There are those who will bend themselves into a pretzel in an effort to defend what Donald Trump said about chokeholds. But no matter how you try, the words “chokeholds sounds so innocent and perfect” should never be used in the same sentence when you consider the fact that the method is responsible for the death of numerous Americans.
But we are talking about Donald Trump, a man who clearly lacks empathy and quite frankly, common sense. At a time when Americans of all demographics are united against racism and police brutality, Donald Trump is determined to stay on the wrong side of history.
