If a racist tape came out about Trump [View all]

It wouldn’t matter. It would just confirm what everyone already knows. But nothing would be done.

He would still have his rabid followers defending him, republicans in Congress will say that they are appalled (but they won’t do anything), FoxNews wouldn’t even mention it, some token conservative black guy would be on tv defending him, someone would say “what about black on black crime”, Robert Byrd being in the KKK would be mentioned, someone will mention that the Democrats of 100+ years ago were racist, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Obama, etc
