Disgusting comment... but par for the course when it comes to Rethuglicans.

that was a DOG whistle heard statewide by a racist candidate for governor! He should withdraw now! See what Trump has done to this country?

I have no respect for this man and it only reinforces my contempt for this racist boot licking Trump kiss ass. My hope is that this revelation of his most inner prejudices becomes an incessant scream that drowns out his fascist message of hatred and division.

Sad that some people don't acknowledge their own persuasions/perversions.
Sadder still that much of the leadership of this country is making this normal. I absolutely hate these people.

for him to keep on talking.
