Republicans Cast Into Turmoil As Donald Trump Rides The Populist Surge 

By Philip Sherwil, Jul. 5, 2015, The Telegraph

For Donald Trump the entrepreneur, it was a damaging week. Two major television networks severed ties, Macy’s dropped his clothing line and Carlos Slim, the even richer Mexican tycoon, ended a joint venture with him.

But for Donald Trump the inveterate showman and Republican challengerfor president, the week was a triumph as he climbed in the opinion polls anddominated media coverage, despite the backlash against his decision to condemn Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug traffickers.

“Wow, Huffington Post just stated that I am number one in the polls of Republican candidates,” the brash billionaire bragged as the week closed, citing the liberal media outlet that has been a platform for many of the strongest attacks on him. “Thank you, but the work has just begun!”

Mr Trump was touting his first place in an average of 105 polls. Of the 14 candidates who have declared, Trump topped the field with 13.6 per cent support to 13.3 per cent for Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and son and brother of two past presidents.

Trump SHOCKED By Backlash From Comments On Mexican Illegals

By Andrew Kadar, Jul. 7, 2015, Daily Caller

The outspoken presidential candidate and real estate magnate Donald Trump is once again defending his comments he made about illegal aliens from Mexico being criminals. He said he was surprised by the backlash.

“The crime is raging and it’s violent. And if you talk about it, it’s racist,” Trump told Fox News, days after an illegal Mexican immigrant deported five previous times allegedly killed a woman in San Francisco.

He made the remarks during his June 16 presidential announcement speech.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best,” he said during the announcement. “They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting.”

“I didn’t know it was going to be this severe,” Trump said Saturday. “I am a whipping post.”

Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney Join Marco Rubio In Attacking Donald Trump Over Immigration Comments: ‘A Severe Error'

KENA BETANCUR/AFP/GETTY
By Matthew Boyle, Jul. 4, 2015, Breitbart

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney attacked real estate mogul and 2016 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday, telling a CNN reporter he thinks Trump’s remarks on illegal immigrants were a “severe error.”

“Do you think Donald Trump’s comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party?” a reporter asked Romney in video carried on CNN on Saturday.

“Yes, I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican-Americans,” Romney replied. “And it’s unfortunate.”

“Do you think the candidates should speak up about that?” the reporter followed up.

“I think a number of them have,” Romney replied.

Romney, who wasn’t able to get Republicans to turn out to vote for him in the 2012 election and therefore lost to incumbent President Barack Obama, hosted a slumber party this weekend for two 2016 GOP presidential candidates, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

NBC Fires Donald Trump, But Keeps The Rev. Al Sharpton

By Dwight L. Schwab Jr. Jul. 3, 2015, Washington Examiner

In one of the most startling politically correct decisions any major television network has ever made, NBChas fired Donald Trump. Whether it was the right decision after his remarks about illegals coming over the border from Mexico or not, how is it they retain the Reverend Al Sharpton who makes Trump seem mellow? The MSNBC host has made equally offensive statements (or more) and keeps his job, Kayleigh McEnany, editor of Political Prospect, told CNN on Wednesday.

Yet Trump was immediately criticized when he said in his June 16 presidential campaign announcement, "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Hardly anything more alarming than most of Sharpton’s commentary’s or false remarks he has made in the past away from the MSNBC studios; Ferguson, MO and the ensuing riots being a prime example.

But that wasn’t the only hit Trump got in recent days. Last week, Univision announced it would not air Trump's Miss Universe pageant. NBC followed their lead by announcing Monday; they too were cutting all ties with Trump, including his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and dumping him as host of "The Apprentice." Yet the reverend keeps his job as a bombastic and highly controversial host of a regular “news” and commentary show at NBC’s sister network.

George Takei Apologizes For 'Ad Hominem And Uncivil' Blackface Comment 

By Josh Feldman, Jul. 3, 2015, Mediaite

Star Trek actor George Takei came under some pretty heavy fire this week when he called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “a clown in blackface.” Takei was clearly upset with Thomas for his vote against gay marriage when the highest court in the land ruled to uphold it nationwide, and he called Thomas “a disgrace to America” who doesn’t belong on the court.

