President Trump saying
"The retweet ...
was from somebody
that is a very respected conservative pundit.
So I think it was fine"
in defense of his Twitter-based amplification
of a conspiracy theory
tying the Clintons
to Jeffrey Epstein's death
is parallel to a person
someone
anyone
acting like it's fine
to smile and say "Only in the Panhandle"
in response to a rallygoer who says
"Shoot them"
meaning Mexican migrants
because the rallygoer
said it first.
Oh wait.
