So, Mark Asshole Burnett

Now that the vile chats from the “Young Fat Fucks” have been released isn’t it about time you did the same for the child rapist’s n-word rants from the “Bone Spurs The Kid Fucker” show?

He told USA Today: “Given all of the false media reports, I feel compelled to clarify a few points," Burnett said in the statement emailed to USA TODAY. "I am not now and have never been a supporter of Donald Trump’s candidacy. I am NOT 'Pro-Trump.' Further, my wife (actress Roma Downey) and I reject the hatred, division and misogyny that has been a very unfortunate part of his campaign.”

And yet, the fact that Donald Trump won the 2016 election is due in very large part to the Donald Trump character that Burnett created in The Apprentice and he has also gone to great lengths to protect anything from the show that could have damaged Trump.

ETA: And to my knowledge they have never spoken against Trump policies, just the offensive packaging. Nor did they support Clinton, Biden or Harris.

Their leadership are a "Basket of Deplorables", same as a totality of their supporters at this point. Mrs Clinton only suggested Some of them were such, and they got all fake outraged. They did the same with Al Gore taking a snippet of a longer discussion where he rightly claimed credit for creating the phrase Information Highway, and mentioned he had been instrumental in getting the itnernet opened up to the public in the Senate in the 1980s. The regressive media went with the inaccurate soundbite that he claimed to have invented the internet, which he never said.
