Not all white people are the same.
A Washington Post reporter admitted that President Trump’s election made him suspicious about white people who put him in office.
Esquire magazine on Sunday published a series of quotes from journalists, politicians and political operatives involved with the 2016 election, including an excerpt from Dave Weigel, who covers national politics for the Post.
“I was connecting through the Atlanta airport,” Weigel said, remembering the day after the election. “I looked around and thought, well, for eight years, I didn’t really think about who voted for who. But as a white dude with a mustache, fairly bloated by the campaign, most of the people who look like me voted for this guy who, as far as they know, is a bigot. I remember feeling that this divider had come down, this new intensity of feeling about everybody I saw.”
