This is like Trump saying it was "sarcasm"--as if that somehow makes the abject stupidity and callousness less painful.

Who in their right mind "riffs" on the notion of injecting bleach into people's veins?

Whatever the reason or lack of reason behind the statement, it was dumb, ignorant, irresponsible, reprehensible, and should prove to anyone with working brain cells that the man is unfit for office.
