As the GOP feigns outrage over Hillary Clinton's remarks about the true nature of Trump's supporters, it is useful to revisit the uncensored videos that the New York Times released last month from Trump rallies: The New Civil Rights Movement reminds us of what Trump's base of support is really like (if you have not done so, be sure to watch these videos, and then ask whether or not Hillary was right in here remarks over the weekend):
"Sieg
heil!"
"Fuck you, Hillary!"
"Hang the bitch!"
"Kill her!"
"Trump the bitch!"
"Get out of here, you fag!"
"Fuck that nigger!"
"Hillary Clinton needs to get her ass spanked!"
"Ignorance and immigrants. They mix together!"
"Fuck those dirty beaners!"
"Hillary is a whore!"
The video, clearly, is disturbing, but what's more disturbing is the culture Trump has created, fostered, nurtured, and allowed at his rallies.
The man who literally threw a mother and her crying baby out of a rally on Tuesday but not a 10-year old child who repeatedly yelled, "take the bitch down!" about Hillary Clinton, has made his priorities and what he finds acceptable crystal clear.Perhaps even more revealing are the comments of one Trump supporter included in the video, an older man who says he feels Trump is his last chance to "preserve the culture I grew up in."
Trump's supporters have defined themselves by their own words and actions. If they do not like how Hillary, I and others describe them, then they need to take a good look at themselves and change their behavior. Sadly, we all know that that will never happen. Indeed, I'm sure to much of Trump's base, I just a "filthy faggot" - or worse.
