NYT’s Blow on Trump Supporters: Many Germans ‘Didn’t Say a Word’ When Jews ‘Were Dragged into Gas Chambers’

EXCERPT:

BLOW: "Listen not all of the Germans who stayed silent while they dragged people into the gas chambers hated Jews. But you were silent and then you let that happen. Not everybody in America own slaves but they -- too many of them were silent, and the next plantation over had them, and the next house over had them, and you didn’t say a word. You can't leave in a society like that. There is no middle ground. You have to take a stand. When there is hatred in the world, you have to take a stand. When there is not — when people are not given everybody a fair chance, you have to take a stand. If you say, 'Well, it's not about me. I don't believe that, and therefore I can just take the policy without the poison,' then you’re telling yourself a lie in order to get something without giving anything. Life is about — you don't -- you have that option in life. You give something, you stand for something or you stand for nothing. And that is the option. And these people are choosing, if you think you’re standing for something, and you just say, 'I don't agree with that, but I agree with the policies and I want the Supreme Court justice, and I want -- I want, you know, what they’re doing on criminal justice, and I want what Ben Carson is doing,' no, you don’t have it that way, that is not an option for you. That is not -- that is not what's going to happen in society."
