(14,620 posts)of courting white supremacists for a vote he has the audacity to say trump is corrupting the party. Trump is the natural outcome of what they have been building. His real problem is trump took off the hood and doesn't use the coded language republicans use to make bigotry acceptable to their less conservative voters. Oh. Wait, you didn't think their bigotry and hate stopped at brown people, did you? Ah, yeah. Include Jews in that hate. You work for him, you supported him. It was well known that he is a bigot, misogynist and racist for decades, so what he is doing comes as no big surprise.
Take a bow Cohn, you deserve it.
