I remember when there was a Tea Party movement in the US. I knew quite a few of the people in the movement. They were decent, hard working Americans who were upset by the profligate spending of the Republicans under Bush and the Democrats under Obama. Taxed Enough Already was their mantra.
Imagine my surprise when I would hear some of my Canadian friends deride the Tea Party movement as bunch of racists who were against an African American President. It did not require a lot of investigation to figure out where they were getting this information from.
ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and of course, right here at home on the CBC.
Did I mention they were polite, hardworking and didn't even litter?
Now we have Donald Trump.
Can you hear them now?
