I still think context matters, and he was clearly discussing illegal immigrants coming from Mexico & in relation to MS-13. The media would show that clip without context and instantly generate outrage.
His problem has always been that he's not an eloquent speaker, if he were, I suspect he would have sailed into a second term without a challenge. For his supporters, what he lacks in speaking ability is made up by his…

This is not true at all. I see comments like this and wonder if the person even ventured to TD, interacted in the comments, or just simply contrived such a story. I don't doubt that there were bad actors in TD, as there…
