    “See now, the press will take that, and they’ll say, ‘He said a horrible thing.’”

    Ok, so the guy is a fuckwit and all, but the article has right in it where he pretty plainly put it as a joke. We don’t need to feed the new cycle with every crass bs thing that comes out of his mouth.

      Can you explain to me how this is a joke?

      His audience laughed because they’re dumb. But to me, this looks like the negging thing where you anticipate being called out for your insult and say “It’s a joke. It’s just a joke!”

        I mean, regardless, the reason he says shit like that is so he can later point to the media and say “look what they’re saying about me,” and his cultists lap it up. It doesn’t really matter much if he meant it or not.
