The Epstein emails have damaged Trump beyond repair, because the public has now seen the gross moral rot behind Trump's presidency and the elites who prop it up (and fawned over a convicted sex creep)

Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

A few lazy media members trying to sanitize the actual words of Kirk because he couched his long history of spewing racist & hateful tropes by “being civil” & saying “it’s not who I am”. Yes, he has said enough damning things to confirm who he actually WAS 🙄.
A lot of it is trolls seeking to blow the winds harder and amplify viral crap. Some of it is folks who fear that a call for mere accuracy risks sanitizing him. He said enough damning things on his own without having to distort them.

Exactly. I think it is a much more disturbing media malpractice to discount his spewing of a racist trope because he couched it by saying “..but that’s not who I am”. In context, and based on his long history of racist and bigoted comments, that IS who he was. But sure, he was “civil” 🙄
No, he's offering it as his own sentiment. The rest of the quote makes it quite clear. "I don't wanna think that way" -- but he DOES. He's arguing, pretty clearly, that the existence of affirmative action means that he automatically questions the qualifications of anyone non-white he sees.
