I'm glad this "playing to the bigots" has been called out.

The left has a tendency to apologize too quickly when right-wingers manufacture their latest outrage du jour.

Fuck that. Trump has gotten a pass over and over and over – for calling Mexicans RAPISTS, African-Americans LAZY, etc. We need to stand behind her on this because what she said is 100% TRUE.

I do think it sounded like exaggerated stereotyping, even though there certainly is a hard core of Trump supporters that exactly meet her description.

But you know what? Assuming she's elected, she is supposed to be President for ALL Americans, and find a way to reach and improve the lives of everyone.

It's going to take a lot more creativity and humanity than this gratuitous group shaming idea again.
