Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back on those condemning the former president’s choice of “vermin” to attack his opponents, telling the Washington Post that critics “who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.” (Cheung later clarified to the Post that he meant to say their “sad, miserable existence” instead of their “entire existence.”)
“Your candidate is making assertions that make him sound like a genocidal fascist, any comment?”
…K.
“their
entiresad, miserable existence”Important clarification. Really changes the context.
That’s what used to be called a “Freudian Slip”. These days, it it’s just standard GOP tactics to testing the waters to measure the amount of support for fascism.
I’m glad they cleared that up.
Some people would probably have gotten unduly worried otherwise.
