  3. @Mr. Man Apparently you didn't hear the question he was answering. Do you apply that standard to all of the flat-out bigoted language that Trump uses? He called BLM a "hate symbol". He retweeted video of a man shouting "white power." He tried to offer asylum to white South Africans. He told four Congresswomen of color to go back where they came from, not to mention saying they hated their country. He made that "shithole" comment. He said Jews, not blacks, should count his money. He called Warren "Pocahontas". He lead a birther campaign against Obama. Charlottesville. The Central Park five. The judge in Indiana. He campaigned telling the "snake" story - about how Muslims, BY NATURE, will betray you. That's the DEFINITION OF BIGOTRY. Racists say he's racist. Race-based hate groups say he backs them. He refuses to adequately denounce their support. He lied about knowing who David Duke was. He called undocumented Mexicans rapists. He re-tweeted antisemitic memes. He re-tweeted a British, fake, anti-Muslim video. He was successfully sued for racial discrimination. He had two racist advisors (Steve "alt-right" Bannon, and Stephen Miller, who has close ties to the National Policy Institute). He's tried to ban Muslims. After getting feedback about offensive rhetoric, he REPEATS IT. Why go there? His associates said he was PROUD of his shithole remark. It isn't hard to see how he plays to racists. How hard is it to specifically denounce hate groups and say, in no uncertain terms, that he rejects them? Any decent politician would be appalled that they say he is fighting for them. A simple Tweet: "KKK and neo-Nazis - I do not speak for you." Would a decent person be okay with a hate group praising them? You don't find someone "not guilty" of bigotry because it couldn't be proven beyond a doubt. It's the PERCEPTION. It isn't like arguing about being too sensitive over someone saying the word, "ghetto." It's a pattern with Trump. What politician even comes close to the lines he crosses? Trump said, "They're trying to abolish the suburbs." Now, I know the MAGA cultists will argue the technicality and ask, "How is that racist?" Because it is, and he knows it. It doesn't matter that it doesn't, technically, mention race. But if enough people take it as racist, you stop saying it. You don't double down.
