MSNBC’s Eugene Robinson: GOP ‘Makes a Home’ for Anti-Muslim Beliefs (NewsBusters)

During an appearance on Monday’s Hardball, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Eugene Robinson took great joy in tying Donald Trump’s views about President Obama’s religious beliefs to the entire Republican Party.

Robinson maintained that the GOP “brought this on itself” after Trump refused to denounce individuals who question Obama’s citizenship and maintained that the party was full of anti-Muslim bigots: “ if you have an irrational hatred of President Obama and you think he’s an illegal immigrant or whatever, if you are an Islamophobe...the Republican Party makes a home for you.”

Prior to Robinson’s comments, David Corn of the far-left Mother Jones magazine also did his best to tie Trump’s repeated denial that President Obama was a U.S. citizen to the entire Republican Party.
