Would rump on tape calling his youngest son the "R" word, something that has been

very widely reported by those who have heard the tapes, worked on the shows, or his frequent use of the "N" word , would it matter?

I wonder.

of children with disabilities who voted for Spanky choosing not to believe Red Bottoms distain for those individuals. Faced with an authentic verified tape those parents will be mortified.

If mimicking a disabled reporter and ignoring his second daughter didn't matter, neither would anything else.

We already have evidence that he is a callous parent, uses despicable language and has no respect for other people and those numbskulls voted for him anyway.

Remember when he mocked New York Times journalist Serge Kovaleski during the campaign?

And I can't even count the number of times he has denigrated people of color.

THE. CONS. DO. NOT. CARE.

I don't know if Tom Arnold ever clarified it.

The youngest son, Barron, isn't short in the mental department, but I believe he is afflicted with autism to some degree.

And the GOPers in Congress would just look down and shuffle their feet and mutter something about how maybe he could have chosen his words a little better.

The only thing his supporters care about are either tax cuts or stacking the courts with extreme conservatives.

I'm sure the base is fine with a little R word here there, especially if the kid deserved it.

Jesus loves him, that I know, for the fake Christians tell me so...

Because Hillary.

Because Obama.

Because Nancy.

Because libruls.

Just....because.

These are brainwashed simpletons and nothing will change their minds, even if the country implodes because of their reps and President.

They'll just blame....well...see above.
