What do Peter Thiel, Jerry Falwell Jr and Paul Ryan have in common? All they will be remembered for is backing the failed white supremacy Trump movement

Last updated on: August 21, 2016 at 9:22 am By Frank Schaeffer

The toxicity of Trump, his lies, his hubris and his stupidity is potent enough to brand anyone caught in the glare of... Read more
