This is McCarthyism!

.

Precis: It seems Trump knows of what he speaks, but of course we are to believe Trump is AGAINST this philosophy, when in fact…

[Joseph] McCarthy hired Cohn as his chief counsel, choosing him over Robert Kennedy, reportedly in part to avoid accusations of an anti-Semitic motivation for the [Rosenberg] investigations. … Cohn would play a major role in assisting McCarthy’s crusade against Communism.

In 1971, businessman Donald Trump moved to Manhattan, where he became involved in large construction projects.[18] Trump came to public attention in 1973 when the Justice Department accused him of violating the Fair Housing Act in his operation of 39 buildings.[19] The government alleged that Trump’s corporation quoted different rental terms and conditions to blacks and made false “no vacancy” statements to blacks for apartments they managed in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.[20]

Representing Trump, Cohn filed a countersuit against the government for $100 million, asserting that the charges were irresponsible and baseless.[19][21] The countersuit was unsuccessful.[22] Trump settled the charges out of court in 1975 without admitting guilt, saying he was satisfied that the agreement did not “compel the Trump organization to accept persons on welfare as tenants unless as qualified as any other tenant.”[23] The corporation was required to send a bi-weekly list of vacancies to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and give them priority for certain locations.[24] Several years later (in 1978) the Trump Organization was again in court for violating terms of the 1975 settlement; Cohn called the new charges “nothing more than a rehash of complaints by a couple of planted malcontents.” Trump denied the charges.

You idiots do realize that McCarthy was right, don’t you?

People losing their jobs over their political beliefs in a Country that purports to be a Democracy is a tad silly.

He should be in prison just for that (his 1975 rental bullsht).

Gee, didn’t the Mozilla guy just lose his job and career a couple years back over his political beliefs?

Or is that “different” somehow?

So how many ghetto nogs live in your building, Lotus?
