"He says what everyone’s thinking and is afraid to say. That doesn’t make anyone bigoted."

So, in other words, being bigoted doesn't make one a bigot if there are many other bigots.

That woman's assumption that "everyone" is thinking horribly racist and misogynistic things is quite telling. I guess the only positive to take from that is that some are willing to admit Trump spews hatred, something certain progressives aren't even willing to acknowledge.

Like you, I'm not thinking anything like the shit that comes spewing out of Trump.
