Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back on those condemning the former president’s choice of “vermin” to attack his opponents, telling the Washington Post that critics “who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything because they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.” (Cheung later clarified to the Post that he meant to say their “sad, miserable existence” instead of their “entire existence.”)

    A racist I unfortunately work with likes to call people "cockroaches". She thinks she is being clever by using that as a code word for minorities.

      That's more clever than the words a lot of these assholes use… like 'ghetto.' I was talking to someone like that earlier, about how the kids who went to the 'ghetto schools' were part of a community that didn't value education. And then he started trying to sell me on fucking Thomas Sowell.
