    As racist and stupid this statement is, it’s not reason enough for prison. Putting people in prison for saying something mean or dumb is the exact kind of thing the GOP would want to be able to do to anyone they deem “too woke”. Let’s not lower ourselves to their way of thinking.

      Here in Brazil we had a politician who accidentally slipped a racist anecdote, he was forced to resign.

        If he were a Democrat and he said something like that he’d be forced to resign too, but for the GOP (at least the fringes), this is pretty on brand.
