2) I thought about it and I can't. I don't have the written skills. I would have to quote it in whole or a large section. I also think a tweet is toxic because it's short, but a sentence is worse.
1) Their quote is a textbook cliche. It implies he's a hillbilly to stupid to even know what you can and can't say. His wording was not that.
I would never have used this tweet in this article. It's too complex.
- klyrs 6y agoWhole articles were written about that tweet; it isn't the focus of this article, it's being used to illustrate a point. He's not a "hillbilly" (that's a derogatory sideswipe btw) and he's not stupid, either. The tweet is selected because it's one example of Trump's very long history of racism. His words were written by him, and if they give the impression that he's racist, well, that's the thrust of the article: you chose your own euphemisms, exposing your own biases, but refraining from calling his words and actions racist isn't "objective" in sight of the evidence.
