Crap like that comment only feeds the liberal slander machine. That they push the false GOP-is-racist narrative is bad enough... why give them ammunition???
And how! If a national election was imminent, this story would be the big national news event of the week.
"And so, Senator Cruz, do you agree with your Republican colleague Rep. Garofalo that most black athletes are potential criminals?"It's all about mobilizing the low-information vote, and the left's propaganda machine does that very well.
Rule #1 for Republican politicians: Never give the MSM ammunition that they can use against you.
