Big meme on the MAGA right this week. Interviewer asked HRC re stuff Booker said; HRC corrected her, saying it was Holder who said it, & then HRC sarcastically mocked interviewer for mixing them up. In MAGA circles, obv sarcasm treated as true; outrage that HRC not condemned.
Related sub-theme: Social media firms are going to censor the video to protect Hillary so you can't find out how racist she is.
One defense of this I am hearing is that it's okay to falsely condemn HRC based on an intentional misrepresentation of what she said because the left has misrepresented what conservatives have said before. IOW, we've been wronged, so there are no rules for us. Seems a bad take.
Relatedly, re claim that if the roles were reversed, the media would howl: The flip would be examples of Trump mocking racist views through sarcasm & then being accused of harboring racist views he was criticizing. Useful response to gather examples of that happening, I think.
