Trump Supporter On Border Immigration: 'Just Start Shooting'

At a recent Donald Trump rally in Mesa, Arizona, The Young Turks reporter Emma Vigeland interviewed Trump supporters with questions about the travelling migrant caravan that's heading to the US-Mexico border and the answers are about as bad as you would expect.

With Trump supporters being as conspiratorial as they are, the answers given to Vigeland ranged from shooting the migrants to get them to return home, questioning who is the secret big money source behind the caravan to the 'White Genocide' conspiracy theory.

Beginning with a Tucker Carlson segment where he complains about how many hispanics have immigrated to Hazelton, a small town in Pennsylvania which has seen it's hispanic population grow from 2% to 52% from 2002. The Trump supporters were then asked for their view on Carlson's Fox News statements.

A male Trump supporter, pictured above, told Vigeland that law enforcement should "just start shooting". He then added: "If they just shot at them a few times, they would go back."

A woman then told Vigeland that an alleged influx of "4,000" Latinos coming to the United States less than a month before the midterm elections is not a coincidence. "It doesn't just happen - it wasn't a grassroots overnight decision, it took some planning and somebody's behind it." This statement comes as several conservatives are alleging that George Soros was the financier behind the caravan in posts made on social media.

Another man told Vigeland that the overriding problem was the fact that white people "aren't producing enough children." Ah the 'Great Replacement' myth that has been debunked more times than I've had hot dinners.

"You have abortions, and the blacks, you need population growth. You need roughly 1.6 (million/billion?) or more in order for the economy to grow. And since we're not producing enough, or we are aborting them, you have no other choice except to bring in new blood and young people... so what's left is what you see."

Well if white people are actually being 'replaced' then I've not got long left on this earth. If you'd like to watch Emma and Rebel HQ's video you can find it - here. If you'd like to watch a video debunking the 'Great Replacement/White Genocide' myth in excellent detail, you can find it - here.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

About Progressive Political News

Progressive Political News is an independent blog which covers recent political news, mainly focusing on UK and US politics. This may sometimes include news from elsewhere. We have just one writer here currently but are looking to expand and potentially have others contributing to our blog, here's hoping. I'm Joshua Stead and I started Progressive Politics on the 7th of April 2017, as I felt I could provide a worthwhile perspective on the major political goings on and would be able to interest readers with our content. When I began writing the articles I wasn't sure if they were appealing or of substance as it had been my first time trying something like this but the feedback I have gotten has been incredible and it has most definitely enabled me to become a better writer. We would love to become a progressive blog that people will be able to use to form their political opinions on major issues and use it as a source of trustworthy news, much like The Canary or Skwa...

Conservatives Really Think The FBI Will Be Arresting Ilhan Omar Soon

Following on from an older article we wrote about the frankly laughable lies conservatives like to spread about Ilhan Omar, they seem to have truly outdone themselves now.  Previously, Omar's detractors created easily falsifiable claims about her, claims that could be disproven from a ten second google search and a cursory read, but nevertheless they persist.  This time around, the very same people believe that the FBI are going to literally arrest Omar. The reasoning behind this is that Omar supposedly married her brother, which has of course been repeated by every right-wing 'news' outlet and even President Trump himself repeated the claim at a campaign rally. Of course something as simple as a birth certificate proves this isn't even remotely true. This didn't stop Chuck Woolery and his idiotic following tweeting out an article claiming that Omar had been 'nabbed by the FBI' and simply lapping it up without even questioning how ridiculous they sound.  FB...
