On Monday, President Donald Trump decided to blast NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace (and NASCAR in general).
He also claimed victimhood for Wallace’s fellow drivers and friends on the circuit who stood by the sport’s lone African American driver after a noose was discovered hanging in his garage at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
The FBI eventually determined the noose was a bizarre happenstance and not a hate crime, but it rattled the sport and sparked a massive, and emotionally moving, outpouring of unity from race teams, competitors, fans and others.
Trump apparently didn’t like that.
