Saying about someone “his bigotry” is calling someone a bigot, just as saying “his racism” is calling someone a racist. Let’s not split hairs.

Yes, but there is a certain fineness to using language in explaining how one comes to a conclusion.

In this instance, if one calls another a “bigot” there are (at least) two reasons for doing so:
1) the desire to call someone a name that is derisive, and
2) a conclusion reached after reviewing what a person has said or done.

What Hillary has done is the second choice: she is saying she has reviewed what Drumpfskind has said and concluded it is bigotry.

Meanwhile, in his response, Drumpfskind has chosen the first path.
