Watch a Year's Worth of Trump Supporters Spouting Vitriol, Racism, Fascist Rhetoric
New York Times releases unfiltered footage from a year of Trump rallies
Aug 04, 2016
It's no secret that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fills his speeches with nationalism and xenophobia.
And in a three-minute video published by the New York Times late Wednesday, a collection of clips from the divisive nominee's rallies throughout the past year reveals how Trump's chilling rhetoric is being channeled by his followers.
Watch the footage here:
Over the course of several minutes, Trump supporters--alternately jubilant and enraged--are shown spewing racist, homophobic, and sexist slurs, sucker-punching protesters, and displaying a worshipful attitude toward Trump that reminds viewers why his candidacy has been provoking comparisons to 1930s Germany.
Trump acolytes are captured shouting:
"Build the wall! Build the wall!"
"Send them bastards back!"
"If you don't speak English and you don't contribute, get out of here!"
"Get the fuck out!"
"Fuck Islam! Fuck 'em!"
"You don't talk about America when you're supporting Muslims!"
"Hang the bitch!"
"Sieg Heil!"
"He's the last chance we have to establish law and order."
"I swear, on Tuesday I will go to the polls and vote for Donald Trump!"
An Urgent Message From Our Co-Founder
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission has always been simple: To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It's never been this bad out there. And it's never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed, the threats we face are intensifying. We need your support now more than ever. We don't accept corporate advertising and never will. We don't have a paywall because we don't think people should be blocked from critical news based on their ability to pay. Everything we do is funded by the donations of readers like you. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Will you donate now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
