“McEnany has found herself repeatedly defending the president’s racially offensive outbursts. She has vacillated between trying to re-craft or obfuscate Trump’s statements to arguing that they mean something completely different.” ⁦via @ToluseO⁩ https://t.co/XXnCEzNRaf — PolitiTweet.org

Asked why the president doesn't praise NASCAR for banning the Confederate flag, McEnany suggests such a ban is akin to "cancel culture" that also, in his view, wants to erase Gandhi, George Washington and Abe Lincoln. "The president wants no part in cancel culture." — PolitiTweet.org

Opinion | Why do none of Trump’s ‘jokes’ feel like jokes? ... ⁦@rzoglin⁩ says it’s because Trump is like Andy Kaufman or Sasha Baron Cohen. “The key is to stick with the ruse, to stay in character, to dupe the audience for as long as possible.” https://t.co/hvyPZiIb0W — PolitiTweet.org

Historians question Trump’s choice of ‘heroes’ for national garden monument. “It’s just so random. It’s like they threw a bunch of stuff on the wall and just went with whatever stuck. Nothing about this suggests it’s thoughtful.” Via ⁦@thewanreport⁩ https://t.co/1V9r9S3Q6D — PolitiTweet.org

Trump “is not a man of complexity and nuance. He is a man who sees things in gloriously righteous white and suspicious, dangerous black. For him, Mount Rushmore is not complicated. It’s telegenic.” Via WaPo’s cultural critic ⁦@RobinGivhan⁩ https://t.co/S0GASAxcl7 — PolitiTweet.org
