You know-you know, when you're watching sports,
there's nothing more exciting than a close match, you know?
Like, even if you have a favorite team,
you still want the game to be close, right?
And, uh, politics is the exact opposite.
Especially when the rival team is a racist clementine.
Because right now, Hillary Clinton is leading the race
by an average of four percentage points,
depending on which poll you look at,
which is too close for comfort, considering her opponent
is a man who regularly says things like this.
Bing, bing, bong, bing.
This should not be a close race, people.
Hillary should be bing, bing, bong, binging the crap
out of that guy.
Especially given the unforced errors
Trump commits on a daily basis. For instance, this weekend.
Donald Trump caught in the middle
of a Twitter firestorm once again.
A tweet showing what appears to be the Jewish star of David
over a backdrop of money labeling Hillary Clinton
the most corrupt candidate ever.
How?
It's as if someone told Trump he's not allowed
to be misogynistic anymore, so he was like,
"Fine, I guess I'll call her a Jew."
Now-now, most people would let a situation like this
slow them down, but Donald Trump is a man
who turns gaffes into gaffe-tunities.
So, his campaign had a perfectly good fix.
REPORTER:
arguing the star was really a sheriff's star.
But no explanation of how the campaign
came across that image, which was previously posted
in a white supremacist chat room.
It's now been changed--
the star replaced with a circle.
Wow, how did you do that, Trump?
It's completely different. Yeah!
That is not even a good cover-up.
You can still see-- if you zoom in--
you can still see the edges of the star
underneath the circle.
Why?
You're not even trying.
You know who... you know who Trump is, right?
Like, Trump is that guy who takes a giant dump
in your bathroom, forgets to flush, and then,
when you confront him, he just comes in with air freshener,
like, "There, it's like I was never here.
It's like I was never here."
I don't-I don't even understand how... Here's my big question:
how could this tweet ever have happened?
REPORTER:
New York golf course caddy- turned social media director
for the campaign now says he selected the star,
explaining he found it under Microsoft's "shapes."
Microsoft's sha... What the hell is Microsoft's shapes?
Who doesn't use Google?
What is Microsoft's shapes?
I mean, I-I see that this is slick.
It's easy to try and blame things on Microsoft, you know?
Microsoft does a few things weird. I mean, Microsoft
keeps making my computer search for anime porn,
and that's not me.
No, I think I have a virus, guys. I think I have a virus.
But... But, you see,
it's not the shape that's anti-Semitic.
That's not the point. It's when you put it
on top of a pile of money next to the word "corrupt"
that makes it anti-Semitic. It's all about context.
For example, a cross isn't a racist shape, yes?
But if you set it on fire on a black person's lawn,
then it is pretty (bleep) racist, people.
That's what makes it racist.
And... and, you know, you know what else makes the star racist?
The fact that you got it from a neo-Nazi
white supremacist Web site.
Like, the fact that you have your former caddy
as your social media director-- who are you? Who are...
It's like Trump thinks of a job,
then he hires the next person he sees.
"Oh, time for my annual checkup.
"Hey, Starbucks guy, put your finger up my butt.
Let's go."
Trump's campaign is a total mess,
but you wouldn't know that watching CNN.
Because to explain the tweet they brought on
their newest hire, Trump's former campaign manager,
a man who literally signed away his right
to say anything bad about Donald Trump.
The bottom line-- this is political correctness run amuck.
If would have been a star next to Hillary Clinton
that didn't have the cash behind it,
no one would be questioning this. This...
this is the mainstream media trying to read into something.
R... I'm sorry, read into something?
What is this guy saying? Oh, and by the way, uh, nice work, CNN.
Yeah. Because, just to be clear, that wasn't some special guest.
CNN has hired this guy.
And not to be Wolf Blitzer's beard groomer. No. No, no, no.
He's a political commentator, all right?
Who's now getting to do Trump's bidding
from inside your news organization, CNN.
Because I... I don't understand.
Don't forget-- he signed an agreement with Donald Trump
saying he's not allowed to say anything bad about Donald Trump.
So why is he on the news?
He's contractually obligated to not say bad things.
Why not just hire Malfoy to give his honest opinion on Voldemort?
Why not do that?
Why-why not go all the way then?
This is...
Listen, I...
I don't think Trump hates Jewish people,
but I know that some of his supporters do.
In addition to black people, Mexicans, Muslims--
you know, most people.
And Donald and his campaign don't do a very good job
of disavowing those people.
REPORTER:
that overstates homicides committed by African-Americans.
REPORTER 2:
next to the Bush family.
REPORTER 3:
in a mariachi outfit.
REPORTER 4:
in "Jewmerica."
Wow.
Look, Trump,
retweet something racist once, you can say it was a mix-up.
Retweet it twice, you say that you're bad at Twitter.
But at some point, you're just racist.
Yeah, and you may be trying to dog-whistle
to a certain group of your people, but you understand
that your message is getting through to all of us.
It's a normal whistle, and it's racist as (bleep).
Your feelings about racism in America
is a lot like your tweets.
You may be able to cover it up,
but your supporters can still see your point.
