Dan LeBatard, an ESPN host takes Trump to task

Truth from the host of a sports radio talk show ......just remarkable commentary. The clip cuts out before he completes his sentence but what he says is:

"If you're not calling it abhorrent, obviously racist, dangerous rhetoric, you're complicit." Amen.

I don’t talk politics on here but this isn’t political, this is obvious: This is abhorrent, obviously racist, dangerous rhetoric and not calling it out makes you complicit.

The “send her back” chant + the “go back to where you came from” are so antithetical to what we should be.
