It's An Ill Wind....

that blows no good. Trump has done a great job bringing the cockroaches out of hiding so we can see them for their true character and it isn't pretty. Let them spout their hate and their veiled and not so veiled racist sentiments so we can all turn our backs on them. Just like this scene from 12 Angry Men.

father of Ed Begley Jr. . Interesting such a progressive guy playing the bigot. Yes, quite a powerful scene.

That's what's so powerful. You can fill in any race or ethnic group into "they". Shows the pervasive power and corrosive evil of prejudice. You don't need to know what group he's talking about to know what he's saying is bad.
