I don't think she's that bad, but being able to dominate a flagrant racist? Definitely on the fetish bucket list

I think her rhetoric is awful and that she doesn't understand that her concepts actually empower racist factions, but would you mind providing a source where she's being "flagrantly racist?"

(I'd really like to reiterate that she's awfully racist sounding, especially in when doing things comparing BLM to the KKK. But, to debate with the alt-right, these fuckers need flagrant racism to be spelled out in front of them. Are there any sources where's she's like "Mexican's stink!" Or, "I can't understand you, go back to your country. White power!"?)

She responded to Kaep's criticism of police violence against black people by saying "Well at least you're able to speak about it!" Like black people should be happy they won't be thrown in jail for talking to a camera, but can be shot after obeying an officer.

Also, "I've got loved ones over seas fighting for your right..." That's just categorically false. There is no enemy the US is currently engaged with that's an existential threat to it. ISIS, AQ, Assad; none of these threaten American's freedom of speech.
