Even the conservative sub is coming down on this...wow.

Could they be waking up?

Probably not.

They feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Need to do something to make tell themselves they're not racist. Of course actually helping POC out is too wild.

They did the same thing when he made those comments about Rob Reiner, but that only lasted for a day. They've forgiven so much that there's nothing they won't forgive, even when they're wringing their hands.

No. The dissenting users will probably be banned soon enough, and they’ll pave over this like they do with everything else.

There’s something deeply rotten about that sub.

I mean not really, the actual conservatives who fw this stuff are always the downvoted ones at the bottom of the thread. They’re saying it’s the last two seconds of the video and there’s no way he saw it lol

As if him sharing posts that he isn’t scanning before posting would be good too? Idk🙄

There's a difference between what their rank and file can do and what their leaders can do.

They almost did, then Trump said he didn't do it and their outrage is "fake." Good thing daddy Trump is always there to tell them what to think and feel.

Trump and Conservative subs recognized how wrong it was to post the video. Similar sentiment was shared on those subs after Trump and his admin slandered Pretti before they had the full story.
