We’ve just stopped talking about the disgraceful complicity of every MSM outlet and reporter that has chosen to remain on a site that is an explicitly racist, Nazi cesspool.
It is unconscionable that they have CHOSEN to continue using it as their primary social media platform.

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi
