  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Southern Republicans Defend BMW Against White House “Scam” Claims

South Carolina officials have leapt to the defense of German premium automaker BMW after White House claims that its South Carolina factory was a “scam" that was “bad” for the US economy”.

While White House trade advisor Peter Navarro went on CNBC to criticize BMW and other international automakers with North American operations, BMW fired back from its position as the leading exporter of cars from the US by value.

"This business model where BMW and Mercedes come into Spartanburg, South Carolina, and have us assemble German engines and Austrian transmissions — that doesn’t work for America,” Navarro claimed.

“It’s bad for our economics. It’s bad for our national security,” he said, claiming that all parts should be made in the US, rather than from international suppliers.

Peter Navarro's comment was so dumb even Republicans attacked him over it.

Even heavyweight South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham came to BMW’s defense, with a statement of support after Navarro’s attack last night.

“BMW has been in South Carolina for over 30 years and has proven to be one of the best corporate citizens in our state,” he said.

“Their presence is a major benefit to the South Carolina economy, and it is much appreciated.”

So apparently making things in the US is also bad. As is being America's largest automotive exporter by value. But will the Trump cult see it.

Oh, is that what it takes to get Lindsey Graham to break ranks with Trump? Talking bad about BMW? If this means I can get an M5 Touring for a reasonable price, I’m okay with this.

That's Peter Navarro's views. Has Trump commented on it?
