Sherrod Brown should press Jon Husted on his weak response to Trump's racist video

Jon Husted congratulated the White House for removing the racist video. That’s it. He is “glad.” the White House “recognized.” that the video was posted. No mention of Trump.

This guy and Brown are in a very close race. If this is the net he can do, he’s just another Trumper rubber stamp in the making:

“Many politicians on both sides of the aisle remain outraged, including some here in Ohio. In an email to 3News, Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted said, "The video was absolutely unacceptable, and I'm glad the White House recognized that and removed it."
U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH-11) condemned the video on social media.
"I am DISGUSTED by Trump’s attack on the Obamas and Black Americans, but am I surprised? Of course not. But I refuse to let him ruin Black History Month. Let’s set the record straight."