Takei made the controversial remark in speaking ofThomas’ dissent about slavery and “dignity.”Yesterday he doubled down and insisted his remarks were not racist, but lots of people (including some liberal commentators) gave Takei flak for making a racist remark, regardless of intent.

Well, this afternoon, Takei posted a lengthy apology on Facebook completely walking back his comments about Thomas and saying he understands now his words weren’t “carefully considered.”

Here’s Takei’s full apology: www.mediaite.com

Hispanic Leaders Say Republican Party Must Condemn Trump

By Steve Peoples, Jul. 3, 2015, Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hispanic leaders are bristling at the largely tepid response by Republican presidential candidates to Donald Trump's characterization of Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug dealers.

Several 2016 contenders have brushed off Trump's comments while others have ignored them. Marco Rubio, a Florida senator who is Hispanic, denounced them as "not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive," after declining for two weeks to address the matter directly. Another Hispanic in the race, Ted Cruz, said Trump is "terrific," "brash" and "speaks the truth."

It's an uncomfortable moment for Republicans, who want more votes from the surging Latino population.

And it could be a costly moment if more candidates don't go beyond their Donald-will-be-Donald response and condemn him directly, said Alfonso Aguilar, a Republican who leads the American Principles Project's Latino Partnership.

George Takei's Racist Rant: Clarence Thomas Is a 'Clown in Black

By Scott Whitlock, Jul. 2, 2015, Newsbusters

Clarence Thomas, sneering that the Supreme Court justice is a "clown in blackface." The Star Trek actor on Monday fumed, "[Thomas] is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn't belong there." Talking to a local Fox affiliate in Phoenix, Takei snarled that the second African American on the Supreme Court is unqualified: "This man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America."

Sorry, Donald Trump Has A Point

By Rich Lowry, Jul. 1, 2015, Politico

You are hardly a name-brand company if you haven’t dumped Donald Trump over the past seven days.

NBC, Univision and Macy’s have all thrown The Donald under the bus, in the heaviest blow to schlock culture in this country since the cancellation of “Jersey Shore.”

The carnage ranges widely across media, encompassing reality TV (“Celebrity Apprentice”), entertainment properties (the Miss USA Pageant), fashion (the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection) and even fragrance (Success by Trump).


Yes, the 2016 Republican field is so wide and diverse it includes perhaps the nation’s first presidential candidate with his own fragrance, and, it must be noted, not just any fragrance. Success has “a masculine combination of rich vetiver, tonka bean, birchwood and musk,” and “captures the spirit of the driven man.”

Guess Where Mexico-Bashing Donald Trump Makes His Suits?

By Marc Bain, Jul. 1, 2015

Donald Trump has had some nasty things to say about Mexicans lately. In the announcement of his 2016 bid for the US presidency, he called Mexican immigrants to the US criminals and “rapists.” Later, on Twitter, he added, “Mexico is not our friend. They’re killing us at the border and they’re killing us on jobs and trade.”

It seems to follow that Trump would disapprove of American companies manufacturing their goods in Mexico too, except that Trump apparently does it himself. A photo circulated on Twitter by BuzzFeed political reporter Adrian Carrasquillo shows a jacket from Trump’s clothing linebearing a “made in Mexico” label.

NBC Cuts Ties With Trump 

By Jesse Brynes, Jun. 29, 2015, The Hill

NBC is cutting its ties with Donald Trump over the 2016 Republican presidential candidate's recent remarks over immigrants.

"Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump," the network said in a statement Monday.

NBC also said it would no longer air the "Miss USA" and "Miss Universe" pageants on its network, which are produced with Trump.

The network has faced pressure to formally cut ties with Trump amid the controversy over comments he made at his presidential launch event earlier this month.

“They’re sending people who have a lot of problems,” Trump said of illegal immigration. "They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

The remarks prompted Cristian de la Fuenta, the Chilean actor scheduled to host this year's Miss USA pageant, to quit. He described Trump as "a clown."

Michael Moore: Gay Marriage Decision Ends Bad Week for 'Angry White Guys' 

By Brent Lang, Jun. 26, 2015, Variety

For Michael Moore, the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage provides the perfect capstone to a week that’s seen justices uphold the Affordable Care Act and South Carolina lawmakers call for the Confederate flag to be taken down at the state Capitol.

