“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.

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.
But the racists you’re speaking of aren’t using it in public. Name one instance of an elected Republican using it in public in the past year. You can’t because they don’t. Do you know why they don’t? Because they know it’s offensive, hurtful, and they’ll get blowback for it.
But you did use the racial epithet, very unnecessarily, your point and joke could have been made without it.
You’re pointing your finger at racists because you say they’re using racial slurs privately. But you used it publicly. You did.
That’s why I called it out, you used a racial slur publicly, unnecessarily, that would be hurtful to people, and you’re proud of it and defend it. It’s not about what Republicans do, it’s about what you do.
Yet. Which is my point.
But you can’t handle it when someone who isn’t trying to be offensive said it.
And then you continued to talk about how much it hurt you. Repeatedly. And then claimed I didn’t care about anyone’s feelings because I didn’t care if a word that people use in much ways hurt you when I used it.
By the way, you have no idea what my skin color is. I wonder if that would matter?
