So everything else he said got official approval from the campaign? That’s great to know.

The Bulwark says the “comic” at the Trump Klan rally last night was going to call Kamala a c—t until staffers nixed it. His set was loaded into a teleprompter.

Melon posted and then deleted this on twitter. The C word has them baffled.

Their claim is that he adlibbed it.

Doubt.

The entire set? The Puerto Rico thing was far from the only racist "joke".

And if that were true, you yank him, and the next speaker out apologizes. None of which happened.

madamehardy.bsky.social•118 days ago

The only part they've acknowledged as not-right is the Puerto Rico insults; the rest of them they let stand when they reviewed the script.

Everytime they open their mouths, they prove there will never be a bar so vulgar & low enough to stoop under

janineglee.bsky.social•118 days ago

Article said it was not all submitted, much was adlibbed live.

Wait, they lied? That's unpossible!

Yeah. And today, while they have distanced themselves from the PR joke, there were plenty of other ethnic slurs and insults throughout the Hinchcliffe bit that they are apparently A-OK with.

This somehow makes his campaign both more and less competent than I thought.

“Staffers”? *Chuckles*
No way there are adults in the room.

ptarnation.bsky.social•118 days ago

no, they’re saying they reviewed it but all or most of the racist material was ad libbed so they didn’t know it would be there

so in fact they are saying he was turning the dial that says racism & looking back at the audience

ptarnation.bsky.social•118 days ago

the writing is a little unclear to me as to whether “sources” in here only refers to the 4 unnamed sources or includes other staff as well

Absolutely wild that this is where they choose to draw the line.
