Conrad Black: ‘Thought I Was Hallucinating’ When Obama Said Trump’s a KKK Ally

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

BLACK: "I thought I was hallucinating when President Obama marched around the campaign trail in the last week accusing Donald Trump of being a friend of the Ku klux Klan. I followed elections since the second one between general Eisenhower and governor Steven son and I thought that was possibly the nastiest most outrageous charge that any president made in a campaign in my time. It became a very nasty vie tune aive the election because the Democrats had no campaign except the sort of thing that Mr. Remnick just said. Now trump walked back all those points. He’s not expelling 11 million illegal migrants. He’s not doing that. He’s not saying he’s doing that. He’s been relatively clear in that if you listen to him. And he made an initial shock statement in the early primaries in a number of these things. They were outrageous, they were bombastic but instead of permitting the Normal flexibility which I admit would be straining the latitudes of saying well, it’s just flex, but instead of doing any of that, those things were seized upon with a kind of sadistic amplification system by his opponents precisely because they had no campaign for the reelection of the Democrats. The democratic record is not a good one and the Republican record of the George W. Bush Administration wasn’t a good one, those were not successful presidencies."
