That’s the quote from an usher at a Trump rally, Fred Grimm’s terrific piece, Basic flavor of Donald Trump rally was angry old vanilla.
Grimm went to a Trump rally in South Florida. As he counted the number of “great,”“greater,” and “greatest” quotes from the semi-literate candidate, he was distracted by two young men with brown skin being removed from their seats for questioning by the Secret Service. One was a Trump fan (I wonder if he still is), born in Florida, but of Peruvian descent. The other was a New York-born man of Puerto Rican descent who was booing during Trump’s speech. But they were both a bit brown, they were sitting next to each other, so they both had to be removed for questioning. They were eventually allowed to return to their seats.
There were a few black faces near the back of the crowd, but perhaps not the people any candidate should want as supporters. They were T-shirts emblazoned with “BOSS,” for “Brothers of Superior Status. Who are the “Brothers of Superior Status?” They appear to be followers of Yahweh Ben Yahweh. He was not a nice guy.
And of course one of the earliest comments responded:
Funny, the Crooked Hillary rally was old dumb chocolate.
Classy.
It’s an interesting column, and worth a read.
