There is no indication what political affiliation any of those people have but the reality is they need to listen. I just heard part of the speech and people are going to have a field day with that. But what do people want the man to do? He has been repeating this message for awhile now. Folks need to listen. Stay at home.
I'm sure he meant no harm but why oh why did he try to hard with that wording.
Just stick to the facts. You don't have to down play to us -- we aren't that ignorant.
But yeah - the twitterdom is trolling conservatives big time with this Uncle Tom - I thought folks liked trolling.....hmm I guess not today.
He irritated some Black and Hispanics with that big mama/abuela statement. It definitely was unnecessary but he’s trying to get a message across. People are dying.
No surprise here, any black person who doesn't tote the Democrat line and hate Trump for being "racist" (even though Trump hasn't done anything against black people) is considered an Uncle Tom. Any Hispanic who hates illegal immigrants is called a coconut by the Raza crowd.

I agree, listen to that man, stay home.
It takes a lot of unhealthy anger to call someone an uncle tom over something like that.
We may not like it but I *never* hear someone getting called an uncle tom outside of a political setting these days.
Frankly, I can't think of any time in my memory that it hasn't been attached to politics.

Wrong message -- not a time to get folksy with people...especially when you are definitely not a folksy kind of guy -- it does seem to be patronizing or something.
Why can't this administration just talk like adults.
Pence does a good job. I'm not a fan of Pence but he talks like an adult -- kisses up to Trump a wee bit too much but there's a method to that madness -- best to please the man.

This guy has been making statements for over a month -- and it wasn't until today's unfortunate statements that this came up.
You can blame left but it is clear the messaging, communication from this administration is abhorrent.
No time to be cute and folksy and try to pretend you are down with all of that...
