The point isn’t that old bigots like Buchanan are oppressed. The fact that the media feels they should be given a fair platform to resurrect their bigotry in the public space and that it is worthy of debate is what’s shocking.

On my way home from work I was listening to Chris Hayes and he had Ann Coulter on with Joy Reid. I caught the conversation mid-stream, but basically Joy was going off on how we don’t need to return to using arcane terminology for ethnic groups like Asian Americans…and Ann came back with “they’re Mandarins!” - I was all, “holy fuck! Did she just say Mandarins?” Why does Chris Hayes feel the need to give that kind of bigotry a platform? Because there’s so much shit on the table with Trump that everything is fair game.

Honestly, if Americans paused for a second and attributed this crap to the GOP, the Democrats could win 435 of the house seats in November.
