I don't think the problem is having published it. I think the problem is having had those words pronounced and recorded.

It's one thing being a racist fascist. It's another having the gal to admit it in private. It's a whole other plate to admit it in front of a camera.

Its okay if you didnt read the article, most people dont bother to. But maybe don't jump into the discussion pretending like you did...

I got a summary out of it, which confirmed I didn't need to read the article. I see this as a win! But yeah, I tend not to read articles about Trump and talking out of my ass afterwards, mea culpa.

The point is that they didn't, it was a video made by some anonymous internet asshole that they republished uncritically. It's a very uninteresting story.

The words were in the text of a (real) headline shown in the video.
