I can’t tell you how angry this makes me - and I get angrier thinking about how he gets away with it and how so many liberal white journalists spent the past few years refusing to call him a racist. Oh, and how this won’t even be a story 24 or maybe even 12 hours from now.

It’s easy for a lot of journalists covering Trump to talk about him or cover him in an impersonal, even abstract way. It’s where the #normalization comes in.
On nights like this, for those of us in the media who are black/brown/Muslims/immigrants, it’s very, very personal.

“Trump on Ilhan Omar: She’s telling us how to run our country. How did you do where you came from?”
That’s not racially-tinged, or racially-inflammatory, or racially-divisive... it’s racist!
Racist.
