Capehart: Trump’s First Two Weeks in Office ‘Is What Happens When You Believe the Government Is Woke’

EXCERPT:

CAPEHART: “We’re 11 days in, and I’m resisting calling this chaos or confusion, because what this really is, is this is what he ran on, taking a wrecking ball to the government. This is what happens when you believe that the government is completely woke, however they’re defining it. And so you put out a memo saying, ‘We’re freezing funding. We’re doing all these things that will hurt people.’ That press conference yesterday — let’s just zero in on the press conference the president did yesterday, talking about a tragedy in the Potomac, 67 souls gone, and he gives lip service, he does a — fine, he does a moment of silence, and then spends the next 25 minutes saying some of the most racist things I have ever heard come out of the White House, come out of the White House Press Briefing Room, come out of the mouth of the president of the United States, scapegoating anyone who isn’t white, Christian, male, straight, for problems in the country, and then deflecting blame onto past presidents, Democratic presidents. This is all — he ran this way. He said he was going to do these things. And, right now, all we can do is sit back and pray that the wrecking ball doesn’t destroy us.”
