DEMS/MEDIA/MILITARY/RACISM/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump denied Friday [2-22-19] that his language enabled a Coast Guard officer accused of being a white nationalist who plotted to kill journalists and Democratic politicians. While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said he believes Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson’s plan to carry out white-supremacist terror attacks is ‘a shame’…Hasson was initially arrested last week on charges of illegal weapons and drug possession. However, authorities later found files on Hasson’s computer containing plans to target members of Congress and media figures in hopes of creating a ‘white homeland,’ a court filing said.”
