Trump is supposed to speak this morning, and of course, the presumed topic is damage control from Sunday's hate rally at Madison Square Garden. Recent revelations include the fact that Trump's people struck Hinchcliffe's use of the c-word, which means they approved the rest. We've now seen North Korean State Television Fox News make rhetorical gestures towards explaining away the slur against Puerto Rico as being about waste management issues. Last night, a Republican commentator on CNN said to Mehdi Hassan "I hope your pager doesn't go off." I bet he thinks he was funny.
But of course, they are not funny. Hinchcliffe is cruel, which is occasionally funny, if you're roasting Tom Brady, but not when you're on a political stage. Someone said, before Biden stepped down, that he hoped he would and Harris would get the nomination, just so the Trump campaign would self-destruct in an orgy of racism and sexism.
I guess we will see. Anyway, the Puerto Rican stuff is playing on a loop on Spanish language media.
