He's right, if the evidence was not legitimate, then Robinson would have a slam-dunk libel lawsuit worth millions. Like, it wouldn't even be hard to prove the evidence was faked. Just subpoena the logs from the servers and prove that the posts and comments were not legitimate. It would be easy and profitable, not to mention a huge victory that would clear his name and boost his profile right before the election.

Funny, it doesn't seem like he wants to go down that road. Because he knows the evidence is not manufactured, because he is a Nazi.

Uh… repubs are going to be manning the crematoria if trump wins. Why would we expect denunciations?

They must be worried denouncing their friend the black nazi would make them appear racist. Bless them.

With the current state of the GOP, they're probably still trying to figure out whether their voters are more concerned by the "black" or the "nazi" part of his statement.

The bottom line here is simple. Six weeks to election day and we get a week to ten days of "Trump's handpicked NC candidate is a ginormous piece of hypocritical shit." So that rips another week and change off their campaign calndar to try to "attract" voters.

Then, five weeks before election day, Walz splatters Shady JD in a debate. So that rips another week off the calendar to try to regain the momentum and "attract" voters.

Of course by then Desperate Donald will have blurted 100 new horrific things and a hundred or more women will hve been murdered by GOP-Sharia-Trump Abortion Bans.

But OK it's what 15 October, three weeks to go. By then I guess Trump refuses to leave the golf cart and NoChance Vance has to campaign in PA, FL, and NC nonstop....

So no, Senators aren't going to say shit about Robinson. Trumps problem.

October 15 is later than it seems - Don't forget, early voting is already underway in some places and will be in full swing by then.
