    1. His answer pretty much sums up the Republican party of today. They’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, they’re corrupt. But some, I assume, are good people.

    2. @KB Peters The Democrats have to stay united. Pelosi has to keep them together. AOC has to play within the boundaries. She can’t go rogue and throw out policies that will piss off the moderates. I’m a libertarian / moderate who sick of Trump’s lies and demagoguery. The Democrats can win the moderate vote if they don’t get as extreme as the Republican party is now. It’s critical Pelosi keeps order. It’s amazing … I used to dislike Pelosi. Now I think she’s the most sensible politician in Washington. Times have changed.

      So you should, sarcasm doesn’t always translate well in comments unless you point it out.

    1. But also, the tweets talked about corrupt governments, if they have function governments at all. That’s not talking about Detroit or the Bronx.

    1. I’m pretty sure it’s Borneo right? At least Trump’s real dad 🤐😜😝#momboinkedanorangutan

    1. @mossy oak hell yea russia racism concentration camps.if they say this garbage enough they actually convince themselves its truth.if you think trump and his supporters like me are racist in any way you need to crack open a history book.hitlers party was the national SOCIALIST worker party buy the way.

    2. @dub2459 hahahahah antifa are some punks. Only antife who are dangerous are those who join the US proxies armies in syria.

    3. @Jacob Massey Nazi wasnt democratic. We swiss are democratic socialist. Stop your BS. North Korea is also called “Democratic People republic of korea“ and has nothing in common with a democracy. You are naive willingly or not idk.

    4. @mossy oak oh pls the right hates non whites read a youtube comment section and see how these people really thinkl

    1. Kobach is a “low IQ” individual. Come on…he did pause …then he states I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT….then he said PROBABLY…and he states IT DEPENDS ON WHO IS RUNNING starting at 6:35

    1. Cuomo could have done better.

      Paul Ryan said Trumps attack on a judge of Medican decent is the definition of racism. During a town hall when a Muslim woman asked how Trump would protect religious minorities from hate crimes, he said she needed to “turn over the terrorists”. He asked an asain journalist where she was from When she said the state (I dont remember which) he said “no originally”. All of these are on video. Cuomo used none of those examples, which are clear cut. Instead he chooses “mostly rapists and murderers” which, while his point is right, gives Kobach an opening.

      Chris did do well on calling out the hesitation. That’s good. I think he should have taken the kill shot of “if you might consider supporting a racist based on who else is running, what’s worse than a racist?” That would have stopped him dead in his tracks. What’s he gonna say? “A socialist”?

    2. @Jacob Massey I didnt mean to say that they made “racist” mean nothing. I mean to say that so many people dont know how to fight. That there is so much material that focusing on weak points with only broad hand waving isnt enough.

    3. @YUKON DX
      I don’t care about your opinion of Cuomo….it does not detract that Kobach admitted he would rather support a RACIST than a Democrat.

      JESUS

      Come on…he did pause …then he states I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT….then he said PROBABLY…and he states IT DEPENDS ON WHO IS RUNNING starting at 6:35

  1. 6:23 This is where we can see morality and human rights come second to getting elected. Personal integrity? Nope, just greed.

    1. @Ben Santoyo I assume that was true for SOME of the people who voted for him in 2016. But certainly not all.

      In any case, why is that even relevant here? Does that excuse his statements somehow? Words do matter, especially from leaders who are supposed to unite us.

    2. @Ben Santoyo
      You cannot separate policy from rhetoric.

      Words will betray a person’s true intentions and beliefs.

    1. Lmao, look at the economy they created. As soon as they took over from Obama, the economy skyrocketed. Oh ya, they hate Americans.

    2. V S Until the coming recession, deplorables blame Obama. Please go back to the Hell you came from, k thnx!

  2. One thing I do agree with Kobach on – Trump said this to “put the spotlight on those four women”… and away from Epstein, Acosta, Mueller, burgeoning debt and myriad other problems he is facing.

  3. Just for context. He said, “Democrat Cogresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments…”

  4. Sounds like somebody just “earned” themselves a cabinet seat in Trump’s administration. Application process: Go on MSM, kiss Trump’s butt, get job….no experience necessary, Congress approval not required.

  5. Racism is Trump’s platform. His Brand is racism. Expect the new red hat slogan to be “Love it or Leave it” LiLi

  6. Cuomo: Would you still support Trump as president if he said he was racist
    Kobach: Um..I don’t know, that would be a really tough question. I’d have to know who was running against him.
    Wow, there’s no coming back from that…does he have a publicist?
