DEMS/RACISM/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “South Carolina Democrats are incensed over President Donald Trump’s use of the word ‘lynching’ to describe the impeachment inquiry against him. But that doesn’t mean they’re yanking an invite for him to speak at a historically black college on Friday. An organizer for the upcoming presidential justice forum hosted at Benedict College in Columbia told POLITICO on Tuesday that the three-day event would continue as planned…Trump is scheduled to give the keynote address on the opening day of the forum and town hall series with presidential candidates, including 10 Democrats, who will speak and take questions on Saturday [10-26-19] and Sunday [10-27-19].”
