    I hate the guy with every fiber of my being, but this story has been probably the only one where I absolutely don't care mainly because I know his base and I know how lazy and unprofessional his staff is. I'm like 90% sure this actually wasn't intentional and they were too lazy to analyze the whole thing.

    It IS troubling that all the Nazis that would make this content really like Trump...

      I don't think the problem is having published it. I think the problem is having had those words pronounced and recorded.

      It's one thing being a racist fascist. It's another having the gal to admit it in private. It's a whole other plate to admit it in front of a camera.

        The point is that they didn't, it was a video made by some anonymous internet asshole that they republished uncritically. It's a very uninteresting story.
