Discussion: Sen. Tim Scott Calls Trump's Judge Comments 'Racially Toxic,' Not Racist

But if Judge Curiel were African-American, then it would be racist. Of course, one might ask why it’s so much better to have a “toxic” president than one who’s racist.

The memo went far and wide and with any luck there’ll be a mention of why they’re talking about it all. TrumpU is not going away

Republican needle-threading is sooooo tedious. For the next 5 months they are going to be gyrating syntax and grammar and vague-ifying participles and re-animating atavistic, nuanced mumbles. All while trying to offer substance to counter HRC. Good luck with that.

These GOP semantics classes are really hard to ace, apparently. Who knew we had such an erudite Congress?

I’m dying!! GoET is the sober voice of reason, with normal punctuation, grammar and logical coherence, compared to the parade of bumbling fools that the GOP is trotting out to… I don’t even know what the plan is. Does anyone really think that calling Trump “racially toxic” helps??
It’s Improv night, every night at GOP caucus.

Again, I suggest a headline like “Republican endorses “racially toxic” Trump for President”.

It’s like the GOP has become an Olympic-level synchronized contortion team.

Protecting Trump from the Trump U scandal by calling him “the lesser of two evils” and “racially toxic” is literally mind boggling. This is what is seems like they’re doing though.

“[W]e have to find a way to unite this country around one goal, one mission with everyone in the same boat.”

The USS GOP: Slavers up top, and folk like Tim Scott below deck.

If you are explaining away racism, you are losing.

Well we can now add “racially toxic” and “Identity Politics” to the plethora of Republican dog-whistles … they almost make “State Rights” look innocuous.

Is this like saying, “Sure, our candidate likes child porn, but he has a good family a loving wife and he really loves kids!”
