Trump Is Trying to Divide So He Can Conquer Not Unite So We Can All Conquer
Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, U.S. Womens Soccer World Cup championship team co-captain Megan Rapinoe said President Donald Trump was trying to divide so he can conquer, not unite so we can all conquer.
Host Chuck Todd said, What do you tell a Trump supporter who loves watching you and is like, I wish shed go to the White House?
Rapinoe said, I think I would, you know, try to share our message. Do you believe all people are created equal? Do you believe equal pay should be mandated? Do you believe everyone should have health care? Do you believe we should treat everyone with respect? I think those are the basics of what were talking about. And I understand people feel upset or uncomfortable. Theres, I think, some feelings of disrespect about the anthem protest or things Ive said in the past. But ultimately, I think I am here open and honest. Ive admitted mistakes. I will continue to do that. I will continue to be vulnerable and be honest and be open and want to have that conversation because I think Trumps message excludes people that look like me and are me, of course, but it excludes a lot of people in his base as well. I think that hes trying to divide so he can conquer, not unite so we can all conquer.