“It’s a very bad day for the angry white guy,” Moore joked during an interview with Variety shortly after gay marriage was legalized in all 50 states. “Already this week we’ve seen the Supreme Court uphold semi-socialized medicine that was put forward by a black president. We’ve seen the Confederate Flag being taken down at Walmart and at Nascar. Now they’re going to have to live in a world where two people of the same gender, that love each other, can get married.”

Moore, the documentary filmmaker behind “Fahrenheit 911″ and “Bowling for Columbine,” marveled at the speed with which attitudes on gay rights have changed. He noted that in 2004 gay marriage was a wedge issue during the presidential race and that President Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton, two proponents of marriage equality, opposed same-sex unions when they ran for the White House in 2008.

"Rebuke Of A Longtime Content Partner"

NBC Scolds Donald Trump: 'We Do Not Agree'

Getty/The Blaze
By James Hibberd, Jun. 25, 2015, EW.com

NBC is distancing itself from the views of Donald Trump. In a rare rebuke of a longtime content partner, NBC released this statement late Thursday: “Donald Trump’s opinions do not represent those of NBC, and we do not agree with his positions on a number of issues, including his recent comments on immigration.”

The statement follows Univision announcing it was dropping Trump and NBC Universal’s co-produced Miss USA pageant due to the presidential candidate’s recent remarks. Yet NBC’s statement falls short of taking any action against Trump’s productions at the company.

In addition to co-owning the Miss Universe Organization, which produces the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, Trump and NBC Universal are partners on NBC’s long-running Celebrity Apprenticefranchise. NBC renewed Apprentice earlier this year for a 15th season after the show enjoyed a ratings uptick this year, and Trump is expected to continue as executive producer and star of the program.

Tom Hanks Son, Chet Haze, Gets His N-Word Card Revoked 

By TMZ Staff, Jun. 3, 2015

Tom Hanks' rapper son Chet Haze is being disrespectful to black people by throwing the n-word around ... so says a rapper friend of his who also happens to be black.

Scrilla King -- who has collaborated and performed with Chet in the past -- tells TMZ, he recently ended their 6-year friendship, because of Chet’s desire to use the n-word.

Scrilla says Chet’s black friends are very uncomfortable when Chet uses the word saying, "It's disrespectful. He thinks it's a joke."

He adds that Chet, "He wakes up thinking he can be black today and know what we go through. He doesn’t. I wake up black every day, he does not."

Scrilla thinks Chet owes the black community a public apology.

Toni Morrison: Racism Not Over Until Cops Shoot A White Unarmed Teenager

By Jessica Chasmar,  Apr. 21, 2015,  - The Washington Times

Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison argued recently that she wouldn’t consider racism in America as resolved until she sees a police officer shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back.

“People keep saying, ‘We need to have a conversation about race,” the 84-year-old told The Telegraph in an interview published Sunday.

“This is the conversation: I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back,” Ms. Morrison said. “And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, ‘Is it over?’, I will say yes.”

She also spoke about the relationship between economics and racism.

“Race is the classification of a species,” she told The Telegraph. “And we are the human race, period. But the other thing — the hostility, the racism — is the money-maker. And it also has some emotional satisfaction for people who need it.

Rep. Charlie Rangel Responds To Use Of Racial Slur: I Thought Cracker Was A 'Term Of Endearment'

By Rahel Gebreyes, Nov. 11, 2014, Huffingtonpost.com

Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) has no problem using dramatic language to make a point. In fact, the congressman, who received some heat for comparing Tea Party members to the segregationist, “white crackers” of the Jim Crow era, is surprised that his word choice caused any controversy at all.

In a HuffPost Live interview on Monday, Rangel responded to those who took offense to his use of the term in a 2013 interview with The Daily Beast.

“I thought [cracker] was a term of endearment,” he told host Marc Lamont Hill. “[The Tea Party is] so proud of their heritage and all of the things they believe in.”

Rangel found some hypocrisy among those who agreed with his comments overall but drew the line at using the word “cracker.” He did offer a reluctant apology for offending anyone with the derogatory term, but he shrugged off the “ridiculous” criticism.
