GOP lawmaker defends Trump’s racist attack on sitting judge: ‘Liberal logic is funny’
On the day U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan declared Trump’s remarks were “the textbook definition of a racist comment” and Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk recanted his endorsement of the presumptive nominee, one Granite State lawmaker came to Trump’s defense.
“The left has been questioning the integrity of white juries judges and cops for years,” wrote State Rep. Gary Hopper, a six term Republican from Weare, “but when Trump flips the script he is now a bigot. Liberal logic is funny.”
Hopper made the comments on his Facebook page along with a link to an article on the right-wing website, TruthFeed, that blames the controversy on “Hillary Clinton’s liberal mainstream media.”
“Remember, the mainstream media and DC establishment are all in the tank for Globalist / donor puppet Hillary,” the article claims, “expect this to be just the first of many character attacks on Trump as the battle for the Presidency heats up.”
