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.”)

    They still talk about Hillary calling Trump’s supporters “deplorables”, but when Trump not only calls liberals/leftists “vermin” but implies that they will be in some way discriminated against, maybe even genocided, it barely makes the news.

      Odd. I see the media talking about it a lot today.
