“I was prepared to go on stage to craft a statement, saying he decided not to go on stage because of fact-checking… we couldn’t compromise on that.”
As [NABJ president Ken] Lemon was preparing that statement, Trump walked onto the stage.

I am not going to let these racists get away with being racist. They’re racist all the time when the cameras are off. They absolutely use both words to talk about black people, even to their faces. And then Trump goes out there and just says a bunch of racist shit.
Nope, I call it as I see it. I censored myself if anything.
But… it’s hurtful for you to use that word when it really isn’t necessary to do so, even if it’s in a joke.
If you can’t handle me using that word to criticize their racism, you’re really not going to be happy with the language used if Trump gets back into office. Because it won’t be that nice.
It’s hurtful to me to see it, but I can see you don’t care about hurting anyone’s feelings, as long as you can make a post that gets attention.
What a bunch of disingenuous garbage.
Disagreeing with you about one word doesn’t mean that person suddenly doesn’t care about anybody’s feelings on any topic. Get a grip.
Again, if it’s so hurtful for you to see that you’re this upset about it, you’re not going to be able to handle a second Trump administration. You’re not even going to be able to handle the ugliness that will happen between now and November.
Because Republicans will be using much more hateful words and, unlike me, they mean it when they use them. Do you think they aren’t already using the actual N-word all the time? Trump himself has been known to say it. A lot.

So you better get your rock ready. You’re going to need to live under it.
You know nothing about me, and about what I can handle.
You clearly can’t handle someone using the word ‘negro’ on Lemmy when they’re suggesting it’s something racists say. So yeah, I think I know enough about you to say that you won’t be able to handle it if someone actually uses it in a racist way if you can’t handle this.
I can handle it. I just don’t like it. And it’s not about the Republicans, my comment has nothing to do with them, it was about you. You’re the one that used the racial epithet. You.
Yes. I can see. You can handle it so well you’ve been getting upset about it for over a day now.
Because it’s hurtful.
Unlike, apparently, when the actual racists are saying it.
