Turning Point touts its close relationship with the Presidents family. The groups Web site promoted Don, Jr.,s appearance for weeks, featuring a photo of him raising a clenched fist. Its promotional materials include a quote from the younger Trump praising Turning Point: What you guys have done is just amazing. Lara Trump, the wife of Don, Jr.,s brother Eric, is also involved with the group. In West Palm Beach on Wednesday, she hosted a luncheon promoting Turning Points coming Young Womens Leadership Summit. The groups twenty-four-year-old executive director and founder, Charlie Kirk, told me that he counts Don, Jr., as a personal friend.

Perhaps most troubling for an organization that holds up conservatives as the real victims of discrimination in America, Turning Point USA is also alleged to have fostered an atmosphere that is hostile to minorities. Screenshots provided to me by a source show that Crystal Clanton, who served until last summer as the groups national field director, sent a text message to another Turning Point employee saying, i hate black people. Like fuck them all .?.?. I hate blacks. End of story.

(10,491 posts)Seriously, wtf?! We must get money out of politics immediately. It needs to be the core of our platform. All "regular" Americans understand this and believe it - R or D. It must stop now. I'm to the point I think we should have almost no other agenda. It is pure legal corruption and it is absolute.

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson University's student body vice president narrowly avoided impeachment after an 11-hour trial. News media outlets report Clemson's student senate voted 42-16 early Tuesday in favor of impeaching Jeran Stewart. Forty-four votes were needed for impeachment. Stewart is black and has previously said the effort to remove him reflects racism on campus. He was among a dozen students who sat during the Pledge of Allegiance earlier this year. He says the impeachment effort began shortly thereafter. The student who led the impeachment effort has said it had nothing to do with racism but rather began after Stewart was fired from his position as a resident assistant and charged with trespassing. Stewart said that matter was resolved last summer. After Tuesday's vote, he said he was glad he hadn't been removed.

But they say terrible things about women all the time and female Republicans seem complicit.

(13,899 posts)TSU was LBJ's alma mater. LBJ was widely attributed as the second president who contributed most to improving civil right and improving the economic plight of black americans during his administration. The Texas State University system is second tier to Tx A&M and UT systems, and are not as well funded.
Note: none of the other Texas public campuses, including more conservative Tx Tech & Tx A&M, are on the list. The racist bastards keep trying but haven't been able to get a populus foot hold at these locations, thank goodness.
