If Donald Trump had made the joke the outraged people would be defending and the defending people would be outraged. It's like a sports game in that way.
And as others have said. The comment was aimed at himself. Republicans are so starved for situations that they can claim to be taking the moral high ground that they'll use any out of context opportunity. I'm sure they thought Ted Nugent was "just being Ted" when he made his Obama comments in 2012.
Ok well let me say I'm skeptical that if Donald Trump had ever said "I don't work in the fields, I'm a house nigger." Or if he said something like that directed at himself, if he said "Wow I'm such a nigger" I don't think Tizher UK would make a comment in his defense that would get kudos from hammy and JamieB.
I just don't see that happening.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
