He just says there are some very fine people in it...

And even if that's a misinterpretation, you might say that Trump doesn't support the Klan but the Klan supports Trump.

Dems to insist Trump's court nominee sit out legal challenges to election results

A few Excerpts:
Senate Democrats say they will press President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee to commit to recuse herself if the justices hear a case that could impact the outcome of the fall elections, a request that could become a major flashpoint amid Trump's persistent attacks on the legitimacy of the elections.

Senate Republicans say that's unnecessary, arguing that all nominees have ties to the president who nominated them -- including the one Trump will announce on Saturday.

GMS: Interesting, what are they worried about? Are the Democrats going to attack Amy Coney Barrett to destroy her the way they attacked Brett Kavanaugh? Are they going to attack her on her catholic religious beliefs on abortion? What personal dirt are they going to try to dig up on her?

Of course Trump will do it. And the Dems will have to pass it, because he'll have them cornered. If they block it, Trump will crucify them, and paint them as anti-minority. If they pass it, it will be a major political victory for Trump.

An endorsement that Biden was smart enough to almost instantly disavow. I mean, come one man, Biden's dogshit for a lot of reasons, even in this specific deparment, but in the battle of who's the candidate who is the most racist, Trump's got it.
