Trump doubles down on his racist video: I looked at the first part and it was really about voter fraud... Then I gave it to the people. Generally, they look at the whole thing, but I guess somebody didn't.

They didn’t delete the meme or blame a staffer because they realized it was racist and the right thing to do.
They didn’t because of public outrage.
They did it because Republican senators FINALLY spoke out and they backed down.
There’s a lesson in that if they will learn it.
