Donald Trump has some staff who are … well, a lot like Donald Trump, judging by an AP examination of their social media accounts.
Donald Trump's paid campaign staffers have declared on their personal social media accounts that Muslims are unfit to be U.S. citizens, ridiculed Mexican accents, called for Secretary of State John Kerry to be hanged and stated their readiness for a possible civil war, according to a review by The Associated Press of their postings. [...]
A graphic designer for Trump's advance team approvingly posted video of a black man eating fried chicken and criticizing fellow blacks for ignorance, irresponsibility and having too many children. A Trump field organizer in Virginia declared that Muslims were seeking to impose Sharia law in America and that "those who understand Islam for what it is are gearing up for the fight."
And that’s just among the people not with it enough to have set their accounts to private. This part is particularly entertaining:
The AP found little questionable content in the ranks of Trump's top officials. The campaign's social media director, Dan Scavino, tweets prolifically but avoids discussing race and religion.
Sure, Dan Scavino avoids discussing race and religion on his own account, but when Trump tweets an anti-Semitic image, Scavino takes the fall.
Lest you think this is all a dirty media attack on Trump and Clinton got off scot-free, consider this:
The AP also reviewed the public social media accounts of more than three dozen employees of Hillary Clinton's far larger campaign staff and found nothing as inflammatory. One staffer said Trump's style of speaking reminded him of a roommate who had taken too many hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Outrage!
