Civil rights attorney Maya Wiley said Monday on MSNBC's “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump is pushing “old-school white supremacy” when discussing the killer.
Wiley said, “One of the things we've seen with Trump, and Eddie points out, is that what he's actually an avatar for is what he himself believes; It's also about what you're using your platform for.” It is, and always has been, a lie to further his own personal agenda. And we've always seen him get angry and drop ketchup on the wall when he doesn't get his way. He refuses to tell people to perhaps walk out and not denounce the Capitol. So that's part of what we saw in the new briefing from the United States on the insurrection case against Donald Trump. Some of the comments he has made fall squarely within the definition of blatant racism. When he says, some people are by definition violent based on their collective nature. That's obvious, genetics. That's just plain old white supremacy. He always tipped his hat at that. He has always used it as a reference. ”
She added, “The fact that he was losing what he felt was the victory he was trying to get, remember, at the Republican National Convention he was kinder and gentler.'' “We were going to be the new Donald Trump, and when he becomes president, we're not going to be able to maintain that,” he added. You think your chances of winning are in jeopardy. ”
Wiley added: “I think we have to make it clear that there was substance to building walls and trying to stir up hatred.”
