LYNN, C-SPAN CALLER: I would like to ask this fellow what is his authority to say -- sit up here and spew all this hateful, all Republicans are racist. Do you live in my household? Do you know me?

LYNN: Right now on the TV, you are the racist. You are. And you have no right to say this.
UYGUR: No, I have a right. See, you're used to Republicans being strong on television and Democrats cowering. New day in America. We don't play that game. Progressives, we actually fight back. So, you can call me racist based on what? Ok?

I asked you if you support Trump because I'm judging you by your ideas, the people you are backing. I'm not doing it blindly and I'm definitely not doing it based on your race.
