June 1, 2021: Today: Fun with racists. Once upon a time, President Trump thought it would be a great idea to appoint retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor to be the U.S. ambassador to Germany. That idea got shot down after some of Col. Macgregor’s offensive comments were made known. Instead, the retired officer got a place on the West Point advisory board.
Now it
comes to light that during an April radio interview, Macgregor went all in on
the racist “great replacement” idea. That is, the belief that there is a plot
to inundate the white populations of the world in a sea of black and brown
faces.
As MSNBC reported, Macgregor claimed that the,
Biden administration officials intend to “bring
in as many people as they possibly can, as quickly as possible, from anywhere
in the world, frankly. But preferably from Latin America, the Middle East,
Africa and some, some portions of Asia, but not many.”
He added, “The idea is that they have to
bring in as many non-Europeans as possible in order to outnumber the numbers of
Americans of European ancestry who live in the United States. That’s what it’s
all about. And I don’t think there’s any point in questioning it. That is the
policy. ... It is a deliberate policy to enact demographic change.”
Racists.
Kind of
a recurring Trump Team theme.
(And
should we ask: Was Christopher Columbus part of some “great replacement” plot
in 1492?)
