Is that appropriate, Mr. President? Do you think that's appropriate?'"

"It's so racist that after 10 years, finally, finally, even corporate media couldn't do, 'He had a racial trip up. He had a racial flare up. It's economic anxiety.'
It's so racist that even The New York Times yesterday had to say, 'Yeah, that was one of the most xenophobic things we've heard.' So now, folks, they've gone all in. all end with xenophobia and white nationalism."

"Trump’s press hack Karoline Leavitt tells reporters to 'appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from President Trump on a near-daily basis.'
Sorry, Ms. Leavitt. This goes way beyond frankness and openness. Trump is now saying things nobody in their right mind would say, let alone the president of the United States."

"If any president besides Donald Trump had done that, you'd think there might be some questions, some inquiries, some curiosity in that room as to why he mounted that attack. …
I think the reaction of the media to that moment is not something I'm
incredibly proud of as a journalist."
