    You have to take it in the context of his continuous racism, dog whistling and degradation of immigrants, minorities and Puerto Rico in whole. The hurricane support he himself blundered while president? His continuous alienation and demonization of immigrants and minorities, legal or not? The reason it happened, and the reason the comedian’s mic wasn’t turned off and the crowed enjoyed it, was because he and his campaign enabled it and want it to continue.

    You can’t separate Trump’s responsibility from this when every chance they get they double down on the racism.

      He’s done a lot of shit things, why manufacture one, is my point.

      Keep the facts clean, don’t distort and mislead. It doesn’t seem like America needs more of that at the moment.

        Trump is a mobster kingpin. Mob bosses don’t have to say the thing for them to have 1., approved of the message being said, and 2., having sent the message themselves.

        You’re still looking at this neutrally and separated from the environment from where it’s coming from. It’s misleading to NOT recognize what’s actually happening here, and it absolutely is Trump (because the RNC and campaign is a reflection of him… he is its leader) pushing these agendas and attacks.
