Utah Rep. Mia Love: Trump 'obviously' doesn't understand GOP's issues with minority women

SALT LAKE CITY — President Donald Trump does not understand the Republican Party's issue with minority women, outgoing Rep. Mia Love said Tuesday during a panel discussion at the Women Rule Summit in Washington.

"Obviously not. I mean, that's just, it really is a given," the two-term Utah GOP congresswoman who lost her re-election bid said to laughter from the audience at the daylong summit sponsored by the online political news source Politico.

Love said her Haitian-born parents who live in Connecticut are a "clear example" because they supported the Republican president even though they felt it was "not nice" when he used an expletive to describe their homeland.

But then Trump mocked their daughter for losing her 4th Congressional District race at a post-election White House news conference even before Democratic Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams was declared the winner.

This approach to this issue will never amount to anything,

"If we could just get through to him and make him understand, it would be alright" ain't gonna cut it

Love said her Haitian-born parents who live in Connecticut are a "clear example" because they supported the Republican president even though they felt it was "not nice" when he used an expletive to describe their homeland.

As if understanding the cognitive reality of the issues or the persons mattered one iota.

Non-understanding is merely corollary to the real problem:

HE JUST DOES NOT CARE

As is the case with most any issue in front of his face:

Immigration/border security - the plight of migrants, children

Tariffs - the plight of farmers and labor

The environment - climate change

Corruption - "Drain the Swamp"

His own stupid family - nepotism lack of qualifications

His own legal issues ...

Any indication that he doesn't understand does not get to the root of the problem:

HE JUST DOES NOT CARE
