My title asks, “who in Trump’s administration is a racist and a white supremacist?” The accurate answer is “who isn’t?” We have known for years that many Republican politicians are racist. They include Mitch McConnell, Steve King, John Cornyn, and every Senator and nearly every Representative from every red state. There are few exceptions even if they happen to have darker skin than my own.

Is this acceptable? If you say yes, you are definitely a racist. If you are angry about this fact, you are a true American.

When Republicans “politispeak” about the issues facing America, if you listen to their rhetoric closely you will understand that they are racists and bigots. If you have ever listened to the Majority Leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell you would be convinced that he has a white, hooded robe in the closet of his Kentucky home. When he declared that his party would do nothing until a black president was no longer in the White House in January of 2009 he was exposed for his failure to be a true American. McConnell is a traitor and a disgrace to the Senate and an enemy of the American people.

When Trump chose his cabinet and closest advisers, we must remember that two of the initial three were Jeff Sessions as the Attorney General, and Steve Bannon as his chief strategist. Both men are devoted white supremacists. Although they remain ‘in the closet,’ through their words and actions we know that Steve Mnuchin, Wilbur Ross, Betsy DeVos, Steven Miller, John Kelly, and Ben Carson are racists. (Don’t let Carson’s skin color fool you; he is not a black man).

If one theme dominates the Trump administration, it is white nationalism. Trump’s hats meant “make America white again.” His new slogan, “America First,” is a call for all wealthy white men to step forward and take our nation for themselves.

America is composed of 320 million men, women, and children. It does not belong to our elected officials who have failed to serve the people. It belongs to us and we can take it back on November 6^th. Republicans are the enemy.

Please tell others about my ‘blog of truth;’ thank you.
