Donald Trump And The Rise Of Extremist GOP Hate Rhetoric - Rick Perlstein Part 1

1. Gotta love how the GOP is now disassociating itself with Trump and his campaign rhetoric.

Sam Seder called the GOP out on Chris Hayes' show the other night and former Republican Party Chair Michael Steele adamantly argued against Seder on his charge. Current GOP Chair Reince Priebus recently disassociated his party with Trump's outrageous campaign remarks. And a number of other prominent Republican candidates and leaders are denying that Trump is speaking on behalf of their party.

What do you guys expect? You've been ginning up this rhetoric and behavior for more than two decades with your RW hate media (talk shows, Faux Snooze and the rest of the lazy-ass mainstream media) and campaign dog whistling. Now, your Frankenstein's Monster is on the loose and uncontrollably spewing the crap your party's been incubating and festering.

Nobody in the party can backpedal fast enough to disavow themselves from Trump, except for the knuckledragging mouth-breathers that Trump's been appealing to on the campaign trail.
