Malcolm Nance Rips Trump To Shreds Over NZ Response

Malcolm Nance joined Joy Reid on Saturday to talk about the horror of the New Zealand massacre, and the white nationalism and white supremacy that drove it. Reid set up a contrast between Trump's reactions to terrorism, depending upon whether the terrorist has white skin or brown/Black skin. She led with Trump's words from his response after a terrorist attack in London, when he tweeted about terrorist, calling them "animals" and "crazy" when the presumed terrorist was Muslim. Then on Friday, since the terrorist was a white supremacist, he tweeted hollow, syrupy words about how his heart went out to the victims, and how the U.S. stands with New Zealand. Oh, and let's not forget the "best wishes" he sent to them.

This was just about too damn much for Nance, whose job it has been for decades to protect Americans from terrorists, and in so doing, has worked with the finest Arab and Muslim citizens of Middle Eastern nations and in America.
