Not the Onion:
That is literally a headline at Breitbart, so to reiterate, not the Onion. Laugh all you want. I did! But it’s not the Onion.
So to what does Breitbart base this hilarious assertion?
“You’re right—100 percent,” [Donald] Trump told Breitbart News when asked about how the Republican Party led the way on ending slavery, the Civil Rights movement and women’s suffrage.
That’s it. That’s the entire basis of that headline, which the Onion wishes it had written.
Just imagine, some dude goes up to Trump, and it has to be a dude because otherwise Trump’s staff would’ve gotten violent. So anyway, this dude goes up to Trump and asks, “Hey Donald, you know how the Republican Party did some awesome shit until the 60s when all the awesome Republicans became Democrats and all the racist Dixiecrats became Republican?” Trump answers “You’re right—100 percent”, and BOOM! Breitbart has its exclusive: “Donald Trump plans to continue GOP legacy of good stuff it has no intention of actually worrying about!”
And they were serious about it.
