Good God. The idea that anyone in the Republican party could defend a song calling someone a "Magic Negro" . . .

And they wonder why the party is going down in flames. Loyalty is an admirable quality, but at some point, a mature adult needs to have the balls to say "What you did there was wrong, and however I might agree with you politically, I won't support you in this."
