Their has never been a time in America when it was great for EVERYONE.

[mpklub]

Ah yes, Bryan Cranston. One of the great philosophers of our time.

[chemist]

I'm African-American and it's been great for me and my family. And it's also been great for many families that I know. Sometimes I don't think people understand that it's just as racist to assume that all black people are struggling.

[Kwijiboi]

I always thought MAGA was about a return to economic strength, and where manufacturing and good wage jobs were available; Before offshoring and perpetually lowering wages became the norm, and where the United States was respected in the world.

I never took it to mean white dominance in any sphere.

Just a return to prominence in the world, as opposed to the view that the country is in decline.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Funny that people that complain about America never seem to want to leave America. That's why America is Great.

[aileensanmiguel]

Why is this so blown out of proportion? You can make anything look like something horrible if you want.

[mljrotag]

I remember when the word racist used to mean something. Just do not care anymore.

[naasking]

I always heard MAGA to be an economic slogan, about a return to better middle class living, not a reference to turning back civil rights.

[mboiko]

For many Americans, MAGA just means a time when we could afford to live our lives and the country was economically...in much better shape than it is today.

I am a white conservative with a list of my favorite top 5 heroes, one of which is Malcolm X. A man that spoke truth to power. He warned his brothers to beware of the white liberal. You won't find them singing praises with you in your church.

[jchess]

Trump explained in great detail what Maga meant it wasn’t racist it was about America first jobs, strong military, affordability, school choice, fair trade deals securing our border and no wars for the main part

[jordanshearon]

“You’re not black if you don’t vote for me ! “ Famous quote from Joe Biden himself running for president in 2020 . Definitely the most racist thing ever said from any politician!

[neilhartigan]

Do you know why Tom Cruise is so popular as an actor? Because he keeps his opinions to him self. 😂

[theburntbanana]

Even when we had a black president... let the irony of that sink in for a second...

[qhuvdzi]

I was hoping another actor would intentionally misinterpret the intention of that phrase. Thanks, Brian, pretend genius on tv.

[tongeen]

Black, White, Asian, Latin if you are American when America is great we are all great, When America failed we are all failed. At this time there are people who want us to fail do not let them!

[esquare]

This is the biggest surprise is not Brian’s ignorance. It is the fact that Chris still has a show in CNN.

[antonioflorenca]

I'm from South Africa and I love the US. I'm amazed how woke people in the US live in a bubble. For more than 100 years, African Americans have had a better quality of life and more human rights, in general, than 95% of the fellow Africans in Africa. All from a system that wasn't and still isn't perfect, but it was then and still is now, the greatest system in the world. The rest of the world needs you to be great.

[panamareg]

I think he is apologizing for his own white guilt.
While I am white, my only guilt is what I have personally done.
Obviously I am not a believer in original sin, nor sins of the father.
We all need to hold ourSELVES accountable.

[cornelius]

great economy, secure borders, safe streets? whats racist about that? im asian and thats what it means to me. a lot of us who came from worse conditions like communism and dictatorships think so. race has nothing to do with it.
