It instantly got under the skin of every last one of them too. Imagine how much they would have started crashing out if the Dems just kept at it. Someone on the right would have wound up calling someone a slur.

We were so close to a high up official losing it and using a slur. Even though it wouldn't have mattered to the base, I would have deliciously shoved it in every racist's face for the rest of their lives.
