Republican congressman gives Trump’s racism a pass because he hasn’t shot anyone
Republican congressman gives Trump’s racism a pass because he hasn’t shot anyone
Angry constituents of Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) flooded his town hall meeting in North Salt Lake on Wednesday, demanding to know what he plans to do to stop mass shootings and white nationalist terrorism.
When he offered them little beyond platitudes about racism being bad, they called him out for his hypocrisy.
According to The Salt Lake Tribune, 80 people attended the forum at city hall. The first question Stewart received was about keeping the public safe from mass shootings like the two that occurred over the weekend in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. He answered by saying that everyone should condemn violence and racism.
