John Brennan: ‘Nativist, Xenophobic' Americans Are Suppressing Other Views

[Breitbart] Appearing Friday on CNN, former CIA Director John Brennan said the United States is comprised of "nativist, xenophobic" elements exhibited abroad in the last century.

A transcript is as follows:

BRIANNA KEILAR: We’ve heard that phrase, "If you don’t know history, you could be condemned to repeat it," which is part of the reason why it’s so important to understand different things whether it’s about the Cold War or World War II, and the fact that it was the fight again Fascism. Why is that so important for Americans writ large or for elected officials to understand that it was actually a fight against Fascism?

JOHN BRENNAN: I think we’re right now battling some fascist tendencies amongst some people in terms of highly nativist tendencies and instincts that I think Donald Trump harbors and has shown. What we have seen happen around the globe over the last hundred years or so, I think we see elements of it here in the states, which is a very nativist, xenophobic, and in some respects movements that are prone to lashing out and suppressing the views, the interests, of others in their country. It’s very unfortunate what we’ve seen in the last four years. I am very confident that Joe Biden brings to the office of the presidency the character, dignity, experience, and an understanding of the history, law and Constitution that Americans have been desperately looking for over the last several years.

I believe there is a name for such a condition.

Obama’s Memoir Trashes Conservatives As Xenophobic Rubes With Racial Anxiety…

Excerpts from former President Barack Obama’s forthcoming memoir “A Promised Land” trashes conservatives as intellectually inferior xenophobes filled with “racial anxieties,” and blames former vice presidential candidate Sarah Plain for the supposedly mainstreaming bigotry.

“Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party — xenophobia, anti intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward Black and brown folks — were finding their way to center stage,” Obama accuses in the memoir, as noted by The Blaze.

#4 He missed a few. Should add: "contempt for affirmative action grifters, also disgust at my and my wife's sneers at white people -- including my dismissal of my white grandmother, i.e. the woman who raised me after my Wakandan deadbeat dad skipped out, as a racist ..."

#7 What John Brennan is ignorant to is, 70 million Americans believe it, just Trump is the one behind the mic.

Removing him, isn't going to change the way they feel.
