's "African American Museum" welcomed a white supremacist.

Donald Trump visiting the African American museum literally means nothing to me. He's still a racist, closed minded, imbecile.

As an African diasporic priestess I have just done a cleansing ritual for the African-American museum.to remove the Trump taint.

Dr. Ben Carson, the president’s nominee to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, was in attendance of Trump’s visit to the museum. The reaction to Carson’s presence was also hateful.
@CNN @CNNgo I see ben Carson is being used as the token black friend

Dr. Ben Carson hates to be reminded he's African American but #Trump needed a little color help on his trip to African American Museum.

At the African American Museum visit, Trump confirmed that Dr. Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon, was put in charge of HUD because he is black.

What was it that Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said? “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
It’s a shame these folks won’t listen. (For more from the author of “Trump Denounces ‘Bigotry and Hatred’ at African American Museum. The Left Didn’t Get the Memo” please click HERE)
