I can’t wait to see what no consequences he’ll face for this.

(Edit) Full quote from rally:
Think of that: no death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker. And in some cases, Shylocks and bad people.
I hate to give the guy a pass, but to be fair, I wasn't aware that was a slur (or even a word). If anything, it sounds more like a homophobic term.
Edit: yeah, actually that's a hard one to right a pass on.

If you know the word, then you know it's a slur. His history of antisemitic statements guarantees he knew what it meant.

I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I don't think he's being antisemitic here. He's just the usual Trump: crass and uneducated.
Kind of like when he famously said "The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys who wear yarmulkes every day” in the 90's: he wasn't being an antisemite, just being a sleazebag.
Well, he's still a sleazebag. You don't make a racehorse out of a donkey.

That's definitely antisemitic. There's absolutely no ambiguity here.

"If I frame my blatant racism as supposedly a compliment it can't be racism right?"
Sure it's slightly better than openly hating and denigrating a race, but it's still racist. They don't understand this.

He's been spewing antisemitism like this since at least 2015. I didn't pay much attention to him before then
It's not just ignorance when it's pointed out repeatedly over the years and you keep doing it.

Fucking what has this guy ever done to deserve the benefit of the doubt? Seriously?
-
ExtremeDullard is wrong. End of transmission.

Busting out the slur deep cuts
-
Seriously. Dude's got mush brain and was steeped in racism starting in the 50s. I'm surprised he hasn't called anyone a wop or mick yet

He'll deliver an EO tomorrow declaring 'Shylock' to be a superlative to 'Rabbi'.
Is that a euphemism for shitting an EO?
