Schmidt: Trump’s Law & Order, Bull Connor Rhetoric Means ‘Crack Down on Black People’
EXCERPT:
SCHMIDT: "Well, it is the most corrupt administration in American history, bar none. And there is that aspect to it. But specifically, what Donald Trump is saying, when he says he’s a law and order president., let’s be clear about it, what he’s saying is he’s going to crack down on black people. That’s what he’s saying. So when he defines law and order as what? Standing on the neck of an African-American for eight minutes? Watching him die on television? Does he mean launching violence against peaceful protesters outside the White House so he can walk across to St. John’s and desecrate The Bible? His law and order is the law and order of Bull Connor. It's the law and order of an age in this country that is not ever going to come back, but it has very little to do with justice.”
