Other than the "mentally challenged" part, good on Zach.

Should we really be politically correct when talking about Trumpster? 🤔

[catelyn_tully]

why are you still not banned

[arcticmonkeys]

i'm digging this icon

[yankeesarelove]

not a very PC phrase but good for him for being so publicly against him.

also I love the people that didn't understand the entire segment with Hillary and how Zach 'ruined' her. He humanized her!

[katina921]

it's not great but it's only really bad if we are to assume that he uses the phrase to refer to someone with disabilities. I mean just taken at the literal meaning of it's wording, it's true.
I know this is semantics nonsense and he's just trying to find a PC term for the r-word.
idek what I'm getting at

This faux-principled approach from liberals of wanting not to give Trump a platform is cute or whatever but it falls apart when you see how eager they are to humanize war criminals provided that they're charismatic enough and willing to sing an Al Green song on cue.

Also,

I wouldn't have somebody on that's so mentally challenged

The way some folks who pretend to be progressive readily and consistently throw mentally ill people under the bus is so ugly.

Does Zack claim to be progressive though? Like I would guess he'd be a dem and probably donates to good causes, but I never really thought of him as waving a politically correct flag.

[xtinkerbellax]

"Mentally challenged" is usually not used to describe people who are mentally ill though, he probably thought he was being pc by not using the R word.

[pantless_deacon]

Neitheris Retarded, though.

I love Zach and agree with most of his stuff in this article, but most mildly intelligent people know what that word means.

Call him unhinged, deranged, loopy, etc.
