Washington Post: Trump and Calling Out Racists

The Washington Post declares that it's healthy to call out President Trump.



From the Washington Post:
Reports that an exasperated President Trump referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting last week with lawmakers about immigration prompted widespread condemnation.

In the days that followed, the leaders of many nations demanded that he apologize for the remarks. But what reportedly happened in that room in that moment was a high-stakes version of a dilemma faced by anyone who has heard a friend, a family member or even a stranger say something objectionable: remain silent or speak up in that moment? And if opting for the latter, how to do it?

It may be easier to say nothing, but experts say it’s critical to speak out in that moment — whether the offensive remarks come from the leader of the free world or from a distant cousin at a family dinner.

“Either you call them out or you participate in the insult,” said Joan Williams, a law professor at University of California at Hastings who studies workplace interaction and is the founding director of the university’s Center for WorkLife Law.

Good grief.

I am so sick of these attacks on Trump. They just never stop.

These Leftist media outlets do not report on President Trump and his administration fairly.
