As I said, you have now lost any moral standing. Congrats.
BTW, Merck's CEO just stepped down from one of Trump's advisory councils with the following statement:
"America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal. As CEO of Merck and as a matter of personal conscience, I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism."
Is he a hysterical lefty?
How about Mike Huckabee, Orrin Hatch, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Cory Gardner speaking out against Trump's equivocation in the face of neo-Nazism? Are they all hysterical lefties?

No, Mike Huckabee, Orrin Hatch, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Cory Gardner are all politicians. They're also Republicans, a party that on many occasions in this forum has been painted quite broadly as the party of rich white men that lacks diversity and has no room for people of color. So, are you now suggesting that these members of the Republican party now have moral standing, just because they challenged Trump to be more specific in his statement? Really? Is that how thin your conviction is on this topic?
As far as the Merck CEO, I don't claim to know his politics. Do you?
