A DC cab driver voting for Trump?
I doubt it. Trump won 4.1% of the votes there. They're almost as likely to have been Stein or Johnson voters (3%)
I think it far more likely that what is on display here is someone willing to lie and call people racists to further an agenda. That's the DNC on display
I never said the cab driver voted for Trump or was a Trump supporter.
I'm talking about how people in this forum are quick to dismiss this as a lie.
Trump's America
and people like you in this forum are quick to assume it's real and then assign that belief not only to the individual accused of doing so, but to the President (who obviously had nothing to do with it) and roughly 60mm other people. You don't know any more than the rest of us if it's true... but you believe it because it allows you to insult others.
I initially dismiss it as a lie because it is statistically unlikely, inconsistent with what I know of DC having lived there (VERY multi-ethnic.. so someone so openly racist isn't going to survive in an industry where you're going to have people of all ethnicities in your cabs), it fits the insane narrative being told by the left elsewhere AND it lacks reasonable inferences. Did she get his name? Did she report it? All she'd have to do is say where she was picked up and dropped off and 90+% of cab companies could tell you whom her driver was if she didn't think she should look at his placard or remember the cab company name or the number as he drove away. This isn't some helpless shrinking violet... It's an elected official.
When those logical inferences and actions appear, I will accept her story as true. That STILL won't make it reflective of anyone more than that one idiot.... no matter HOW hard you try and make it so.
I'd say the BIGGEST reason i don't buy it is precisely that. It's not being presented as being about one moron, but about literally millions of others. If she's telling the truth, it's YOUR fault people don't believe it.

Lol. Fit has obviously never lived in DC. After living there for 7 years, I call mega BS on this.
