TRUMP TRASHES BUBBA

Donald Trump launches incendiary attack on Bubba Wallace demanding NASCAR star 'apologize' for noose 'hoax' and slamming racing bosses for banning Confederate flag

President Donald Trump launched an attack on Bubba Wallace on Monday, demanding the only Black NASCAR driver apologize to everyone who supported him when it was reported a noose had been found in his garage stall. 

 

Wallace had not seen the noose that was found in his garage stall at the Talladega Superspeedway at the end of June. A member of his team found it and flagged it to authorities. 

 

An FBI investigation found it had been there since at least October 2019 - used to close and open the garage door - and that Wallace had not been the target of a hate crime. 

 

But President Trump blasted the driver - a staunch supporter of the Black Lives Matters movement who has worn an 'I Can't Breath' t-shirt at events - for the 'hoax' as he called it. He also criticized NASCAR for banning the Confederate flag.

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: I completely agree with President Trump on this one.  Unfortunately, his attack on Bubba and NASCAR will be viewed as proof that Trump is a racist.

 

As for the Confederate flag, some who wave it are white supremacists, but most wave it as a show of pride in their Southern heritage.
