    While I agree with the sentiment, there’s always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
    Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president “go die in a shallow grave.”

    The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.

      I guess, Obama didn’t respond like this:

      TJ Sabula shout “Pedophile protector!” at Trump, before the president responded with a middle finger and a “f*ck you”
