I've seen total stupidity but she definitely takes the cake

Come January 2021, this whole administration should be tried Nuremberg style.

Terrible question.
It only invites both racism and police brutality rather than focusing on how to resolve either

[websterkeen]

Dang, CBS showing up with race bait, DT showing up with FACTS

[luqmanismail]

[nycg]

Wow a 20 seconds clip now depicts a whole interview

[SHAMSHAM]

That really was a horribly framed question. And what Trump said was a horrible answer

[flamelazer]

Did White people really look like White to you?

[slovmolotov]

What a horrible answer, is more like it

[rlomx]

Her come back question should have been "What about Orange people"

[chukaman]

Ummm....NO ONE SHOULD BE DYING BY THE HANDS OF THE POLICE.


NO ONE. PERIOD.

Watching this absolute embarrassment of a president makes me so sad for the United States of America.

God bless this man. He is a martyr. He has sacrificed everything. Cops need to be properly trained and stop hiring people scared to be in physical confrontations. A gun should be the last resort. I train officers on how to do that. Nobody unarmed should die at the hands of men.

It’s a statistical fact so he’s not lying

[jackoneill]

Like someone on Discord said, thanks for this 16 second interview, CBS, it was awesome.

[cuffy]

Did he just say that? OMG… He is now pretending he doesn’t understand the word ‘proportionately’
