And (playing Trump-style Devil's Advocate, NOT to be confused with actual beliefs) besides, did he say anything nasty? Why would 'white genocide' automatically have 'nasty' stuff in it? What word tells you that there is going to be 'nasty' content in that account? White? (See? It doesn't matter how you respond at that point, you're already on the defensive and in case many haven't noticed, 'racist' isn't exactly gaining any traction anymore.) EDIT: In case it isn't clear, I wanted to note that this segment is meant to show just how simple it is to turn a generic comment around, not to attack your specific comment as if there were something wrong with it, Tommy.

It's simply too easy to spin for literally no purpose. There is nothing new to learn from this 'story', there is nothing to gain from this 'story', there really isn't even a 'story' at all! ("Man repeats something another man said, News at 11!&quot That's what's frustrating about it. Because they're so rabid to jump on literally anything so they can be the one who 'sunk Donald Trump' that he'll jerk them around all over the place, gaining followers as he does. They can't ignore him because he makes them so much money and it's too late to start now because it would be transparent at this point, but they could definitely be more selective on what they run with.
