Continuing the Republican hand-waving of “never mind what he says, because …”
- he’s just telling it like it is
- he’s just calling it as he sees it
- it’s just Trump being Trump
- he’s just being deliberately provocative
- he’s just trying to call attention to things the media ignores
- he’s speaking about important issues
- he’s just joking/sarcastic/funny
- he doesn’t literally mean what he says
- he’s just speaking to his base
- he didn’t actually say that, it’s being taken out of context by the fake news media
- Kamala is hiding from the press and not giving interviews
- Kamala isn’t giving us any real policy positions
- Trump is winning every poll
- Democratic rhetoric almost got Trump assassinated 3 times already
- ok, he did actually say that, but it doesn’t mean what you think it does
- ok, it does mean what you think it does, but <pick something else from the list>
